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

Welcome six GUESTS.

Ben · « **Reply #3 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:51:10 AM »

Well, I'm back at the office. I would rather be home but I have a family to feed and house.

Ben · « **Reply #4 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:52:04 AM »

Jane, I think you're right about the benign thing. He probably told me at first glance they looked OK but he said I would be getting the final results in the mail in a week to 10 days.

Ben · « **Reply #5 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:52:20 AM »

Larry was here but now he's gone. I hope he's feeling better.

Ben · « **Reply #6 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:52:28 AM »

Good morning, Laura

Ben · « **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:52:46 AM »

I have much work to catch up on after being out for two days.

Ben · « **Reply #8 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:53:11 AM »

I see I will be doing some work at home this weekend.

Ben · « **Reply #9 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:53:29 AM »

But I would rather do that than stay late or not finish

Ben · « **Reply #10 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:53:39 AM »

And on that note, goodbye for now.

Good morning, all! If all the gunk that clogging up the middle of my head would go away, I would be ecstatic. Otherwise, I feel pretty good today. This morning I have to return to the McGlinnventory. Will it ever end?

I smiled broadly at JMK's post about Bill Charlap; his mother Sandy Stewart was a lovely lady; I met her around 1983 working with Ben Bagley on something, maybe one of the Kern Revisited albums. I liked her very much.

I don't know if they're still married but Bill's fiancee Michelle played violin on my first recordings with BK and Varese Sarabande, ANYWHERE I WANDER and UNSUNG SONDHEIM, but she was responsible for problems for BK with the union later and I haven't seen her since.

bk, I didn't see your name in there at all! And since I don't have tivo...

I put in "Bruce Kimmel and HHW" into the credits but didn't think it had made it since it went on for 4 months after I left. (Over a month just to online!) But you guys were the only personal thanks I did because I felt like there were so many people on this board who shared music or information with me that they had made a contribution to the film, more than many of the people who ARE in the credits!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #13 on:** November 05, 2009, 04:31:45 AM »

And I think the Bill Charlap thing at the end was a little weird...another of the director's whims. C.E. was supposed to get a big name to narrate it but no big names wanted the task of reading the lame narration so the director got his buddy Bill to do it. The problem with getting something for free, though, is that when the director supervises the vo session and doesn't allow the editors to be there, then if he records a very early version of the script instead of the one that was doctored (all the embarrassing stuff taken out) and sent to him and didn't even REALIZE it, it's hard to ask someone to come back in for free to correct your screw-up.

Ooohhh...my tummy feels like I drank too much wine. I wonder how DR Jose's feels?

TOD: IMITATION OF LIFE (it never struck me until I was typing in what a weird title this is).

Some of the classic books that have been made into films over and over again come to mind, like DAVID COPPERFIELD (the TNT version) LITTLE WOMEN (Winona Ryder's version) ALICE IN WONDERLAND (the 70's version) and Kenneth Branagh's HAMLET.

DR edisaurus, great choices! I prefer the BBC remake of DAVID COPPERFIELD with Maggie Smith and Daniel Radcliffe, and the irreverent Disney version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. I do think Winona Ryder's LITTLE WOMEN is the best' I want to strangle Spring Byington's Marmie in the Hepburn version!

E&T DR Rodzinski just gave me a lovely mention in a plug for Brent Barrett's album in the new Playbill online and that resulted in his getting an email from a reporter who interviewed me a century ago for The Middletown Journal when it was still a newspaper. He wanted Rodzinski to forward an email to me. He did. I emailed said reporter back. I may try to lure him to HHW,

Good Morning!

TOD: I am usually quite prepared to hate remakes, but there have been a number of good ones. Of course, nothing specifically comes to mind at this particular moment.

More lovely Sherlock nature photos! thanks, DR JANE.

I guess I never got the point of view of the Mercer documentary except...."and then he wrote.....".....and it wasn't even in much of a chronological order. I liked the old TV variety show clips....but many of them were too short.

Nice to hear Dinah Shore when she could really sing.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And, well, I'm up.

My father is having his cataract surgery this morning....an outpatient procedure.....so hopefully he will be able to see better by this afternoon.

My tummy - and my head - feel fine, DR edisaurus. If anything, I still feel a little full from the meal I had last night. Even though we did have three shots of vodka - courtesy of Aran - they were "small shots". He never really filled the glasses all the way up. -And we had plenty of food in our stomachs to help balance it all out too.

Well, i am now reconnected with my reporter friend, who now lives in San Antonio, and has this site:
http://www.savorsa.com/

I've asked him to check out HHW, which it turns out he has in the past - that's one guest now identified - and perhaps he will join us at some point.

Time for the McGlinnventory. When I get back, I have some MOST HAPPY FELLA notes to type up.
