I think the Fates are against my seeing GLOOMY SUNDAY. I was going to go to the evening showing, but I feel less than stellar and may just stay close to home. I'm not stellar by starlight.

DR Michael Shayne - if you check the painting of the Lake in yesterday's notes - Tekapo is near Mt Cook. The lake is the most amazing blue - glacial waters from the Tasman glacier I think. I think the hobbits go to the Church pictured.

So, if it is a Catholic Church, do the Sisters wear hobbits?

After watching LOVER COME BACK tonight, I decided to go in another direction and plucked off the unwatched DVD shelf the John Badham DRACULA. I remember when it first came out that there was much moaning and groaning because he desaturated the color in the DVD release supposedly because this was the way he had wanted it done for its theatrical release, but Universal had insisted that it not be printed that way. They supposedly gave in on the DVD version.

I didn't really care one way or other about that. I was just disappoinbted that it wasn't an anamorphic transfer.

I've been trying to think of records that I own (or not) that have never been released on CD and I can't think of any that haven't already been mentioned. I was going to look through my records, but I have too many boxes of stuff in front of them, so I can't even go through them. I used to have an Excel file of all of my recorded musicals, but it was lost when I lost my computer a couple of months ago (which had better not happen again, is all I can say!)

So there. I wanted to at least pop in and say "Hi!" I was at work earlier and caught up on reading the posts, but I didn't have time to actually post until now.

And since I can't think of any records, I really don't have anything else to say. So, I'll now go back to the house where I'm house sitting and water the lawn. Even though it's overcast and it looks like it's going to rain, it hasn't yet. Good day to all!

Hello everyone!

I have a few rare LPs, some of which I don't believe are on CD yet.

OCRs--Walking Happy, Happy Hunting, What Makes Sammy Run?, Say, Darling

Others--

Vivian Blaine--"For You"
Beatrice Lillie--"Sings the young Noel Coward, the young Arthur Schwartz and the young Howard Dietz"
Joel Grey--"Only the Beginning"
Gordon MacRae--"Only Love" (which includes songs from Zorba!, Dear World, Promises, Promises, Maggie Flynn, Her First Roman and The Fig Leaves Are Falling)

Honey, when it comes to Bea Lillie -- she could have sung the young Moses!

I ate two Popeye's chicken breasts.

Are Popeye's chicken breasts cooked in Olive Oyl?

Oh, I know which Lps I'd like to have "cidified":

Rose-Marie 1958 RCA LOP 1001 (RD-27143 in UK)

A studio recording of this classic operetta made in London in July 1958, with Julie Andrews and Giorgio Tozzi... The STEREO version, needless to say!

High Tor 1956 Decca DL 8272

A Combination of the studio recording and the original soundtrack from the CBS-TV special. (Julie Andrews, Bing Crosby)

Julie & Carol at Lincoln Centre 1971 Columbia S-31153

Original soundtrack recording of the CBS-TV special Julie and Carol Burnett's second television special together.

See a link there??

and... Lehman Engels conducting many Overtures of musicals.....

and that divoon CAROUSEL studio recording starring Roberta Peters and Alfred Drake.....

Is the french cd release of Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolfe? The one with Uta Hagen or the film soundtrack with music by Alex North and dialogue "highlights" from Taylor, Burton, Dennis and Segal

Good Evening!

Well, the A/C in the theatre seemed to be working better during the matinee... however, during the evening show it was starting to get a bit warm again... ah, well... It's supposed to cool down outside next week, so that will help inside. *We also had another sparsely audienced matinee, so with less people in the theatre, less people making heat, so... Ah, well....

-Currently watching "Trading Spaces" - I guess tonight's episode will be called the "Black and White" episode... Hmmm....

I joined some of the other men and women - well, woman - in the pit for dinner between shows. We headed over to Chinatown... and went to an Indian restaurant! I was actually familiar with the place - well, it's original location in suburban Virginia - and in it's original incarnation, it used to be an Italian and Indian restaurant. They didn't mix the two cuisines together - they just had two sides to the menu. -And it was quite extensive... But I digress. The food was very good, but the service took a long time - and we were the first people in there for dinner. And their prices were a bit high, imho. But it was nice hanging out with the "pit", and it was a good meal. -And I had some pretty wonderful Indian rice pudding for dessert! Yummy!

OK - Time for some snacks.. potato chips and ice cream!!

It's the film soundtrack by North with the dialogue snippets.

I may have to call the pest control people again - I can't believe it. No, we don't have eau de rodent morte, but we do have a preponderence of bluebottle flies in my bedroom - I just killed twelve of them, slowly and with pleasure. I don't know where they're coming from, and I suppose they could be a residual of the dead rodent, although why they suddenly appear today when they haven't made an appearance in three weeks is a mystery.

Thank you DR François for the compliment, but I don’t really think I am very witty. I am probably more closely aligned with one of those hypothetical monkeys that, when locked in a room with a typewriter, would eventually produce the Complete Works of Shakespeare. That’s me. I figure, if I throw out enough one-liners, eventually something is going to make each and everyone of you smile.

Hmmmm.. And for my aforementioned "nostalgia strip".... Hmmm... I have no idea where that came from...

-well, one of the guys in the show did win an underwear contest last night at one of the bars downtown, so... Hmm....

I thought the Dick Van Dyke and Carol Burnett things were going to be rerun tonight. That's what people here said. They most certainly were not rerun, not that I can see, unless they were on some channel that I don't know.

The only thing that I saw being rerun tonight was the first HARRY POTTER film. Hmm...the third film opens when?

I tried to find Dick Van D, too. All I found was wall-to-wall Law and Order.

Well, I'm tired.. and sleepy... and, unlike last night, I think I will actually go to bed now instead of later...

Goodnight.

As well you should be BK.

Anyway, I know it's not Wednesday, but I have a question. Has anyone heard anything about the new releases of the "West Side Story" and "A Star Is Born" soundtracks? They're both being released on May 18th. I don't have any recording of "ASIB" (which I do plan to get) but I have the last "WSS" CD release (which, according to amazon.com, was released in 1992). Any reasons why one should have this new release if one already has the old? Does anyone know if the sound is better or is it that there is more music than previous releases? Just curious.

Panni · « **Reply #179 on:** May 15, 2004, 11:05:40 PM »

I'm wussing out early tonight. Feeling a tad under the weather. (Does anyone ever feel OVER the weather?)
