GIDDY WITH EXHAUSTION

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not all that giddy but were definitely exhausted, and now it is time for you to post until the exhausted cows come home.

Saw that George David Weiss died. I know "First Impressions" wasn't a hit, but there are a few lovely songs in it.

Good morning, all! Yesterday, around noon, the Herbert recording producer inundated me with lots of questions and budget concerns. Beyond recording 11 cello-piano compositions, 14-20 piano solos, we will hopefully record (depending on any singers cancelling a tight schedule and no rescheduling) 5 duets, 2 quartets, 4 numbers with an ensemble backup, and 91 songs. So, I left the apartment around 1:30, ran to Staples whose idiots in their copy dept refuse to have one of their 8.5x11 drawers run in a direction in which 11x17 sheets of paper can be reduced to 8.5x11 copies. I ran to Fed Ex/Knkos and reduced the copies for the producer and headed down to Wall Street. I had to ask directions once, but I walked by the building on Broad Street 3 times since sincere was no address I could see. I arrived about 2:30 to New World Records and by 3, everyone was there. The meeting lasted two and a half hours, and then the foundation head, the producer and I went to a local restaurant and visited for several hours. By the time I got home, all I wanted to do was watch THE CLOSER, chill out and go to bed. As soon as RIZZOLI ANMD ISLES was over, I crashed.

Today, I meet with Skip Kennon for edits at noon. When I get to Toyland, I will pack up some music I need and wait for Skip. Later in the afternoon, my friend Jonathan McDevitt is stopping by to return some music. That's my day.

My other bit of good news is that Sara Jean Ford, who was Kate Baldwin's standby in FINIAN'S RAINBOW, is taking over the role of Christine in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. It's always good to know pretty young sopranos!

I did two shows with George! He was a real character, and I had heard in 2002 that he had been suffering from dementia (Alzheimer's) and his health was failing. He was always kind to me and I liked hm very much. I'm saddened by this news.

I knew I forgot something! Yes, indeed, BK, a speedy sell out is a good thing.

And even if he hadn't written anything else:

 “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” recorded by Elvis Presley;
“The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” recorded by the Tokens;
 “What a Wonderful World,” recorded by Louis Armstrong.

Not a bad legacy.

John G, 

In answer to last night's question,

"So, Druxy, will there be a signing in Austin any time soon?"

I'm sure there will be, though none as been set yet.  Also, hopefully, one in Los Angeles.

As a former publicist, you know that I will certainly keep everybody informed.

 :)

I'm also a great fan of Lloyd Webber's PHANTOM score.  Yes, yes, the music is derivative and it encourages overwrought performances, but I also find it passionate and incredibly theatrical and perfectly suited to the vehicle.  I also give it a play every once in a while

A friend was visiting London after the show originally opened and I had asked her to pick up the cast recording for me.  The double CD set has a quirk I never understood--there are no individual tracks.  Each disc play an act of music and is in continuous track.  I never heard an explanation why it was done that way.

The other day there were posting about going to see musicals that have been shortened or censored for production.

It reminded me that Tits and Ass from A Chorus Line became "This and That"

Which then gave us the immortal line: "You're all looking at my this, aren't you?" (or something like that)
