For anyone who watches HUMAN TARGET fox is showing last Wednesday's 2 hour episode tonight (it was not on because of the memorial).

I'll have to rush home and set my DVR...I'm working concessions for Vagabond Opera tonight.  It should be a great show!

I've been curious about some copyright issues, maybe BK has some words of wisdom.  This also applies to the TOD, as I have been listening to the LP series I mentioned the other day, Time-Life's mid-70's opus, AS YOU REMEMBER THEM.  I'm really curious how "recreating" arrangements worked in terms of copyright.  I'm sure Capitol licensed things properly with Harry Fox (or whoever handled mechanicals back in the day), but were they required to pay a fee to the original arrangers/orchestrators?

I'm not sure I'm getting what you're asking - are you saying Time-Life re-recorded tracks using or aping the original arrangements?  Or did they license the original arrangements.  Sadly, most arrangements, especially older ones, have no real protection.

The first one--Time-Life, in both THE SWING ERA and AS YOU REMEMBER THEM, re-recorded other peoples' arrangements.  For instance, THE SWING ERA re-did Glenn Miller's version of A String of Pearls, etc.  AS YOU REMEMBER THEM dealt with more contemporary tunes and arrangements, so that's really what's piqued my curiosity.  For example, they do everything from Bert Kaempfert to Henry Mancini to Percy Faith to Billy Vaughn to Tijuana Brass and on and on.  I'm really curious if they had to pay some sort of licensing fee to "recreate" the originals.

Jane, having spent the better part of the last year dealing with Qwest and our phone and internet problems at the new manse, all I can say is, good luck and hilarity will ensue.  :)

I am moving very slowly, writing-wise - only three pages so far, but I've just started a new chapter so hopefully I can get another four or five pages done by the end of the day.

BK you are so very lucky to have a muse like Margaret!  There are several authors that I can think of who should probably look around and find their own muse before it is too late.

Garage door vibes for DR MATTHEW.

DR TCB - that calendar was just for you.

You would think so, wouldn't you?

MEdia Check:

iPod:  Old Crow Medicine Show -- Tennesee Pusher, SHE LOVES ME ocr

Tivo:  I LOVE YOU, ALICE B. TOKLIS from TCM last night...

DVD:  I will probably pick up a copy of THE SOCIAL NETWORK after work (I have a coupon!)


I think the theme song from ALICE B. is better than the movie (and that isn't saying much).

I am sitting here at my computer with the song THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE running through my head.. again and again.  Last year, when I was on my cruise with Oceana Cruises, I spent a great deal of time in the computer room (you guys might remember my e-mails).  The two gentlemen who ran the Computer Room were both very nice and very helpful.  They were both (I believe) from India.  One of them was  hoping for something more than just my computer buisness.

Anyway, they taught a lot of classes during our 10 day cruise.  On my next to last night onboard, I asked one of the men to make me a backup copy of my photos; just in case something should happen that I would lose the  memory card.  When I went to pick up the disk, the younger of the two men who was helping me that day took me over to their corner of the room that they used for their office.  I was looking at all of the things they had for sale, including a four disc PhotoShop 5.0.  I asked him if that was the entire PhotoShop 5.0 program, which he assured me it was.  I bought it, brought it home, and promptly put it in a drawer and forgot about it.

This week I moved some shirts around and came upon my four disc set, so I decided to download it and play around with it this weekend.  Well, guess what I actually bought!   A four-disc tutorial on how to use PHotoShop 5.0.  It does not however, contain the program PhotoShop 5.0.

I am back! On the way in I ran into my super who has informed me the Oaf's apartment has been rented to a student. The super assures me he has no dog. I hope he doesn't tunr out to be ne of the midnight crowd from Christmas week.

I got an inquiry from Rodgers and Hammerstein about cutting down the size of the orchestra for the revised version of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, which I did for them in 2000. Since I have no memory of the orchestration I went to the RHO website to find that the orchestration they've been renting for the past 8 or so years is still credited to the Broadway orchestrator.

Vibes the student studies at night instead of partying.

I feel bad that the previous renter might have ruined the chances of a responsible pet owner renting apartments in your building.

THANK YOU!!!  Had you not mentioned it, or Keith not accidentally deleted HUMAN TARGET, we would have missed it.  When Keith accidentally deleted Target we checked to see if it would be on again & found the 2 hour episode to record tonight.  Honestly we were totally confused as to what, if anything, we missed & why it was on tonight.

The other oddity of the evening was Mark's meal. He ordered something not on the menu, which probably every waiter/waitress hates, but it was very simple. He just wanted pasta in a butter/olive oil sauce. After a while she brought to the table a dish of about 5 pats of butter, and a small bottle of olive oil. Mark said to me, "are they going to bring me a plate of dry pasta and I have to make the sauce myself?" Yep - that's exactly what the waitress did. We'd never seen anything like it. Amazingly, the pasta was hot enough to melt the butter and Mark enjoyed it very much, and even said he would order it again.

LOL at least the pasta was cooked. :)

Thank you for your enjoyable report on the evening activities.

DR Jane, I had the same concern about the pasta! 

;D

I read a report recently that said one works better when it's cold. I disagree.

So do I.  I just want to curl up & sleep.

CRAP!  I went home to pick up my cat to take her to the vet (her claw issue, again) and I forgot to set my DVR.  I was so grateful that I was able to get her into the cat carrier without having to get her out from under the bed that I just totally forgot about it. :P Now, I'll have to go home before I go to the theater.  I'm just glad that I live so close to where I work.
