Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of four tracks, and now it is time for you to post until the first four cows come home.

It's morning and it's bright and sunny after yesterday's torrential deluge.

TOD:
I've always wondered what happened to the film Outback which I saw when it was released in 1971 and which I've never seen since. Made in Australia it was a fascinating, allegorical film about a city dweller who finds himself stuck in a small uncivilised town.

EDIT - After writing that I have found out that the Australian title was Wake in Fright and the film was considered lost for many years until 2009 and that it is now available on DVD and Blu-ray in Australia.

TOD

I would like to see the 1945 film Why Girls Leave Home because it has the only Academy Award nominated song, The Cat and THe Canary, I have never heard.

I would also like to see two other obscure films that had songs, which I have heard, nominated for Academy Awards: The Little Ark and Half A House.

The latter DR DRUXY conducted the Oscar campain for the song "A World There Never Was" by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster

The book was sent to the publisher last night. Now, I can't wait for their editing questions.

TOD: Sun Valley Serenade is a favorite of mine at Christmas that has never been released on DVD. I have seen it, though, so I don't think that quite counts.

I think I would like to see a DVD release of the telecast of some of those made-for-TV musicals that BK included on his "Prime Time" album, like Cole Porter's "Aladdin" and Hugh Martin's "Hans Brinker."

So, KevinH, would I, as a copy editor, have enjoyed "Close Up Space"? We don't get many plays.

I loved all of the pictures yesterday.....

DR GINNY'S tree and the picture from World of Wisdom.  thanks for posting, I lost that in one of my computer crashes before I was smart enough to buy an external hard drive.

And of course DR CILLA LIZ'S spiffy newspaper photo!!!

TOD:

to begin with

The High Powered Rifle - the only Allison Hayes film I have never seen

The Party Crashers - with Ms. Frances Farmer's last appearance, available home-grown, but very DARK.

It's raining and I had a weird dream and am up - for the time being.  Perhaps I'll go back to bed soon, since again I didn't get to sleep until two and four hours is not enough.

Re:  the new Guy Haines album-- I guess it depends what those other 10 songs are and what would be the best arrangements of them.  Some songs are just fine with a small group; some are better witht the whole orchestra.

Well, either way it won't be a huge orchestra, but one can get very nice sound out of a ten-piece group if the orchestrator knows what he's doing.

Monday morning greetings!  It's just past 9am and the morning has already been frustrating.  I'm trying to help my Mom straighten out the mess she's made with her checking account and I don't have all the details.  She's not going to like what I have to tell her and I have a feeling the day is going to get worse before it gets better.

Thank you, DRs Doug R, John G, and JRand, for the nice comments about our Christmas tree.  It's 7 feet tall (artificial) and even Richard has to stand on a stool to put the crown on top.  That crown was made about 40 years ago by my grandmother.

Good morning, all! I've been awake for nearly two hours. Discounting the time to bathe and dress, most of my time was spent answering an email from The Man From Philadelphia. I had bizarre dreams about FOLLIES - I rememebr Rebecca Luker was in the dream with me and we were backstae - and a nighmare that left me unsettled around 12:50 AM.

Today, I have the Lincoln Center NYPL and Richard Rodgers' personal scrapboks, which I've never looked at before. I've got to look at 1925 and 1926 for info on DEAREST ENEMY, but I'd like to look at the one for this epic flop CHEE-CHEE as well. I have more work (and more and more to follow that) on ROBERTA here, and work on prep for the May release of the Herbert songs and lieder.

DR Ginny, you'll have to photograph the tree again so we can see the tree's crown. It looks quite lovely.

DR Laura, I send my condolences to you and the family of Aunt Pearl.

DR John G, good news on the book.

More coffee!
