I had something new (for me) for lunch yesterday: beef on weck. It originates in Buffalo, apparently. Soooo good, although not something I'd eat very often!

Hmmm, is it part of the buffalo?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR S. WOODY!

[Michael]

Finally found the studio cast recording of Sherry! I haven't listened to it it, but in the notes by James Lipton, I found an interesting comment...."To my knowledge this is the only cd with a choreographer."

Just shows how far ahead of his time Mr. Bruce Kimmel is.

Also if the score was "lost" according to Lipton then how did BK get the music when he recorded the title tune on Unsung Musicals? Which also happens to be one of my favorite tracks. Jonathan Freeman and Christine Baranski are tops.

[George]

We just heard two major explosions in the Seattle / Tacoma area.  We are being told that they were sonic booms from two F-15 that were scrambled after another airplane entered the no-fly zone that is in place over Seattle during Obama's visit.

I just got back from lunch and was at home when it happened.  I though that something hit my building!  The whole thing shook for a couple of seconds!

And speaking of SHERRY, has anyone ever tried producing the play version of THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, and plugging in the songs from SHERRY?

NASHVILLE was audacious, wasn't it?

NASHVILLE was brilliant, and it's one of my most favortie movies, but I'd think the earlier M*A*S*H was more influential with its overlapping dialogue and use of sound.

Was watching a bit of MASH today on AMC, very audacious.  Sadly, AMC was showing it with language and other content edits.

Which is why I never ever watch AMC! As soon as they began breaking for commercials, I removed it from my favorite cable channels.

I have proofed Liz's new full score for "Memory," and the evening is mine. Today I got a new book abpout the musical theatre from Amazon to occupy my time tonight.

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all! I slept very late, around 10am, debating for the 15 minutes before that if I wanted to stay in bed the rest of the day, the rest of my life, or get up. I'm not sure if this lethargy/apathy means I'm coming down with something, still in depression, or simply regenerating after the big round of work last week.

I guess it would depend on who else was in the bed.

There were three: me, myself, I.

He got a copy from the composer, I assume. The song I was given was a photocopy from the usual Piano-conductor score, and I would guess that Rosenthal has a complete copy of the entire score. And the show isn't "lost"; it simply wasn't available for performance. Weren't the parts at the Library of Congress?

Yes that's where they score was found untouched in a trunk according to Sher

I saw Psycho on tv when I was a kid. It was on TV and don't remember if it was being shown on a Canadian channel or American. It must have been around 5 or 6. I never got passed the shower scene. I ran from the room screaming and had nightmares. I don't think the baby sister knew what the film was about.

I didn't know that they had musical theatre in the Amazon

Elmoore:

From the youtube postings of Show Boat, do you think these were shot at the Ziegfield Theater? The sets tell me I don't think so. Also do you think the curtains would close after the song like they did in the clips? Hey Feller or is Hey Fella? Queenie's Ballyhoo

I see some of the differences you were talking about, but all I have to go by is the Show Boat recording that late McGlinn did.

[Jennifer]

Glad everything is okay DR Ginny.

[Jennifer]

DR Jane and anybody else who is interested:

Did you read about the latest castings from the American THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO movie.

Daniel Craig is definitely going to be Mikael. But they have cast Lisbeth and Erika.

Erika is Robin Wright Penn. I actually can see her doing this role.

And Lisbeth will be someone I don't know named Rooney Mara.  She's 25.

[bk]

I think we all know about James Lipton's "knowledge".  Another bit of knowledge he doesn't mention - I was going to record the show - we were set to have it orchestrated when Sher found the parts and convinced Rosenthal he should do it - my guess is that Rosenthal wishes it hadn't gone that way.  It's a pretty mediocre album and yes, the recording we did of the title song is, for now, definitive.

[bk]

I've written about eight pages of my scene - almost through with it.

[Dan (the Man)]

Is TCM showing the colorized version of THE QUIET MAN?!?

[George]

Is TCM showing the colorized version of THE QUIET MAN?!?

Is there any other version??

[bk]

Finished my scene and sent it to David - some very funny stuff in it, I think.

[Druxy]

Is TCM showing the colorized version of THE QUIET MAN?!?

It was made in color.

[John G.]

NASHVILLE was audacious, wasn't it?

Yes, it was. Thanks for the reminder. Though Altman made other pictures in the style, few worked quite as well.

[Jane]

Where is everybody?

I was at Lithia Park visiting with DR JMM & his DW Betsy while the boys played in the creek.  When I arrived JMK was wading in the water cooling off.  I had to leave Sherlock home since he isn't permitted in the park & it was very hot out.  Keith had to stay home as he is drinking that disgusting drink in preparation for a procedure tomorrow.

[John G.]

Applying for jobs is exhausting. Even if it is all online and slightly unreal.

[John G.]

Had to quit the magazine today. The publisher was behaving in too unprofessional a manner; there was no equipment to use to facilitate the job; and he didn't pay anything. It was a trifecta of good reasons to let it go.

[John G.]

TOD: "Brazil" and some of the other movies of Terry Gilliam have an audacious visual quality that makes me return for repeated viewings. I know it was a financial flop, but I love "The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen." 

[John G.]

Just finished the new BBC version of "Emma." What fun.

[John G.]

In terms of musicals, the opening sequence of "Love Me Tonight" with its Rodgers and Hart song picked up by various characters is audacious.

I hadn't seen it.  The young actress might work   While browsing the cast list, what there is, I noticed Robin Wright has dropped Penn from her name.  I agree she could be Ericka.

[Druxy]

We just finished watching ME & ORSON WELLES.

Excellent!
