I'm off to take the wonderdog to the vet. Perhaps td, who seems to have pom-pom and tray experience, can take over cheerleading duties for me while I'm gone.

Any missing kitty news? I can't stand the thought of a missing pet. If it was one of my babies, I'd freak.

I think my four O'clocks are starting to grow!

I looked at my garden before I got into the van and thought I saw little green specks. Yay!

CD: Now I've got on a compilation of disco and dance "covers" of show tunes, such as Gordon Grody's Ballad of Sweeney Todd, Gloria Gaynor's I Am What I Am and Debbie Gravite's Turkey Lurkey Time as recorded by our own e & t BK.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #155 on:** April 02, 2004, 03:42:49 PM »

td, I haven't play the CD yet, so I don't know how many have the verse. and I'm certainly not going to listen to them all in one sitting.

Tomovoz...And did you miss the media when you were free of it? When travelling without computers I find out howlittle I miss them. Same with TV. Though I've never done total media free, I sometimes think it might be a blessing (I would have to have music though).

My fave Rozsa is "Thief of Bagdad"; when will we get a CD release of that great score?

Varese Sarabande did a CD of that score, plus The Jungle Book in the mid-eighties. Elmer Bernstein did a terrific re-recording LP that has yet to make it onto CD, and is actually better.

Sometimes, getting the heck away from the computer, the teevee and anything that even looks like a cathode ray tube is a balm to the soul.

Every once in a while, my inner Luddite really comes to the surface....

Barnes and Noble just posted my review of Kritzer Time.

Need to add some cd to my weekend listening list. Anne Runolfsson, Craig Rubano, Helen Reddy and Lisa Richard's Virgin Tracks

Michael · « **Reply #160 on:** April 02, 2004, 04:22:20 PM »

And I meant to say that Bruce Kimmel is one of Lisa Richard's Virgin Tracks.

Media Free. I did miss the contact with some friends as it is the only contact we have.
I forgot to take tapes for the car and the radio was there but Country news broadcasts about the price of wool bales were not that interesting. The silence was good as was the thinking time.

Panni · « **Reply #163 on:** April 02, 2004, 05:11:44 PM »

I'm back. My pom-poms are starting to wilt after shaking them around all day, so, Dear Readers, why not just post until the heifer's return to Capistrano.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack! My computer is like a whole new machine! So fast, so easy, everything working perfectly. Hoo and ray. Now I have to catch up on yesterday's later posts and all of today's. I'll be back shortly. I MISSED YOU ALL!

bk · « **Reply #165 on:** April 02, 2004, 06:05:30 PM »

Lovely postings all! You've done yourselves proud. I can't tell you what a difference there is in this computer. Everything looks brighter and better and is so smooth. I'll have complete details in tomorrow's notes about what the actual problems were.

And, dearest BK, we missed you today as well! Welcome back. I hope you're going to hire a masseur to put DR Panni back together after all her fierce gymnastics.

Roger also sent me Sam's Jukebox, a compliation of 22 different versions of AS TIME GOES BY. The artists: Dooley Wilson, Billie Holiday, Louis Prima, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Lee wiley, The flamingos, Shirley Bassey, Karaoke version, Bing Crosby, Julie London , Vic Damone, Spike Jones, Jamey Aebersold, Chet Baker, The Duprees. Carly Simon, Frank sinatra, Rosie Clooney, Babs Streisand, Larry Adler, Steve Goodman.

That would make the perfect birthday (April 21st) gift for Keith. Any chance I could get one of those?

DR Panni did a bang-up job of keeping the home fries burning; I merely served the home fires whilst shaking my pom-poms and balancing my tray.

Yep I will second and third it. DR Panni did a good job.

That she did.

Tonight we are going to watch the first half of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.

Goodnight.

Oh, and Ron - that's what makes horse racing. Diane just doesn't do it for me, and not because it's not Ben-Hur or King of Kings or whatever. It just doesn't get to me like other Rozsa scores. Not all Rozsa is top-drawer in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo) - I've found a few of the FSM releases to be a bore. The one that REALLY did it for me and is one of his best, I think, is Moonfleet. THAT'S a score that gets to me.

My favorite Rozsa's tend not to be the historical things at all, but are things like Double Indemnity and his other noirs, and The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes and Providence (a masterpiece). Of the biblical scores, King of Kings is my fave.

Matt H. · « **Reply #173 on:** April 02, 2004, 08:08:51 PM »

There isn't much Rozsa that I don't love.

Well, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to get to LOST IN TRANSLATION during this calendar year. After I finished THE NUN'S STORY, I got curious about IN WHICH WE SERVE. I'm reading Noel Coward's diaries now, and got right past the point where the film won the NY Film Critics Best Film prize. I've had it on laserdisc forever but had never gotten around to watching it until tonight. Involving to be sure, but a smaller scale CAVALCADE on a naval ship was really all it was. I'm sure for people at the time of its release, it was heartbreaking and beautiful.

Der Brucer and I are both sorry for being e & t today. He's been busy working, I've been interviewing for jobs, we've together been hithering and thithering and yon-ing until we started yawning.

DVD Player: Brother Bear, and a whole collection of Muppet things that were a bargain at WalMart. Muppet Movie, Great Muppet Caper, Muppets Take Manhattan, and twelve eps of The Muppet Show on four CDs. We had to go back to get copies for the grandlads!

Nothing on the CD player just now, because we've been listening to a bunch of LPs! Yes, the turntable is hooked up, and we've been listening to some records by Jimmy Webb lately. Songs like "Asleep on the Wind" and "The Highwayman." Love his stuff!

I'm too am glad bk is back! Thanks to everyone who had nice things to say about my cheerleading today. I never did it in high school, so it was nice to get a chance a few short ~~years~~ decades later.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #176 on:** April 02, 2004, 08:45:58 PM »

Glad to have you back, BK! You should know by now that you owe DR Panni a dinner at her favorite eatery for her display of service beyond the call of duty (or was it duty beyond the call of service?)

Congrats on finally exorcizing your PC demons. It's always great to sit down in front of a freshly loaded machine--like driving a new car.

In all the frenzy and confusion and folderol of the day, I forgot about my own media report:

CD (at home) David Byrne's Rei Momo

On the radio right now: Echoes

Tonight I watched The Major and the Minor on TCM. There was a strange "technical difficulty" I've never seen occur before: at various parts of the movie, the video froze while the soundtrack continued. Most of times that this happened it was only about 30 seconds or so in length, though the longest was close to three to four minutes. It was becoming very irritating. I wanted to ask for my money back, but of course, there was no one to ask.

BK...even non-top-drawer Rozsa is usually far better than most for me...But I think my 3 fav Rozsa might be 3 you mentioned...Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, Providence, and Moonfleet. I also like the concert pieces that both Private Life and Providence are based on. But he is my favourite, favourite composer...bar none. It's that Gypsy in his soul that really knows how to make a violin cry, I think. I think I mentioned in my unseemly interview that my single best day in Hollywood was attending his memorial service. Wonderful tributes; exquisite music.

By the by, I will not be attending the Ray Court show tomorrow (if it is tomorrow). I'm behind in my work and, if I have to miss one, this is it.
