Back from Jerry's Deli and bacon and eggs - whilst there I took more notes for the new book, and decided on how to begin it.

How would go about writing this arrangement?

And do you play the top staff on the top row of keys and the bottom staff on the bottom row of keys.

BTW - Ethel Smith was once married to Ralph Bellamy.

Typically organ scores simply tell you which manual (great, swell, etc.) to play whatever part on. Any manual can employ either/both staves.
Nobody could do it like Ethel Smith! Even as she got older, no one had faster or more accurate fingering!

--or so said Ralph Bellamy

I have had a good day, given my anxiety about "rheumatoid disorders," and I've finished up my Christmas demands. I got to the theatre and left my gifts for the cast, conductor and other friends, caught the bus up to Lincoln Center NYPL for another biography search. On my way home I stopped at the market for a few staples. I am surprised that my final check for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA has not shown up by now.

I also stopped at the concession stand on my way out of the theatre and picked up a FINIAN'S RAINBOW mug. It's quite festive.

I am reading Meredith Willson's book about THE MUSIC MAN recommended here by DR MATTH a few weeks ago when it was ON SALE at Amazon.com! Very funny.

I'm starting it tonight. Looking forward to it.

I began my day's viewing with another episode of THE MENTALIST. This was the one with a parachute jumper who fell to his death. This was one of the easier ones to solve, but it's always a pleasure seeing Patrick work.

Then I watched Monday night's CASTLE rerun. This was the Halloween episode with the death of a "vampire" and his boy friend a "werewolf," one of the more poignant CASTLE episodes. Very enjoyable.

Then I watched today's work project - 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. It took a while to win me over, but by the time Heath Ledger did his song and dance to "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," I was hooked and ended up deeply enjoying the film. I also though David Krumholtz, an actor I'm not always so high on, stole every scene in the early going, so much so that I kept wishing he were the star at first instead of a supporting character.

Matt H. · « **Reply #132 on:** December 23, 2009, 01:09:01 PM »

Listened to about 45-50 minutes of the commentary done by the two writers and four of the actors 10 years after the filming. Of course, they can't help going back to talk about Heath Ledger though they also share lots of stories about their activities during the making of the movie. Not a lot about making the movie itself, however.

Matt H. · « **Reply #133 on:** December 23, 2009, 01:10:38 PM »

Since the gag reel was used over the closing credits of the movie, the only bonus feature apart from the commentary was a 35-minute making-of featurette. It mixed observations by the writers and the director filmed recently mixed in with on-set interviews done 10 years ago. They also show some deleted scenes during this featurette rather than having them as a separate section.

I had time to skim through today's ATWT and OLTL. Nothing of importance on either show. Nothing of interest in the ATWT previews either.

My 5 for $55 Warner Archive delivery came late this afternoon. I may put one of these on tonight or find something else to watch, perhaps one of my Blu-ray CHristmas presents. I haven't decided yet.

So DR JMK - each keyboard is called a manual?

I have loved this book since I found it in my hometown library in 1962 or so. In 1991 or so, when I was back visiting family, I checked the library and found the book still on the shelf; it had not been checked out since 1964! So, i had a friend of mine check it out for the first time in nearly 30 years, send it to me, and declare it lost. I paid the library for the book and I'm very happy to have it.

Congrats to all. Vibes to all. Happy Birthday to all. We're a little obesessed with the upcoming storm. I baked two kinds of cookies today. Waiting for DR Samantha to stop over. she doesn't realize how ba the weather is going to get. They are now saying that with the snow on the ground already and the additional snow expected, there will be 2-3 feet on the ground and drifts could be as high as the roofs of some houses. We have been waiting for my neighbors kids to make it here from Davenport and Duluth. They both just arrived a little while ago. Susan had to drive 20 mph the last 30 miles, but they are here and safe. We are relieved.

A poster on AllThatChat who saw the new Sherlock Holmes film with Robert Downey Jr says it's not Sherlock Holmes and maybe "Indiana Holmes" would have been a better title.

I took some before pictures a little while ago. There is about 10 inches of snow on the ground before the storm. I"ll post photos as the snow and ice pile up

Seeing the TV spots also gave me that impression. I'm sure I'll eventually see it, but I won't go to the theater for it. Paycable would seem to be where I will catch up to it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #144 on:** December 23, 2009, 01:45:15 PM »

I guess I need to hop off and get some writing done. Then I can head down and have the evening to myself for fun, leisure viewing.
