BK:

I know of composer Hugo Montenegro, but never realized that his film work was relatively small about seven films. He tv work seems to be mainly the Partridge Family and Here Comes The Brides.

I think I remembering having some LPs of movie themes that I thought he was the composer for, but now I am not so sure.

So does he have a reputation in Hollywood as a composer, arranger or what?

Topic of the Day: the first song that came to mind was "All Those Chrismas Clichés," recorded by Lainie Kazan on the CD, "Cabaret Noel: A Broadway Cares Christmas." I LOVE this song and I especially love her version (which I assume is the very first recording). Christiane Noll and Susan Egan both recorded it later. They have lovely voices and otherwise sing it well, but I think that they're too young. It about Christmases past and I don't think they're old enough to have the feeling of nostalgia that (to me) the song needs. It should be sung by a woman "of a certain age" and they're not there yet...in my humble opinion. Lanie's version is perfection.

Today, I'll be ushering for an event at The Washington Center for the Performing Arts called City of Olympia Arts and Events Ethnic Celebration. It's a free event, so mainly we're there for crowd control.

The program starts at 10:00 am, but my shift doesn't start until 12:30 pm. I'll be done at 4:00 pm, so after that, my friend Margo and I are going to the movies. I don't know what we're going to see (I can't remember what we decided on), but I'm sure I want to see it.

Good night and have a good day, all!

DR George, I'll have to go listen to Lainie's version again. I've alway been partial to Nancy LaMott's version on her Christmas album, along with "Just In Time For Christmas."

DR td: really enjoying those Sara G. tracks - thanks!

GREAT mortgage news, DR George! Fantastic!! Congratulations.

Oh, and DR td - I do have that Poppins book, but I haven't cracked it open yet. [So what else is new?

Thanks for the photographs of the New York HHW mini gathering last night!! Wonderful to see everyone having a good time!!

Good morning, all!

Singdaw got in late and he's already up posting? I feel like a slackard. I may even go back to bed in a moment...

Edisaurus · « **Reply #15 on:** January 26, 2008, 04:54:09 AM »

We did indeed partake of the fine hospitality of DR Ben and his Ant. I think I could spend several days just looking at all the interesting items that decorate their apartment. They live in a very cool neighborhood; we walked around it a bit before showing up there.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2008, 04:57:06 AM »

Before that, DH and I had parted ways: he went to an audio equipment place and I went to one of my favorite shopping haunts, the American Craft Museum. I also went to the American Craft shop and happened to find something I thought would be a nice Bat Mitzvah present--- at least I hope it will.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2008, 04:58:24 AM »

It was so nice to sit in a cozy apartment with the yule log blazing on the screen! And we were very happy that DR Singdaw was up for joining us!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #18 on:** January 26, 2008, 05:00:07 AM »

This morning I will be calling DR Larry, perhaps going up to his n'hood because that's very close to the Bat Mitzvah location. I am wondering is this is a skirt (brrrrrr...) affaird or if I can wear pants. (ahhhhhh....)

Edisaurus · « **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2008, 05:01:50 AM »

I also have to schlep my editing system up to Peter's apartment and load the egg cream footage at some point. And I also have to meet the son of a friend who lives near Larry.

Have fun DR EDISAURUS.

Today is a work day. Oh well.

Richard Tyler: Oh, did they have bowling when you were a girl, Mrs. Williams?

Marjorie Lord: Yes. I was on a team with my good friend Martha Washington.

Amy, glad to see you made it back to the Edison (Edison, Edisaurus, hmmm a connection?). I realized that I forgot to say that you needed the N or R local to get to 49th Street but you're familiar with the subway so I'm sure you did just fine.

We so enjoyed our little get together last night. Anthony is sleeping and the laundry is in the dryer. The pictures are great and all is right with the world.

Ginny · « **Reply #23 on:** January 26, 2008, 05:37:04 AM »

Saturday morning greetings! Here I am at work, ready for my first information waitressing since January 4. It's a shortened day for me, because I'm leaving at 4pm in order to join Richard for a dinner at the University Club in Cincinnati this evening. Prime rib - yum!

Love the festive pictures from last night's gathering at the home of DR Ben and Anthony.

The marching theme/title credit music from VIVA MAX is one of my all-time favorite bits of movie music. Hugo Montenegro is one of the three composers credited on that movie. I wonder if he composed that theme.

I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I should read today's Notes...

Oh... And it seems the handyman has picked this morning to start working on the outside of the building again. So, my alarm clock this morning was the sound of scaffolding being put together right outside my window. $:-\$
