THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were short because there is a time for short notes and this was the time, and now it is time for you to post until the short cows come home.

4:46PST, I'm awake, pondering life and it's little annoyances that are keeping me awake, and I don't see going back to bed as an option because I'll just have to be awake in an hour anyway.

I saw Nine last night and liked it. It never reaches the beauty and magic of the original stage production and I don't like the Kate Hudson number (or her particularly) at all but I thought Marion Cotillard was WONDERFUL!!! OMG is that woman beautiful. I have to see La Vie en Rose now. I'm surprised and pleased that I enjoyed it (Nine, that is).

I keep confusing Marion Cotillard  with Audrey Tautou.

Marion is the one with the BIG bump in the middle of her forehead.

Snow is starting early today.....but we expect 3-6 inches of the stuff by Thursday evening.  It may be here NOW!

I am off to WalMart to buy bird feed for outdoors and some squirrel corn as well.  Can't have the livestock suffer.

I will watch for that distinction, DR JRand.  Though with today's CGI, they could just as well put a bump into the middle of Audrey Tautou forehead.

Good morning, all! I'm back to my Herbert-Kern life today and around 11 am I will head to the NYPL for another round of biographcal sleuthing. I just got an email that tomorow's McGlinnventory is off, so I will have a morning at Toyland to return some books and papers and dig up a few more.

Yesterday, I picked up quite a nice little bundle of things for myself, including the full orchestra score to Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride." All of the printed matter cannot be sent to the Library of Congress since they already have it in their collection through copyright placement, so all printed scores, books, magazines, etc. will be sold or, in some cases, taken by the heirs. I have to be selective because there's much of the printed composer editions I would like to lay claim to, but I have no room for something like the complete New Mozart Edition! I am thinking that I will take the complete Walton Edition and the never-completed Doblinger Edition of Johann Strauss, Jr. I 'm also eyeing the Russian editions of the full scores for the three Tchaikovsky ballets, but this is a mere drop in the bucket to the enormity of this inventory.

I've been reading every night a new tome, ROBERT ALTMAN, THE ORAL BIOGRAPHY, which i'm enjoying very much. Now I want to see the films I missed in their first release.

Two people who I would never confuse with each other are Valerie Harper and Tallulah Bankhead, which is why I was so taken aback when I first heard about LOOPED, which is about to open on B'way.  DR Jose says he saw it in a workshop and that Harper does nicely in the role (of which I'm glad since I've always liked her.)  But I have to wonder what led to this casting...

Good morning.  I have to go shovel snow so I can get to work so I can come home and shovel snow.  Ok, I like the stuff and I like winter, but this is getting ridiculous.

No real snow in our forecast.  I can live with that for now...

DR Elmore, how is the horse whip notated in "Sleigh Ride"?

DR Dan(theMan), the whip is notated as a regular percussion instrument. It's also used in the percussion variation of Benjamin Britten's wonderful "Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra" aka "Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Henry Purcell," which is a wonderful piece of light music I recommend to everyone. My first recording of the piece was Bernstein's recording and the narration was by one of the brothers of my friend Ted Chapin.

I forgot: the whip is also heard in the very first bar of Ravel's great piano concerto in G-major.
