APRIL LOVE
« on: March 31, 2011, 11:42:37 PM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were all about April, and now it is time for you to post until the April cows come home.  Frankly, they can't wait for the month of MOO.

TOD:

DVD - Season Four of HERE'S LUCY.  Not much in the way of extras compared to the other sets....some short home movies, an appreciation of Gale Gordon with some interviews (he may have been a very nice man, but he was NOT a great actor in his work with Lucille Ball.....although as Doris Singleton says: "We overplayed everything, nothing we did was subtle....."  And of course Lucy was getting very.....well......old by this point in the series.  And of course there's Lucie Arnaz who gives a performance that makes Marjorie Lord and even.....Deborah Messing.....look like Meryl Streep by comparison.  I only watched a couple of episodes...more to follow.

CD - Hits of Patsy Cline, but not too many of them, mostly her B-work before she was signed by Decca.

I am also reading SCORPION DOWN, a book about the nuclear submarine that sank in May, 1968.....which puts forth a quite different scenario than the official one.

DR TCB - they sell USB cords at my local Dollar Tree.....I would imagine you need one with matching ends, but yes just check the connections on the back of your computer and the back of you printer and see if they match.

Good morning, all! At 6:30 I was rarin' to get out of bed and so I did. I am bathed, dressed and ready for a second cup of coffee. I have no memories of dreams, so I guess I slept well.

Today I have a date wth Mr Bruce Pomahac to listen to the unreleased Herbert recordings, and that will take up most of my late afternoon and evening. I've got some work on Victor Herbert here and then, around noon, I will head to the NYPL for Historic Newspapers online.

DR John G, I've read the novel PRETTYBELLE and the pre-production libretto, and it's one offensive show. Some of the moments in the novel are sanitized (the rapes she sets up in the novel seem more like consensual sex in the libretto). I'm still puzzled that anyone thought there was a musical in it, very similar to my reading "The Son of the Grand Eunuch" and wondering how Rodgers & Hart thought a musical based on it, CHEE-CHEE, could ever work. I remember being shocked that in the PRETTYBELLE libretto there is a song called "New Orleans Poon" for the redneck husband and his racist friends. And they opened in Boston? And Lansbury agreed to do it? And they thought it could be a hit?

Happy Birthday to VinTek.

TOD:
   DVD: several Netflix items
   CD: unreleased Victor Herbert, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Rebecca Luker, God knows what else
   VCR: Porn

I've finished the wonderful Joan McCracken biography, THE GIRL WHO FELL DOWN, and I jad no idea of the tragedies that befell her. I was quite moved by the book.  I'm now onto Allegra Kent's wonderful autobiography about dancing for Balanchine. Her jewish mother, who became an ardent Christian Scientist whose pretensions changed the family's last name from Cohen to Kent and forced her 18 year-old-daughter to have plastic surgery, was a real horror.

Is plastic surgery OK for Christian Scientists?

I'm glad I didn't invest in it, or in Chee-Chee. But Chee-Chee has "Moon of My Delight," which is quite lovely. I even have a vinyl recording of Comden and Green singing songs from that show. So, you never know.
