Rita Gam

For some reason, although I can find no validation, I thought Miss Gam had died. She was Robert Kimball's neighbor on 58th Street, and she was a very lovely lady. I liked her. I liked her book, too; it had a lot of good interviews.

DR elmore - I'm trying to remember if they ever did a "correction" of the score and parts and piano/vocal score to GUYS & DOLLS. The two "major" times I've worked on the show, I was always surprised at the inconsistencies from one source to the other.

-And I still don't think that short duet between Sarah and Adelaide in the second act has ever been fixed. The version in the P/V is practically bi-tonal AND pan-tonal at the same time.

When Gabe was very small, he put in a Star Wars CD-ROM on top of a Disney's Magic Artist CD-ROM, which had Mickey Mouse on it, because he thought that would make Mickey have a light sabre.  Hilarity ensued (after my head exploded because the drive was jammed).

I got a response from the French online store - which I translated into English via google.  It said they'd tried to debit my cc and it hadn't gone through - several times - and they cancelled the order.  Nice of them to alert me.  I just placed the order from amazon.fr - same cc, went through fine.  I'm going to go check now to see what the deal is on the other French site - maybe I never updated the cc info with a new expiration date, but I find that doubtful.

Nope, all the info is current, and I've ordered from that site in the last four months without a problem.  And since that cc is linked to a bank account, there is always money there.

This is why I'm now editing the new score.

I think Jo Loesser's next project for me is GUYS AND DOLLS. She mentioned it when we were talking about MHF.

Perhaps if I stopped shopping at Williams-Sonoma, there would always be money in my bank account, too.   ;)

I remember how frustrated Bernstein was in the documentary about his recording of West Side Story at what a shambles the pit parts were in.

and perhaps if DR MBarnum stopped buying all of his DVDs at the Piggly-Wiggly and BollywoodOnDemand and joined Netflx, he could afford to visit Manhattan more and terrorize Indian and Pakastani taxi drivers and local gyms.

And retirement homes.

I have to walk to the library now. I'm still finding more info on the original scene designers and costume designer for BABES IN TOYLAND.

Very distressed to read this morning that Fox will be moving BONES to Thursday night at 8 in January once AMERICAN IDOL comes back on the air. HOUSE will move to Mondays at 8.

Argh! :(

I hope the move will improve the show.  We don't care for the changes this season.

Last night we went to watch LIFE & found it had accidentally been deleted. :(

Miss Rita Gam was in a movie with Miss Allison Hayes titled SIGN OF THE PAGAN.

She is alive and well and living on W 58th ST in Manhattan. I believe she turned 80 this year.

Maybe I should interview her.

Repeating my post from last night:

What is everyone getting at the DDD sale?  MattH, I'd especially love a list from you of "big" releases over the past few months--I always forget what stuff has come out.

Good morning all.

Well, DFIL should be coming home today.  This morning he's scheduled for his bone marrow biopsy to figure out what's going on, and then hopefully it'll just be a mater of prescribing him the right drugs.

Toby has his two month check up today, which means I get to watch them use my son as a pin cushion as he gets his first round of immunizations.  Hard to guess who will cry more.

I have a busy day ahead.  Meeting one friend for lunch at noon, Toby's appointment at 3, and another friend for dinner.  I might not be around much today as a result.

I've got a couple of DVDs to watch this weekend, both of which I have to review:

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY
QUO VADIS

Now, isn't that a great double feature?

I also have to finish proof-reading my book, so that it can be sent off to the printers.

You mean we have three reviewers on this site (not including BK?).   I reviewed QV a few weeks ago and just did the Blu-ray of HBII a couple of days ago.

Maybe we should form a club?

I remember SIGN OF THE PAGAN.  I saw it 1st run at the (long gone) Orpheum Theater in Seattle.  Jack Palance played Attila the Hun and, I think, Rita Game played his sister.
