Well, all I know is that I'm adding "Xanadu" to my repertoire immediately.

Believe it or not, I have been asked to play the "Hokey Pokey" for a funeral service this Thursday.  I kid you not.

Well, DR Jason sang his ole standby, "Giants In The Sky".

DR Cason sang "Haben Sie Gehort Das Deutsche Band" from The Producers.

*Which reminds me, we need to talk about the button to that song, DR Cason.

I remember the alligator fram by Knott's Berry Farm.  As I remember, it was very hot when we were there and most of the alligators just layed there.  I do remember the cobras there, as well.

I loved Pacific Ocean Park, but I was upset that I never got to ride in the skyride which were glass balls and went over the water..

I don't recall the alligators doing much BESIDES just laying around, aside from the occasional splash, of course. Glad someone else remembers it.

George I'm very pleased you have begun walking to and from work, keep it up!

Yes, I was thinking it was great, too. A way to put a bit more leisurely exercise into your day.

LOL JMK.

I was asked to provide a recording of "It's Hard To Be Humble (When you're perfect in every way)" (Mac Davis) for a funeral last year.

...And then there was this other young woman who came in with "The Beauty Is" from The Light in the Piazza.

-I'm sorry but I cut some of the piano notes off when I made the copy.
"Well, you'll be sure to correct that for the next pianist."
-Yes, I will.
"Oh, it's OK.  I know the song..."

In any case... I think I may have had a touch of 'tude in my voice when I asked her to correct her music.  However...

-So, if you're giving me incomplete music, are you expecting me to play it incompletely?
-And for anyone considering bringing in "The Beauty Is" to an audition, please try to get the actual pit piano/rehearsal part.  The vocal selections arrangement is horrible!  With the melody doubled in the accompaniment, it's actually harder to play than the real accompaniment especially in the opening "spiky" section.

I am getting the impression that many of these singers would do well to work with an accompanist a bit and learn how to come into an audition better prepared.

DR Edi - No offence but in that Musical - that international thing - many of the songs seemed to be repeated (or maybe they just sounded too similar). I hope the S & V songs have more variety.

LOL! Yes---there is a slight repetiiton in The Internationale!  ;D

Actually, I think I used over 40 versions of the song in that film.

And there are actual S&V songs in this film.

I think in this new release, the songs are performed by Bjork

Well, sadly(?), I think it's a case of economics as it were.  A lot of actors don't work with someone before an audition since they can't afford to work with someone.

Although, today was sort of strange.  We had a bunch of people who came into the room, and the first words out of their mouths were, "This is my first audition."  And, alas, it showed.

Then there were the people who had decent "books", but then had no real idea what and how to sing.  However, at least they had the repertoire.

And then there were the people who had obviously just come out of a college program, but seemed to have absolutely no idea what to do at an audition.  It's cases like that where I just have to wonder about the program they went through, and/or what kind of student they were.

Oh... And then there are the people who bring in a good "book", and then when asked if they could sing something else, really don't know what else to sing - even though they brought in 20 other songs with them.  OR when I start looking through their book, "Oh, could we hear that?"  -I don't know that one... Or that one....  Well... :-\

Rule number one - don't put anything in your book that you don't know how to sing.

The Internationale was really wonderful - and led us back to watching "Reds".

It also led us to the warm and wonderful "Been Rich All My Life".

Looking forward to singing along with S & V.

When we lived in Seattle, we would ride the small rides in the park by the Space Needle.  -And the Space Needle was also a ride as far my brothers and I were concerned

We considered the monorail a ride, too!

And I believe that that movie was based on a true story too, and I've always wondered if that house is still standing in NYC.  DR edisaurus may have a come across a possible lead in that regard.

That sounds like a different dream house, unless it was a building in the village inhabited by a minimalist composer and his artist partner and played the same chord for years on end.
