Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no extraneous words except the word extraneous, and now it is time for you to post until the extraneous cows come home.

My favorite: Heaven Can Wait
Bonnie and Clyde
$ (Have not seen it in years and wonder if it still holds up)
McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Dick Tracy

And in general not familar with his pre-Bonnie and Clyde output although I recogniz most of the titles and have no memory of seeing any

Now be truthful......

Has anyone ever seen Ishtar and Town & Country? They were two of his biggest flops. Although the latter was probably bigger. Costing 90 mil to produce and taking in only 6.7.

Good morning, all! I slept very well and I'm glad I did because I have a busy day today.

I've looked at all the chairs in my apartment; no glass beside any of them, DR JRand60! This is one of the weirdest experiences i've ever had. What I'm hoping is that in a fit of mental distraction I took it down to the basement with the trash and tossed it by accident. I'm coming to the conclusion that it is not in this apartment any longer. Last night, when I was talking on the telephone to Mr Ron Raines, I heard what sounded like the fall of a bundle of papers, but a check of the apartment revealed nothing out of the usual order. So, I think the apartment ghost is becoming aggressive.

Yesterday Toyland was a day from hell; the printer and copier are both in severe need ot maintenance and the lack of such has made the library work for EILEEN a real ordeal. We sent a ton of card stock to Kinko's to be cut to the size of 9.5 x 12.5 for band parts, and the asses cutting it sent back a large portion of the paper poorly trimmed so that one side of the paper was 12.5 and the other side a little longer than 12 inches and a quarter; this poor trim caused us to dump a ton of printed parts. If the machinery continues to be difficult, I have no idea if we'll meet our deadline.

This morning, I have a date at 9 am with the post office, a trip to the pharmacy, and then a trek to Toyland where I'll proof the final number. This afternoon, I have a meeting with the Medicare rep for my HMO to get this shebang off the ground since I do not understand any of the Medicare forms I'm receiving in an avalanche of unwanted mail.

Dick Tracy
McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Bugsy (glad to hear it has held up)

And I have seen Ishtar. Back when it came out on video, so that's, what, about 25 years ago? I enjoyed it then for its silliness, but I was glad not to have paid full price for seeing it in a theater. Haven't felt the need to see it again, unlike "McCabe," which I watch on average about once a year.

Jose, now that you've played through the Oklahoma! score a few times, are there any moments that have proved enlightening to you or that you appreciate better now?

Tuesday morning greetings! Richard and I had a fruitful trip to UC yesterday, finding lots of fun decor for Rob and Mary Linda's rehearsal dinner. After a quick supper at Panera, we went to see the last Harry Potter movie - a CGI extravaganza with not much acting.

Interesting DR ELMORE....it might be the ghost....but I still think it's on the floor someplace.

DR CILLA LIZ - your watch is in the bathroom.

DR elmore - Is it possible you never had that glass of water in the first place?

Is it possible that your jacuzzi is haunted?

If not, that's still an interesting idea for your next novel.

Speaking of "Bugsy" Siegel, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that one of the stories in my new book of short stories deals with the murder of Mr. Siegel. It's called "Bugsy's Boys".

Jose, now that you've played through the Oklahoma! score a few times, are there any moments that have proved enlightening to you or that you appreciate better now?

I have to confess that Oklahoma! was one of the R&H musicals that I was least familiar with. In fact, I believe the only time I had ever seen it on stage was 20+ years ago - and that was a good community theatre production in Alexandria, VA. I had read all about it's historical significance, but had never really studied it nor given it a close listen. I mainly knew it from seeing bits and pieces of the movie over the years, and playing so many of the songs in auditions. Big confession: I don't even have a cast recording. So...

What's continually amazed me about the score over the past couple of weeks is the chromaticism in the accompaniments under the very non-chromatic melodies. In the rehearsal room, I found myself paying more attention to what my fingers were doing than I thought I would. It's also been fun wondering which passing tones, counter melodies and flourishes were the work of Richard Rodgers or Robert Russell Bennett.

I'm also still "deciphering" some of the dialect that Hammerstein wrote into the lyrics. There are lots of "nen's".

So sorry to hear the sad news from yesterday. BK, please send our condolences to Doug Haverty on the loss of their friend.

Today's exciting Terry Baxter plays Bacharach post:

Terry's version of "Promises, Promises" features the most appallingly out of tune string section I think I've ever heard. I can't believe they waxed this take.

On the other hand, the compilation is littered with odd little gems from the B-D canon you don't usually hear, like "Walk Little Dolly" and "Try to See it My Way." I find this somewhat odd as the album must have come out in the early 1970's and some of Dionne's last B-D hits like "Paper Mache" aren't in here.
