I also spent the afternoon watching a telefilm starring Druxy's former client Larry Drake.

I thought that Larry Drake was DR Charles Pogue's friend?

Oh, well, I knew it was someone here.   ;D

Here is a picture of my new friend Dama who I met last night in West Hollywood. He is from Turkey and has been living in Los Angeles for 3 years, but he doesn't like it.

Dama is a fitness model/waiter/personal trainer. He modeled for several fitness magazines and was kind enough to send me one of his photos...I hope it isn't too risque for this family site.

We found a common bond in Turkish pop music and I really liked him for his brain.



Oh my my my!

Off to start cataloging the immense supplements included on the new JURASSIC PARK set.  I have me quite a writing task ahead.

I had to review FROM PRADA TO NADA.  Sad to say, I was largely unimpressed.

The songs for the STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL were by none other than Maury Yeston.

I also just reviewed a Rudy Maxa travel title where he visited HAMPTON COURT.

I'm feeling all synchronicitied out, thanks very much.

Where did you get the information that it was Maury Yeston?

It's printed on the dreadful album. I noticed that before I threw it out.

There was an album????

I am back from the 25th Anniversary production of The Phantom of the Opera.

I only saw it once before 24 years ago with the second cast leads.

I remember not liking it all that much.

BUT 24 years of been very kind and I absolutely loved. The staging is very close to the original but utilizing the space of Albert Hall complemented with projections.

The three leads were excellent.

To see it projected on a large screen in a digital format was spectacular.

I recommend it and suggest when it comes out of Bu Ray, and if you have a Blu Ray player and HD TV, that you should get it.

Only negative part of the experience was that the AC was out and made the theater a little uncomfortable, but the manager gave us a free film ticket. Good for any film except for 3D

There were two you boys (around 18,19) talking about current "great" composers on Broadway. I had to bite my tongue when one said BONO was a great composer!!

I weep for the next generation of musical theater goers.

They brought out 4 former phantoms. I recognized Colm Wilkenson and Anthony Warlow. I didn't stay for the credits to see who the other two were. They sang a couple of songs. Sarah Brightman was also there and she sang.

Michael Crawford was there but didn't sing.

So...

A couple of hours ago, I buckled down my winsocki, and started some score prep and study for/of The Boys from Syracuse. I had my piano/vocal score, a PDF of some of the selections from the 1938 version, and three different recordings cued up on iTunes. Of course, the one recording I "need" - the London cast - is the one I don't have, and all the listing for new and used copies on Amazon have conflicting information. Anyhoo...

I went song by song, listening to each version one after the other, making some notes on paper and in my scores. By the time I got to the end of Act 1, I had to stop, put my shoes on, step outside and walk a few blocks to a pizza place to get some dinner... And that didn't occur until a little after 10:00pm.

I'll tackle Act 2 tomorrow.

Otherwise...

I spent some time with my friend, Brendan, earlier today. We headed into Brooklyn for lunch at Waffle & Wolf, and then stopped at Blue Bottle for some coffee and dessert.

My "waffle taco" from Waffle & Wolf was quite tasty, and my latté from Blue Bottle had to be one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Oh, and the cookies were killer too: Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and a Snickerdoodle made with Saffron.

Ginny and Richard are either awake and having a grand time in Europe or they are sleeping off their jet lag.

Either way, I"m jealous. They are in Europe and I'm not.

DR Ben, when you posted this we were, indeed, awake and having a grand time, but we're both about to crash and sleep off the jet lag.

When our captain came on last night and announced that we were experiencing a little turbulence as we flew over the New York area, I figured it was created by all our friends there waving at the same time...

:)

Keith's aunt & cousin just returned from NY and said the weather there was better than in L.A.  I was invited to join them & regretfully had to decline. 

It's been quite nice in NYC that past couple of days. Summer did creep back for a bit over the past few days, but, still, it was nice. Of course, the rain is supposed to return tomorrow. Ah, well.

Back from seeing the lagoon that was used in ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES and many, many other films....walked all around it with Scott and Mark. Then they took me up to see the Hollywood sign. We got as close as we could without getting arrested. They found a secret trail to it, but we did not go all the way up...it is a looooong trail.

That paragraph is rife - rife, I tell you! - with innuendo. Alas, knowing DR MBarnum, there probably wasn't any innuendo intended. ::)

Had a pretty interesting call from a very well-known songwriter - asking if I'd be interested in issuing a cast album that was recorded but not released.  I said of course, of course, and it's being sent to me via Fed Ex.  I'm sure I'll like it so it would be a matter of the deal we might strike - I know the songwriter has talked to others, so I'll simply ask him what they've offered and then beat it.

OMG, THE CAPEMAN finally sees the light of day.  :)

Or LESTAT!

Oooo!  That would be cool, too!

;)

DR George - Well... If you want Lestat...

*And if you happen to have the London revival cast recording of The Boys from Syracuse, well...
