And why, may I ask, does Jane know so much about quickie divorces?

Pogue, I believe Druxy used to rep Cahn and might have some info for you.

No, I represented Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain.

I never crossed paths with Mr. Cahn.

I enjoyed the irises, Ron.

There's an area in northern San Diego County where the entire side of some hills is covered in flowers. I believe there must be a commercial grower there. It's quite a lovely site from the freeway.

I am back from a wonderful rehearsal with four of our leads, all of whom deserve big careers in the opera world:
Lynda Lee: majestic, Junoesque, with a wonderful voice running from light and playful to dramatic soprano, sending out high B's like lasers
Rachel Kelly: tiny, beautiful, funny, smart, really adorable
Mary O'Sullivan: lyric coloratura soprano with a great sense of humor and a lot of intelligence
Eamonn Mulhall: much handsomer than his photos, with a bigger voice than the gorgeous lyric tenor I heard on youtube

Not only were they fantastic performers, they were all delightful people eager to jump right in and tackle this turkey. I was honored to be in their company. Tomorrow we add Andrew Ashwin and Phillip O'Reilly inh the afternoon and the chorus in the evening. I'm quite happy at the moment.

TCB, have your doctors done a mineral panel for you? Low levels of either potassium or magnesium can cause cramping and may be adding to your discomfort. Unfortunately, blood tests are not an accurate indicator of magnesium, as magnesium isn't stored in the blood, but supplementation may help. Potassium can be measured by blood work. The supplements are inexpensive.

Whether she will also resist the call of the quickie divorce remains to be seen.

Is this because you're a lesbian?

I skipped my hiking group outing to the mountains this morning to hike my regular trails with Keith & Sherlock. We went farther than I've gone since I broke my wrist, though not as high as where I was at the time of the break. I felt good hiking today & was able to jog here & there. I still won't go there alone, not sure I ever will again.

Soon we are taking Sherlock to the new pet store for a bath. After we drop him off Keith will go to the Y. My plan was to try & swim again while Keith worked out but the pool is closed for the camp children. I guess I will go on the treadmill & see if there is any weight equipment I can use.

Nope - I'll leave that pricey chore, along with rabies shots and required licensing to them. I have complete confidence that none of this will be done.

I doubt it too. Is there a pitt rescue group that would help connect them to free, or reduced rate spaying?

Here's my Question for BK. Last night I was watching for the first time, THE SOUND & THE FURY on TCM. I suddenly recognized the haunting main theme music by Alex North and realized it was also a song I had heard. I could even remember some of the lyrics to it. I not only knew it, but was pretty sure I owned a recording of it. Sure enough, after a little internet research, I realized I had it on an old PLATTERS album of golden hits...though I don't think this was a hit for them and, in fact, was the "b" side of ENCHANTED. TCM notes said a theme song was supposed to have been written by North and Sammy Cahn, but never came about. This is, of course, inaccurate, as the Platters hit is credited to North and Cahn and definitely uses the main theme from the film. I noticed the Varese Sarabande has released the soundtrack album. Did this happen in your sojourn there, BK? Is the song, either by the Platters or anyone else, featured on the album? Do you have any further info or insights on the song, such as who else may have recorded it? It's a lovely number, perfect for a Damone or Sinatra, but apparently never made the hit parade. Any thoughts would be appreciated it.

Also watching HARPER last night, also on TCM, an instrumental version of Killing Me Softly With His Song, is threaded through the score. Was the song written for the movie or just utilized in it? Again, no lyric or sung version appears in the film.

I'll have to find the CD and check it out. As to Killing Me Softly, I'm pretty sure you're mistaking what you heard for that song - I don't think it was written yet but there are a few Andre Previn tracks and the Johnny Mandel stuff and it may have sounded similar.

Not locally. (This is the type of service the Animal Rescue League used to perform before it "went away".)

I, on the other hand, am safely home. We took off about forty-five minutes late thanks to JFK being one of the most ineptly run airports in the country. They had us taxiing for takeoff, then stopped us and we sat where we were for forty-five minutes because of the traffic buildup. If you can't handle the traffic then figure it out or have the airlines have less flights. We arrived home, however, only twenty minutes late.

The airport can control the number of flights ("slots") but have no controll over airline scheduling; it is the pile up of numerous airlines all scheduling departures at the same key hours that causes the runway log-jams. To complicate matters, the controllers often force the planes to depart the gate on time(even if it means a long delay on the tarmac, in order to accommodate landing flights.

BK, both Julieanne and I heard KIlling Me Softly that threaded through the score, usually somewhere in the scenes with Newman and Woodward. I didn't notice who did the score and if it was the same composer of the original song, but we're both pretty sure that was the song we heard.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #116 on:** August 17, 2011, 02:38:04 PM »

Julieanne's pretty sure she saw the tune listed in the end credits as well.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #117 on:** August 17, 2011, 02:42:38 PM »

According to wikipedia. An instrumental version was indeed used in the drowning pool and Charles fox received credit for conductor and composer.

I thought you were talking about Harper - Harper was filmed prior to the song being written. The Drowning Pool was the sequel in the 70s.
