Good morning from the home of the Super Bowl-winning Indianapolis Colts!!

Or as they are called in by many in the state: The Indianapolis Coats. (that "L" seems superfluous to some).

DR DAKOTA CELT - there are many versions of ANYTHING GOES, and I haven't heard them all, but of the ones I have heard....this is my favorite!

Last night for dinner I ate Chinese food for the first time since I had my attack of the heart and I wound up having a series of bizarre dreams. In one segment that I clearly remember, I was at a Caribbean seaside resort, taking advantage of a free three day stay provided by an insurance company that was trying to sell me a life insurance policy. I decided to skip a sales seminar and sit on the beach and read. However, the insurance people sent a little native boy who was schooled in sales talk to interrupt my beach time. The little boy went into a sales pitch in which, in order to illustrate the risks in life, he allowed himself to be stung and bit by a variety of insects and bugs. I stared in horror as he shook a jar of spiders, millipedes and wasps (no scorpidos, though) onto his arms and legs and started talking about rates and premiums. I didn't exactly wake up screaming, but I was plenty disturbed I can tell you.

There was a Japanese song that was a hit in the sixties that they just arbitrarily entitled Sukyaki, which, of course, was not it's real name but one of the few Japanese words Americans knew. I guess it sounded better than Won Ton.

TOD:

"Sukiyaki"

Elvis singing "Wooden Heart" - in German

Connie Francis singing "Where the Boys Are" in Japanese.

DR DantheMan's dream reminded me: last night I dreamed I was at a swimming party at Steve Sondheim's country house, and my hosts from Los Angeles were also in the dream. I have no idea what Steve's Connecticut home is like, but in the dream it was quite palatial.

Now back to the IRS!

Our school structure is failing, we need more law enforcement officers, the sewers are inadequate....BUT....

We are GIVING tax dollars to Mr Irsay and his PRIVATE BUSINESS to operate a sports team and BUILD a stadium....TAX DOLLARS in addition to the "temporary" entertainment/restaurant tax that was placed on Marion County a dozen years ago to pay for the Super (RCA) Dome that they will soon abandon.

My prediction - the Colts will Bolt Indy for a larger and more metropolitan city before 2015!

I remember looking at a Dream Book at Barnes & Noble during my days there. Or did I dream it?

Thank you all for the vibes and kind thoughts. I do appreciate your concern. As of 10 am EST, there has been no word from family. I am continuing with my day as if it were any other.

I'm a day late in piping in on the discussion, bit I am in the pro-2001 ASO camp. I recall seeing it's TV broadcast debut and thinking that it was okay. But years later I got to see it on a big, big movie theatre screen in a re-release and was able to really appreciate the spectacle that it was made to be.

What has somewhat soured me on 2001 over the years has been subsequently reading Clarke's novel and numerous sequels, which over-explain the original concepts and take away from the cosmic grandeur of the film.

Good morning!

Another beautiful day with extremely cold temperatures outside. It was 29 just a moment ago and not supposed to climb past the mid 30s today. Warmer later in the week (mid 40s). So, this is as winter as it usually gets for us.

The score to ANYTHING GOES has been tampered with repeatedly since it became a hit in the 1930s. I grew up with the off-Broadway recording with Hal Linden and Eileen Rodgers (which added other tunes to the original's score), and that's forever my favorite.

The 1987 Lincoln Center revival added different Porter tunes and rearranged others, but the Broadway cast recording is undeniably exciting to listen to. I also like the London version of the same update with the marvelous Howard McGillan still onboard as Billy and Elaine Page as Reno.

The Kim Criswell recording that DR George alluded to contains just the original score, not the additions from other Porter musicals, and it's valuable for that reason. But you're not likely to ever see that version of ANYTHING GOES ever performed.

Isn't the 1987 revival the "official" version of the show now? The last two times I saw it in theaters around here, that's the version that was used.

I've had two calls in the past 10 minutes, one from my brother Randy and one from his beautiful wife: my dad has asked to be taken to hospital. As soon as I know the state of things from the medical point of view, I'll make a determination on returning to Ohio. I hope it's not so severe that I can hold off untill at least the end of the week to finish my IRS date with my accountant, but that can be postponed if necessary.

I'm sure the Macbeths will weigh in shortly: she loves to spread bad tidings.

I'm not a football fan at all, but I had to feel happy for Peyton Manning after so many Super Bowl lost chances in years past to get his chance finally and make the most of it.

And I especially loved his humility in acknowledging that it was a team effort and not his win alone. He has always impressed me as a very decent person.

I'm up, I'm up - early. Weird dreams, too.

The discussion of the A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC film. So many good elements for such a puny result. Bad decisions were made all around: dropping many of the best songs, using the same voice dubber for three different female characters, etc.

And yet, without that movie, we wouldn't have that absolutely marvelous new version of "The Glamorous Life" which I prefer ten thousand times over the original stage version. We wouldn't have Diana Rigg's unforgettably poignant Charlotte, my favorite performance in the movie. And we wouldn't have Len Cariou or Laurence Guittard's performances of their original roles (even though they lost some of their music along the way).

So, it's a very mixed bag for me, but I'm glad I have the movie (pan and scanned as it is) on videotape.

I would post something pithy but first I must de-groggify.

I'm so groggy I can hardly pith right now.

Can we say that on a family site?

Matt H. · « **Reply #59 on:** February 05, 2007, 07:48:25 AM »

Foreign language songs. I guess it would have to be LES MIZ's songs. It's the only pop opera that I really like, so that gives it the title for me without any competition.

I do like "Volare" in its original language. Didn't Petula Clark sing it half in English and half in Italian? SOmeone did that I had on an 8-track tape (remember those?).
