Well, you've read the notes, the notes were about BK and BK, and now it is time for you to post until BK's cows come home.

ASK BK

RE: silent films

Did the studios send out a music score to be played along side the film or did the person/people improvise to what was happening on the screen?

I think it would be an interesting experiment if some company who releases silent films, create a separate audio track that would allow you to choose the music (public domain) to score the different scenes. e.g. A chase scene could use The William Tell Overture. The various choice could be at the bottom of the screen and one would use their remote to choose the music.

Good morning, all! I am in a great mood today; I'm seeing the new musical ONCE at the New York Theatte Workshop. It's sold out for the entire run which ends on Jan 7, and on Feb 28, the production will transfer to Broadway. I'm a big fan of the film, and I hope the musical is half as good. Report at 5.

I'm meeting my friend Rob at noon for lunch before the show, and until then I will work on the ROBERTA scores. That's my day.

Ron and Dona Raines are having their Christmas brunch after all, it seems, although Charlotte had posted several weeks ago that it was off. I've got to finish shopping for them, and I need to find a god new fantasy novel for Charlotte. Thoughts to occupy my waking hours.

It's been decades since I thought of "Dear Brigitte." I would love to see it again. I remember enjoying it when I was a kid.

I loved Ed Wynn in "Mary Poppins," but I agree that he could be grating. Still, I have an autographed self-portrait in doodle hanging in my work room, although I see it's hidden by DVDs at the moment.

Cherry loaves sound great. Will have to look for a recipe for something like that. Any more details? Pie cherries or dried? Nuts?

"Dear Brigitte" has always been one of my favorites.

I have some kind of minor eye infection or something that is making my eyes swollen......most becoming.

DR ELMORE we will expect a full ONCE report.

I guess you should know before watching the clip that Julian Eltinge was a female impersonator.

Me too. Good to know that the German Blu is of good quality.

I had stupidly forgotten to bring the Christmas cards with me which I'd intended to hand out at the reunion lunch, so I have just had to mail them.

Loads of shopping today. I seem to have run out of everything - the fridge is emply!

Wednesday morning greetings! The butter is softening for the first of 3 varieties of Christmas cookies. I will spend the better part of the next 4 days in the kitchen and at the package-wrapping table.

Glove recovery vibes for DR GINNY.

At least you didn't throw them in the mailbox!

I don't believe I've ever seen SEVEN CHANCES, though I do have it in a Keaton box set I got years ago. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

I do love THE GENERAL and STEAMBOAT BILL, JR.

Thanks, JRand, but they're gone - probably on some homeless person who will show up today in my former workplace...

My best bet is to go to Target and get a new pair.

BK, you share initials with another BK, one who may or may not be married to JMK.

We had a nice first night of Chanukah last night. I gave Betsy a collection of politically incorrect gifts which I dare not even describe here, other than to say it's been an inside joke for most of this year and something which she finds appalling, but she did laugh heartily.

Yesterday XM's Chanukah channel started, and I had to laugh when the late Debbie Friedman's Latke Song came on. Christmas songs are usually wonderfully poetic; the Latke Song's lyric contains the timeless chorus "I am a latke/I am a latke/You must eat me for Chanukah."

I was optimistic on my price when we were discussing movie posters earlier this week.....Attack of the 50 Foot Woman....half sheet poster on EBAY.....BIN Price.....$3999 - if anyone is still looking for a present for me.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #25 on:** December 21, 2011, 07:33:55 AM »

DR DRUXY....if you are a Keaton fan from those other two films.....I do think that you will enjoy SEVEN CHANCES immensely!!!

In yesterday's mail I received my 2012 American Library Association membership card. Under "Years of Continuous Membership" it says 40. How did that happen?

You're doing better than me. I hope to get mine out by New Year's. And those are just to family.

I think a 50-foot woman might be cheaper.
