I then went to the tape transfer place. I was there longer than I cared to be, and if I'm going to do this one project, which I really want to do, it's going to be a bit of a nightmare - the quarter-inch tape that has all the mixed music on it, and which would be the easiest to use, unfortunately is mono, 7 1/2ips, and distorted throughout. So, we have to transfer all the circled takes from seven reels of half-inch tape, but these include a lot of overdubs that are on different tapes (everything was click-tracked, but we don't have the bloody click) - so it's all going into pro-tools and I'll have that quarter-inch as a guide as to how it all gets put together. Hopefully everything we need is on the half-inch tapes - hard to know because the logs are very VERY confusing. Great score, though. Happily, one of the other two scores that would be paired with it had an album master prepared at the time of the film's release, but the album never came out - that one is in perfect shape and easy/breezy. I have to pick up the tapes for the other title - there are five of them, so I don't know what the story on that will be.

The other tapes were very straightforward and easy. Today's batch would be a total of three releases, one release having three scores.

For the couple of BIG BROTHER fans here i'm curious:

Who do you think each player would take to F2?

And who do you want to win in the various combos?

.
.
.

It gave me so much pleasure when jordan beat natalie in part 2 of hoh last thursday. I cannot stand the latter. And really do not want to see her in the F2.

Although it could be good maybe if jordan takes her and wins.

But i think the most pleasure i would get is if kevin won part 3 of hoh and took jordan and sent gnat packing. I get the feeling that that is what the Diary Room wants and what a lot of the fans probably want.

In this scenario i would be okay with kevin winning. But if takes nat i will be very mad and don't want either of them to win.

If it is jordan/nat i want jordan. Jordan/kevin i want jordan but if he wins and takes her then i am fine with him winning (he would be more deserving). If it is kevin/nat i will want kev but only because i dislike nat.

Really? Hate to bury it on page four, but okay, here it is - we're very excited about this one - and given the number that one online dealer is taking, I can't imagine it won't sell out quickly. As always, it's $19.98 plus 3.75 shipping paid to kritzerland at adelphia dot net via paypal.

We'll see how it goes - it's a VERY expensive release as it is (three scores on one or two CDs is not cheap), and the extra expense of transferring all these tapes is huge, and then there's the work of putting it all together. But if it can be done, it will be, for me, the release of the year.

DR Elmore i'm glad DR George was able to record Guiding Light for you. If i had read it before the show aired here (3pm) i could have done it too.

It was a really nostalgic episode with some former residents returning. And the wedding!

I haven't thought the show was that good for the last while. But some of the episodes recently have been tear-jerkers. Friday will be really sad.

DR MattH, re: the 2nd episode of GLEE.

I'm not sure i would say i liked the 2nd show as much as the 1st. I thought the beginning of episode 2 was sort of slow. But i thought the second half was really good. And i liked that part as much as the pilot.

It is interesting to me how many people are watching it. I would not have thought it would appeal to so many different types of people. My brother-in-law's best friend who loves reality shows loves it and told my b-i-l to watch it. And my parents even watch it!

Bruce I had a similar experience with my first crown. Be glad the 2nd shot worked as nothing helped me. I had the crown replaced several times, and the glue updated with the latest sensitive reducing glue available and I still have pain when I bite down on something. I'm grateful the pain isn't constant anymore, only took about 10 years for that to happen.

Oh my I just won the LP Soundtrack to Summer Love - and I am bidding on the video. It is the sequel to ROCK ROCK ROCK starring Mr John Saxon and Jimmy Daley, rock band singer extraordinaire. He and his family live in what became the Cleaver house - later the Marcus Welby house - but started life as Rock Hudson's house in Never Say Goodbye....

DR Jennifer,

I am basicall in agreement with you re: Big Brother. I don't want Natalie to win. Period.

I would love to see Kevin boot Nat right out the door.

I lean towards wanting Jordan to win, not that I thought she was a great player or anything, it is just that she is such a sweetheart, and I know she desperately needs the money. But if Kevin wins, that is good too.

Mark Forest is my favorite of the sons of Hercules aka Maciste. He is a Brooklyn born opera singer/body builder with a nice face.

He lives in Arleta California today where he teaches opera.

And in another ten years he will be perfect for M. Barnum.

He's got to be 70 now! Maybe in another 10 years he'll be willing to date DR MBarnum who can bring him protein and flowers to his nursing home.

DR MBARNUM interviewed Mr Forest for an article in FilmFax magazine, I think it was. He had many interesting stories. If I am correct - his speaking voice was NEVER used in his EYE-talian Speck-takulures.

RE: the recording you were going to make tonight for DR Dakota.

Apparently for those on the West Coast the show (guiding light) is being broadcast tonight.

For those in Arizona it said 2:13am. But i'm not sure what it would be for your area.
