Good morning. It is way too early to be up.

It's forty minutes later, and it still seems too early to be up.

Lots of tax-office stuff, as usual on a tax-season Saturday, but I am determined to get to see FINIAN'S RAINBOW tonight as scheduled. If it weren't a limited run, I'd just wait until after tax season, but it's this weekend or never for seeing that.

So what did you think of the Oscar winning performance in Vicky Christina Barthelona?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 28, 2009, 05:11:15 AM »

Great news about the SEESAW release, which I will buy....since so many people hear enjoy it...I cannot a imagine that I will not.

Today is of course a work day.

DR JOSE I hope you are feeling better today. DR BEN is in Wisconsin!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #7 on:** March 28, 2009, 05:39:13 AM »

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And, yes, DR JRand, I am feeling better. Thank you.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #8 on:** March 28, 2009, 05:40:23 AM »

Good to see that DR Ben made it safe and sound to Wisconsin.

Hi, Ant!!

Good TOD

Something i will have to go back and look it over but I think and a lot of people will agree (Even though I wasn't there) that 1939 was a very good year

I have seen the following over the years

Gone With The Wind
The Wizard of Oz
Goodbye Mr. Chips
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
Wuthering Heights
Ninotchka
Stagecoach
Dark Victory
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Young Mr. Lincoln
The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Women
Destry Rides Again

and others that I know are good but I have never seen
Intermezzo: A Love Story
Of Mice and Men
Only Angels Have Wings
The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex

I'm off to work too day. It's a choreography brush-up rehearsal. All day. In other words, I should be able to check in here and post throughout the day.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2009, 05:56:43 AM »

OK...

Laters...

Michael · « **Reply #13 on:** March 28, 2009, 06:11:11 AM »

But I think I will have to go with 1964. This was the first year that I was taken to a movie theater to see a movie which was Mary Poppins and over the years I have seen many of the other films that came out in 1964

Mary Poppins
My Fair Lady
The Pink Panther
The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
Zorba the Greek
Becket
Night of the Inguana
Topkapi
The Unsinkable Molly Brown
Dr. Strangelove
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger (I think this came out the same year)
Fail Safe

and
The Pumpkin Eater (I have never seen this)
Seance on a Wet Afternoon (I think I have seen this)

Good morning, DRs.

I have dropped off Zach for his quarterly grooming. That undercoat gets so thick, and he starts to look very shaggy by the time his next appointment rolls around.

Tonight, the synagogue where my DH plays is hosting a cabaret night featuring Jonathan Schwartz, who still carries the banner for American Standards with his weekend radio shows on WNYC and XM Satellite. He is also the son of composer Arthur Schwartz. The Steinway piano for this evening's festivities is from our very own living room - it was picked up yesterday morning and shall be returned to us next week.

Saturday morning greetings! I am waiting for a call from AppleCare, which I scheduled last night, for help transferring my iTunes library to my new computer. Last night I thought I also needed help moving my Safari bookmarks and my email address book, but figured that out myself using a flash drive.

God morning, all! I slept 11 hours last night, and I'm feeling ready to kick ass. At noon, I'm meeting a bunch from the Castrecl for lunch on 50th and Broadway (I think that's right; I'll check before I walk down) and then tonight I'm seeing Encores! production of FINIAN'S RAINBOW which I look forward to enormously; the reviews this morning were glowing, and I sat in tears through the orchestra reading because the score is so glorious.

Beyond that, I'm tidying the mess left from 6 days of total work and no housekeeping, and tomorrow morning I'll mop and do laundry. I think after luncheon, I'll run down to Toyland for some vocal score edits. Tomorrow, besides th laundry, I've got a lot of rewrites on my main report to accomplish.

BK, not all the VICKI CRISTINA BARCELONA reviews were raves; the NEW YORK magazine review disliked the movie and had your complaint: twenty-somethings talking like 70 year-old men. I can still remember the early 1980s when actors in the Drama Book Shop spoke reverentially about auditions for "Woody's new project." Oy!

And I just booked the Hotel Rouge for my 3-day trek to the Orchestration Symposium in DC at the Library of Congress. Hooray! I may possibly be on a panel but nothing's settled yet.

I suppose I'm up - again very early. But really, sixteen posts?

bk · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:33:15 AM »

I suppose there's a danger in my touting Seesaw so much, but I do love it so - others may not.

bk · « **Reply #19 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:34:56 AM »

Jrand, I thought Penelope Cruz was okay, but I think I saw performances that I liked better, although I can't remember what they were. And I really did not like the actor who played the husband of Rebecca Hall - I liked her okay and Scarlett's character was just too annoying for me to like her much.

Druxy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:36:59 AM »

Favorite year for movies?

1939, of course.

Laura · « **Reply #21 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:37:13 AM »

I have a very long day today with lots of things to do; I suppose I should get started.

Laura · « **Reply #22 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:37:42 AM »

I want coffee. Or a diet coke. Both of which I gave up for Lent.

Druxy · « **Reply #23 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:38:01 AM »

BTW: I liked VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA.

bk · « **Reply #24 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:48:48 AM »

Of course you did.

bk · « **Reply #25 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:49:32 AM »

Looks like it will be another summer-like day.

bk · « **Reply #26 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:50:30 AM »

The transfers in the Warner Archive program are getting a bit of a lambasting - can't contribute yay or nay since mine haven't arrived even though my order has said "shipped" since last Tuesday.

bk · « **Reply #27 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:51:22 AM »

Haven't heard a peep from my editor about today - so I hope he doesn't think that he'll write me at nine and say be there at ten. I told him he had to give me warning and that it had to be early.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #28 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:54:03 AM »

Greetings from dance rehearsal...

DR DAW - Is Jonathan Schwartz singing? Playing?
