I am still getting over the shock of the bank balance - it was fine up until this month - no real worries and a reasonable cushion for any emergencies - but this month ate the cushion so fast - it's just crazy.  Part of the problem has been this glut of releases from labels - I do my two a month, which I kind of have to do to stay afloat.  But others are doing four or six a month and no one has enough money to get everything, and the most disheartening part of it is that they'll buy some cheeseball 1980s synth score to some film they saw as a kid rather than two classic Elmer Bernstein scores or an Alfred Newman score.

On the other hand, singers will be coming and I'm sure I'll have a nice rehearsal.

On the other hand, in seventy posts I will attain a rather startling plateau.

Just had a lovelier than lovely telephonic call from Euzhan Palcy, the director of A Dry White Season.  She's so happy about the album and wanted to say thanks.

I'm so tired I can't even see straight.  So far, young Melody Hollis is the only one who's picked up her music.  Alet will be here a little before six, and Juliana, the girl who can never arrive when she should, will get hers in the morning.  That leaves Roger and Kirsten (Dan Callaway is in NY and I sent him mp3s via e-mail).  Our MD, Richard Berent, has already picked his stuff up.

Most of the fish in this country consider themselves far too good to be wrapped in the LA Times!

It's going to cost around $12,000 to copy new scores and orchestra parts for Act One of Victor Herbert's 1917 operetta EILEEN. Now where the hell are those missing scores?

Well, here's my last post for the day. I've written a report on things to be purchased for a beginning music prep office and mailed my invoice for the past two weeks' work on Victor Herbert. I will watch a little tv, read a bit, and head for bed. I have to be out of here tomorrow morning for tests prior to my physical exam next week.

I got an email from our producer for the Herbert recordings. The first edit is in for the 102 songs we recorded and the 5 discs should arive in the post in the next couple of days. She's divided them by Irish-themed,  occasional and jingoistic, classical art song, romantic, and low and high jinx. I can't wait to hear everything.

Good night to one and all!

One of the experts they are using on CNN as an expert on nuclear accidents, looks and sounds like a Japanese Elmer Fudd.

Master food author and chef Michael Ruhlman included Skip's own recipe for Sourdough English Muffins in his column on making Eggs Benedict from Scrtach

At the link, you can Scroll down, Skip's recipe for the Sourdough English muffins is right under Marlene Newell's recipe for the Hollandaise.

It is about time Skips culinary talent was recognized!

Thanks.  I thought I had it on my NetFlix queue & didn't.  Unfortunately I didn't send back a DVD today.

Suddenly Yoko Ono is an expert on Japanese easrthquakes!  Well, I guess since Miyoshi Umeki is dead they had to interview someone.  John has been dead for 30 years, and she doesn't speak any better Englsih than the day she met John.
