Well, you've read the notes, the notes tied the knot, and now it is time for you to post until the married cows come home.

I spy an elmore - is the dog STILL barking?

Just dropped in to say goodnight.

My noisy neighbor only said one sentence loud today. THEY CLOSED THE ACCOUNT.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

It's not JUST a Sunday or even a Sundae - it's EASTER SUNDAY. Let's get out our gaily-colored Easter eggs and do the Bunny Hop. Let's celebrate Easter as never before and let's celebrate never before as Easter.

I'm feeling quite Eastery myself.

In fact, I think I'll make seventy-three posts in a row whilst playing seventy-six trombones while cooling off from the 110 in the shade.

What am I, doing a monologue?

We had an embolism but she's gone now. We had an elmore but he's gone now. Embolism and Elmore - that's the title of my next novel.

I'm on a roll - specifically a Kaiser role.

There's no stopping me now.

Perhaps I'll recite the story of The Randy Vicar and the Tuning Fork.

bk · « **Reply #14 on:** April 12, 2009, 12:31:06 AM »

Perhaps I won't.

I suppose I should hit the road to dreamland.

There is a very nice review of Illya Darling from Steve Suskin at Playbill, which will hopefully result in a slew of orders.

HAPPY EASTER

Sam · « **Reply #20 on:** April 12, 2009, 02:59:11 AM »

Sunday morning greetings.

It's 2:50AM and I'm still awake.

The building is dead silent.

And so is the traffic outside.

Easter morning greetings! I will be E & T until much later this evening, because we're off to Cincinnati for church and then will have a family gathering here.

Quote

You mean from the Sherman Brothers album I sort of produced? If so, wouldn't it be nice to hear the other half of the orchestration? As most know, I did not mix the album, and the ASS who did couldn't find the second pass of the orchestra and therefore left it off the entire album, i.e. half the orchestration. That and the fact that the ASS used full takes of the singers, usually the first or second take, instead of comping the vocal to make the best take. The album is a travesty.

That's the one. . .
I'm not as fond of the album as a whole, but most of the vocals are quite good.
I'd love to hear a better mixed, better orchestrated version of the whole.
As always, the songs chosen for each singer are more than appropriate.
The album has always struck me as incomplete.

and on that note,

HAPPY EASTER TO ONE AND ALL!

BK,

Your marriage sounds a lot like my 1st marriage.

$:-\$

Interesting and sad notes today. But what is life if it is not interesting and sad sometimes?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 12, 2009, 05:57:45 AM »

I am working today, of course - since I am a heathen. Oh well.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 12, 2009, 05:58:24 AM »

Nice ILLYA review, DR GEORGE, thanks for sharing the link. Of course Mr Suskin is a bit late to the table since my ILLYA review has been up at Amazon for two weeks.

I listened to the TWO FOR THE TEETER TOTTER last night and it is indeed a sublime and lovely score. Mr Previn can certainly write music! I am at a disadvantage because I am NOT familiar with the film, so I cannot match the images to the melodies, but it is lovely.

The main titles start the CD off beautifully. And the next few tracks take you right along. But starting from track 5 to the end of the CD, I was very moved and intrigued.

Yes it is a beautiful work and I am glad I bought it, it will be played many times at home and in the car.

And I might even watch the movie - even though a "kooky" Shirley MacLaine gets on my very last nerve.

BK: (Or anyone who has seen BRAINSTORM on DVD)

I am curious about the transfer of BRAINSTORM.

If I remember correctly the film was mainly filmed in 35mm and the BRAINSTORM sequences were film in 70mm. All I actually do remember that the screen size for the two sequences were different.

Now if this is so, on the DVD is there a difference between the two? Or is formatted for widescreen TV and there is no difference.
