Well, you've read the notes, the notes had roots, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently looking for their roots but only finding their MOOts.

Good luck with the book, BK! I remember you mentioning some time ago that your new book was going to be non-fiction, so I wondered if that was going to be it.

I don't believe it! After all my work yesterday repairing the fence, it blew down again in the night during further gale winds and rain. Obviously I did a really thorough repair job!!

Morning all.

That is all.

Good morning, all! I slept quite well, with an obsessive dream about rewriting a transition in the Entr'Acte for DEAREST ENEMY. While I would like to pull out the score and examine those bars of music, I have to go to City Center this morning and help my surrogate son Joshie proof the new orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick for MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG. There will be several days of this task over the next couple of weeks before the orchestra rehearsals for the production.

Before I leave this morning, I'vbe got to get some more German-English lyrics for the Herbert songs cleaned up and sent to New World Records. First, I need more coffee.

The continuation of the BK story sounds great. Looking forward to it.

To answer Vixmom from last night: The police have done nothing further on the break-in, even with the added information on the other John Griffin also having been burglarized. I guess it wasn't important enough to follow up.

Huston, Flynn and Welles!

Wow!

If I listed all my favorite films from those 3, I'd be here all day.

I visited the set of Huston's last film, THE DEAD; got to watch him work for a day. My client, Dan O'Herlihy, was in that one.

Interestingly, I've written 1-person plays on 2 of these icons:

ERROL FLYNN

ORSON WELLES

Sorry about the commercial plug, but BK did open the door.

JMK · « **Reply #28 on:** January 05, 2012, 07:57:02 AM »

I am listening to a kind of weird compilation CD by Michel Colombier, whose work has been released by Kritzerland. Michel has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid and WINGS (his album, not the film) was released. The really funny thing is Michel got his start in musique concrete with Pierre Henry, and the first track on this CD has some odd early electronic music effects which completely startled our dog Blanche. She came running down the stairs this morning to see what horrible aliens were attacking us.
