Well, you've read the notes, the notes had only a small amount of pith, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having the pith kicked out of them.

Good morning. Got an early morning meeting on the magazine, and who knows what the rest of the day will bring. I'm hoping to get to Pilates, but I can't tell at this point. Then it's time to start cleaning house before Easter and maybe get some more work done on taxes. (I'm missing one or two documents and it's going to drive me crazy.)

Wednesday morning greetings! I'm up early to see DS Rob off for his first day of paramedic training and to get started on preparations for tonight's "Green Eggs and Ham" dinner.

Good morning, all! I had strange dreams about the Al Carmines show PROMENADE, which is being given in concert in April and I'm thinking about attending, all depending on whether the concert will be with piano or the wonderful Eddie Sauter orchestrations. The dream was mostly about my debating on whether or not to go, weird happenings in the dress rehearsal and then I was working on a production of THE BEGGAR'S OPERA; it was weird.

Today, I have a meeting with my friend, record producer Judy Sherman, about some recording for the McGlinn executor, john Vogel. The three of us are meeting at 10:30 to discuss all the preliminaries: AGVA fees, calendar, schedule, studios, budget, etc. Mr Vogel has never met Judy, whom I've known since 1985 when she produced the McGlinn "Songs of New York" recording for the Book-of-the-Month Club and the NYC Gay Men's Chorus albums between 1985 and 1992.

After that, I have work here on the never-ending Montgomery & Stone Medley and THE WIZARD OF OZ before I pack for my trek tomorrow to the wilds of DC and the Library of Congress. I am going with a bit of trepidation since I have no idea if the people I wish to avoid will be there or not and I'm still feeling bruised over the hostility of LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40. I have things to research and photocopy, so I'm taking the train to DC, come hell or high water.

The Dream-0-Matic 6000 says that DR ELMORE is more interested in working on songs and musicals already established rather than brand new untried material - but that there must be a new approach and lots of discussion before he is interested in beginning his work.

Wednesday - and it promises to be a lovely day weather wise.

My first question for ASK BK day - what feature on your new motor car would you now be unable to live without?

The good weather is on the way to New York. It has stopped raining, though it's still grey and cloudy and by the weekend we may have an 80 degree day.

DR JRand59, you are amazing! I would amend that analysis by saying that it all depends on the new material; for instance, I would rather have my ears drilled than work on a show by a couple of writers I won't mention, but there are shows by other writers whose work I would be happy to orchestrate. I would love to do YANK!, for example. I love big band 40's music.

The Bravo Channel is showing the weirdest PROMISES PROMISES ads: we get it once with the band (sounds like a synth on a brass patch) playing the title song. Then after another commercial, we get the same PROMISES PROMISES ad, with the very same copy, and an underscore of "Say A Little Prayer." Very tiresome.

One of my favorite shows is starting again tonight, IN PLAIN SIGHT. Unfortunately it is on the USA network which is not available in Canada. So i just have to wait (hopefully soon) for Global tv to post their schedule.

Hopefully i won't have to wait as long as i've had to wait for THE CLOSER. The station W that shows it still has not shown season 4. Although when i emailed them they said they would be showing it this year.

I was a little bit bummed about the bottom 2. Although these two teams were not the best, they were not the worst.
They had announced pamela anderson right at the beginning of the show as being in the B2. I thought her name would have made her more popular. Then they had shannen dougherty and kate gosselin (one would make it and the other would be in the bottom). They announed it was mark and shannen in the bottom. I really like mark ballas a lot. And thought that this week he was great (the routine was great). And shannen was really so much improved. So i was upset when they were voted out. However after the vote was revealed, it was revealed that mark had injured himself (his knee) in rehearsals that day and would be out for 6 weeks. So shannen actually sort of seemed happy because she said she didn't want to dance with anyone but him. And she would have had to switch partners. So i was then sort of happy. Because i also would not have wanted to see her with another partner.

We still have cool weather today. But starting i think thursday or for sure friday it is supposed to get really warm. I think saturday and sunday are supposed to be like 24C (which is 70s). Yeah!

BK,

The other day you mentioned that Louis Lepke was a major character in the long musical. So, is this a musical about Murder, Inc. or is that just a subplot?

On a similar subject:

Several years ago, I had the idea of turning my original script of DILLINGER AND CAPONE into a musical. I had sold it to Roger Corman, who produced the film. Unfortunately (after his experience with THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS), were unable to negotiate a realistic deal for me to regain the rights, so I dropped the project.

But, one of the numbers I was planning for the show was "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre Polka".

Good morning!

Very cool this morning (38), but the walk went well. This was the first morning since the time change that the street lights were off by the time I got to the last half of the walk (due to daylight taking over).

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** March 31, 2010, 07:11:51 AM »

After I ate a light breakfast, I went out and mowed the front yard this morning, the first time in 2010 (first of many, I'm UNHAPPY to say). Can't stand doing it, but it was over in 15-20 minutes.

However, from now on, I'll either walk in the morning or mow the grass, but I WON'T do both!

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** March 31, 2010, 07:12:50 AM »

Unless the UPS truck sneaked by me when I was away from my desk this morning, there has been no delivery and thus, I'm looking at another day off. Maybe the delivery will be later this morning.

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** March 31, 2010, 07:13:21 AM »

Guess I'll speed through last night's IDOL later this morning. I see that it was soul music night.
