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

Hahaha......DR MATTH mentioned IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER which I also watched yesterday on TCM....I think it's part of an MGM musical box set that I own....

Anyway.....later on in the day (since it was Cyd Charisse's birthday) we had TWO WEEKS IN ANOTHER TOWN....and I noticed for the first time, that as Leslie Uggams (hukka the bejeepers) is making her film debut as a chanteuse, she is wearing Delores Gray's orange/red gown from her "Thanks but No Thanks" number from FAIR WEATHER.....the same dress....altered no doubt in some areas....and the fur piece around the hips may be have been removed, Leslie was sitting down, so by the time I really noticed it, they were shooting her in a medium shot....

Congrats to Kritzerland on the selling out of the new CD!

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING!

It's a great Kipling story as well....I don't think it's an entire novel....perhaps a LONG short story.

Good morning, all! I slept late and now I'm listening to pop songs of the 1940s; I'm on a panel for an audience talk-back after YANK! tonight at the York, and I need to brush up on my WW 2 songs. When I was growing up in the 1950s, all my mother and dad sang were esoteric 30s and 40s songs, especially the nonsensical ones like "Three Little Fishes" and "Mairzy Doats." I hope it goes well tonight.

I have some work today on BABES IN TOYLAND, reconciling all comments on "Evaline McCook," and I have a bit of THE WIZARD OF OZ to proof. I'm waiting to hear from Kevin Spirtas about handing over this bass part and I need a trip to NYPL as well.

Tuesday morning greetings! It's a gaw-jus (as DR PennyO would day) day here in SW Ohio and I'm going to take my mother out to do some errands. This will be my first driving since my right eye exploded, so wish me luck.

"I had an interesting call from a producer in NY who will be doing sort of an off-Broadway version of Encores for off-B'way musicals. First up is Promenade. He wanted to know about recording the series, so I gave him some information and he asked me if he could use Kritzerland's name in his press release and I said sure - no harm, really."

Bruce - this immediately reminded me of something that I remembered being publicly announced a couple years ago, but then I hadn't heard any more about it.

I looked up my notes from the time and found this -- does this sound like the same project / people? What made me think of it was your reference to Promenade.

NYTW Plans to Produce Off-Broadway Musical Revival Concert Series

James C. Nicola, artistic director of the New York Theater Workshop, has announced plans to present a series of concerts of previously produced Off-Broadway musicals.

Similar to the City Center Encores! series — which offers great American musicals in concert form — the plan is to produce three shows per season, starting next fall, in low-tech (no set) concert versions.

"We could go for decades and never run out of interesting things, particularly if you're not too terribly rigid about defining Off-Broadway," Nicola told The New York Times.

Al Carmines and Maria Irene Fornes' Promenade (1969) as well as Doug Dyer, Gretchen Cryer and Peter Link's Iphigenia in Concert (1971) have been mentioned as titles to launch the series.

Works by Nancy Ford and the team of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt are also being considered. The Times reports Doug Wright, Michael Greif and James Lapine have expressed interest in participating in the new series.

"I'm also hoping it would be a breeding ground for revised versions of things that maybe in the moment didn't find their final form," added Nicola.

Good luck!! But I don't think you'll really need it!

It is a gaw-jus day for outings. Have fun with your mom.

One more comment re: something DRs MattH and TCB said last night about Tom Hanks just saying the winner for Best Picture (and not listing them).

Here is my point. I watched the entire show. But if you asked me to list you right now the entire 10 nominated movies. Well I couldn't do it.

I got the funniest phone call last night from my 4 1/2 year old niece. She has learned how to dial the phone on her own. So she calls me up and whispers in the phone (she only knows how to do it on speakerphone) that i should talk very quietly.

It is my sister's birthday tomorrow (her mother) and she wanted to know if i had any ideas (her term).

I told her to go in the kitchen so my sister couldn't hear her. I then told her i was going to make some cupcakes. So she says, "um, great idea" and then she was done!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And the oatmeal has been consumed, the coffee has been brewed and is currently being sipped, and another load of laundry is in the washer. Sounds like a full day to me!

I just read this:

Why weren't Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur included in the "In Memoriam" package on Sunday's Oscars telecast?

Academy spokesperson Penny Melidonian pointed out that both actresses were better known for television. "We cannot include everyone," she said.

Another day of too many things to do and not enough time to enjoy what gets done. Anyway, I practically grew up in the art house cinema, the Vogue, that was about a mile from my house in Louisville. I can remember seeing Bergman festivals and Fellini festivals plus an assortment of Kurosawa, Resnais, Goddard and Truffaut, all a pleasant alternative to the noise of "Star Wars" and other mainstream movies of the time that I didn't care for then and still don't really like now.

So, here's a partial list:

Chishu Ryu, "Tokyo Story"
Mastroianni, "La Dolce Vita," "8 1/2"
Liv Ullmann, "The Emigrants/The New Land," "Personna"
Gunnar Bjornstrand, "Smiles of a Summer Night," "The Magician"
Max von Sydow, "The Emigrants/The New Land," "The Seventh Seal"
Toshiro Mifune, "High and Low," "Yojimbo"
Deneuve in anything, most recently in "A Christmas Tale"
Anna Karina, Sami Frey, Claude Brasseur in "Band of Outsiders"

The list could go on to include Sophia Loren, Jeanne Moreau, Alain Delon, Erland Josephson and Isabelle Hupert in just about anything. I'm sure I'm forgetting any number of others.

Sounds like my morning.

Do you get to spend the afternoon with a printer salesman, too?
