Well, you've read the notes, the notes needed a magic button, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - if they ever do come home it will HAVE to be because of a magic button.

This morning I will have the joy of trying to convince the branch manager of the main branch of my credit union that a check that DRLaura deposited for me at a shared branch near her as opposed to the main branch downtown (which will actually accept deposits since not all do). There are very few real branches of my credit union left and most of them not even in the city. If they don't give me a break, I'm up a creek. Despite the fact that I have been with this institution for about 21 or 22 years, perhaps it is time to go to a real bank. Do they make real banks anymore? Does anyone still wear a hat?

$:-\$ I need to see a neurolgist, get an EEG and some blood work done and find out what is going on with my body and so-called brain (and find out what my limitations are)--- none of which I can do currently. Lfe is good!

Good morning, all! I have a trek to Toyland first thing this morning, and then a bit of work here: Patrick Cassidy and the LyricStage job all collide at the same time, so those are my priorities after I get some Toyland work out of the way.

Since I am currently piano-less, I have a question for you musical DRs out there: the vamp to George Benson's "On Broadway" in E-flat is? dotted quarter E-flat, tied eight D-flat to a quarter, quarter rest?

I watched PWOJECT WUNWAY last night and almost fell out of my chair when Chris March took Tim gunn to his friend Larry's apartment and it was my friend Larry Vrba's place. I intrpduced him to our DR Jose at the December NYCGMC concert. Larry does stage jewelry; he worked on the jewelry for the original production of FOLLIES. Since they had four designersl last year, I thought this year's decision was rather unfair

I have a QUESTION re: last week's LOST

SPOILER SPACE

SPOILER SPACE

QUESTION RE: last week's

LOST

In my local paper there are comments about tonight's show. But it also sort of mentions some things we've learned from the last weeks. And something they wrote as my mind completely at a loss.
So i was just wondering if this blurb makes sense to anyone here.

They wrote, " Last week dropped an even more compelling clue and a potentially game-changing play: it's possible that at least one of the post-crash survivors sneaked off the island without anyone in the outside world knowing it. The Oceanic Six in other words aren't necessarily limited to just six survivors."

DR RonP, re: your comments yesterday that you are only watching Big Brother on tv and not reading about the feeds.

The reason i asked is because as usual they are editing people totally differently from how they act.

I am not spending much time reading about the feeds. But i find hamsterwatch.com a must. He is so witty. I just love it. I also read the televisionwithoutpity live feed discussion thread. There are only a few pages of posts a day. So it only takes a few minutes.

The weirdest musical I can recall seeing was a church service passing itself off as a musical called The River. Not a coherent image in the entire evening. Here's the Times' description:

Quote

''The River'' is a collage of rock, rap and pop gospel, extolling water in spiritual and metaphorical terms. In Peter Link's lyrics water falls, tumbles, rains and rushes in streams, rivers and oceans. By the end of the show, one has been inundated by images of liquidity.

There is, of course, a limit to the number of water songs one can listen to in a single show (the same thing could be said about cat songs). Perhaps in recognition of that fact, in the second act, Mr. Link tries to extend the range of his musical. The cast escorts us to ''the mire,'' meaning the earth - urban division -where we meet street people wasting their lives in various nonproductive ways. Here and elsewhere, Mr. Link is paralleling the cycle of water and the life cycle of man.

Yes, to my ears. But I think it's actually a two-bar vamp...

The second half being: quarter E-flat, eighth D-flat, quarter D-flat, dotted quarter rest.

I live in Indiana, MOST theatrical presentations around here leave my mouth agape.

General Mills could be a woman....like Katherine Hepburn in that Bob Hope movie The Iron Petticoat.

Weren't they developing a stage musical version of that as a vehicle for Margaret Thatcher?

As for the Topic of the Day...

Well, I did see Lestat in San Francisco during it's closing week there... However, the first day of rehearsal read-thru of that show, well...

Otherwise... I know I've seen some strange stuff, but nothing in particular is coming to my mind right now. Well, maybe that production of Macbeth that cast a woman as Banquo.

Oh... maybe Shogun: The Musical?

singdaw · « **Reply #28 on:** February 28, 2008, 06:23:41 AM »

TOD:

Roza, with Georgia Brown.

After the seance production number, my jaw was on the ground. A truly "what were they thinking?" moment.

That show also contains one of my favorite lines from a musical libretto:
Ah...You do VOODOO, do you?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #29 on:** February 28, 2008, 06:27:24 AM »

DR elmore - The vamp is essentially E-flat to D-flat, with the basic rhythm being dotted-quarter -> eighth tied to a quarter (or even a half note). And, as DR singdaw noted earlier, it's a two-bar vamp. However, in the George Benson version of the sheet music, the E-flat it retained as a pedal tone under the second half of the measure (the D-flat chord) -

-In any case, it's all about the bass line to me.

You can sort of see it here in this preview frame from Solero:

http://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=116062

If you go to iTunes, you can bring up a couple of different versions of the song and preview the clips.

Or I could drop off a copy of my Smokey Joe's Cafe piano/conductor score on my way down to Binder in an hour if you'd like.
