I'm watching the Senate do a second vote on cloture on the Immigration bill. If this one fails it's dead for months. I really hope they keep it going. It's a mess, but at least it's something

Well, it's a simply gorgeous day outside, and I think I'm going to head to the Park. And I think I may actually go for a job around the Reservoir too.

Laters...

Oh! Is that where they give them now?

The plumber was here earlier; DH installed the new medicine cabinet earlier. He is now installing the new mirror. All we have left is the new light fixture and the piece of baseboard and it will be done.

Perhaps the pring is too small for DR Jose, too.

Back from the Schoenfeld... And it looks like I may go on Saturday night (too) this weekend. I got the heads up from the conductors, and now I just need to wait for the call.

DR Matthew - The Key 3 Book for the current revival of A Chorus Line is mainly the new string parts that Mr. Tunick incorporated for the revival. -The original had no strings - live or otherwise. There's a little bit of harpsichord, and I also get the funky organ and synth stuff in "Music and the Mirror". So, basically, it's the new string book with bits and pieces of the old conductor's keyboard part. In other words, it's very easy.

Lots of whole notes. Lots of "Tacet". Lots of rests. Consequently, the book has been called the "Coma Book" since it could be very easy to fall asleep and/or to lose count.

Key 2 covers the guitar, harp and some Rhodes. Key 1 is piano (of course), celeste and some Rhodes - it's almost like the original book. Strangely enough, the "Tap Dance" was re-done, and now the piano plays even more of it than before. -And that stride piano ain't easy.

Back from West LA - did what I needed to do, and then endured horrendous traffic all the way home. I'm now watching one of what I hope will be at least two DVDs, and relaxing. Some day off this turned out to be.

DR George - Orchestra subs names are never listed anywhere. The only ones who get listed in the program are the "primary" players for each position in the pit. And even then, if someone leaves the show, and a new "primary" comes in, it may take another Playbill re-printing or two to get the name in the program.

However, some shows that have small bands will post the musicians on the same board in the lobby with the actors. Avenue Q does this. However, again, only the primary people are listed, none of the subs. The only person in the pit to get listed out front is the conductor for that evening's performance.

However... Whether you're in the program or not, you still get paid the same. And minimum right now, ain't bad.

DR Matthew (Part 2) - The Key 3 book for ACL does remind me a lot of the Key 4 book for Mamma Mia!. -Right down to having two songs where all I had/have to play is the last chord.

DR MattH - Have you heard any further updates in regards to what's happening with Spirit Square and the McGlohon Theatre? The fall SETC conference will be back there this September. Well, it's supposed to if the place hasn't been torn by then. Just wondrin' what the "local news" is saying since there's been lots of speculation elsewhere.

My feelings exactly. When I saw it, the one thing I missed most was the harp - not to mention the ACOUSTIC piano!

I've been very fortunate that the two times I've done the show before, it was always with the full, original orchestration/pit. The first time was at a college, those players could play! However, when I did the show down in Houston at TUTS, those players could PLAY!!! Most of them had played for the tours when they had come through over the years. Those guys and gals were smokin'!

However, I do have say, that hearing the current orchestration in the pit room is still pretty exciting. It really is too bad that due to the size of the actual pit and the stage(!) at the Schoenfeld, that the orchestra could not be placed there, and heard acoustically - rather than through the sound board. *If the pit had been used, it would made the show virtually impossible to do since it would have cut another three to five feet of depth, and the full stage is still a little smaller than ideal.
