Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a place called home, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently looking for a place called home.

This went unanswered a few days ago, so I'll try again:

Question for BK:

If memory serves, when you left Varese Sarabande you took your catalog to The Label Whose Name Can Not Be Spoken (TLWNCNBS).

With the demiise of the high-jacked TLWNCNBS, what happened to the catalog?

I ask becasue I was looking up the Cast Reording for PLAY ON and found no new producers (just off label sellers).

Or do I need to wait for the book?

I thought a "pastie" was something Gypsy wore.

I await with "eagar anticipation" ("bated breath" is on Holiday) to try the "buttered peans".

I'll leave the "Spotted DicK" jokes to thr serfs.

Re BK's notes about bottled water. It certainly has become a huge industry and it seems as if no-one can travel about without the obligatory water bottle. In the London Underground (subway) they actually have notices in the summer recommending that you don't travel unless you have water with you - as if you're about to take a dangerous trek across the desert! Mind you, the London Underground is probably hotter than the desert in the height of summer.

Good morning, all! I had a long convoluted dream that I hated to leave: I was at a concert of something I'd worked on and Sergeant Aborn, of Tams-Witmark, was there' he mentioned he had a project that he would like me to look at. Then my friend Curtis and I were producing a series of recordings of "high school musicals" for Tams-Witmark. We invaded this rehearsal space and all these associates of Curtis' were singing and playing music as we rehearsed the first musical. Then the alarm went off.

Today, I will take the proof of the vocal score to City Center and go over fixes with Joshie. It's the first day of the PIPE DREAM rehearsal, so I may stop in and say hello to Rob, Mark, and others. I'm helping him proof the new scores for the Victoria Mallory-Kurt Peterson act that Jonathan Tunick is scoring.

DR Der Brucer, I can't guarantee that I am completely correct about BK's catalogue of recordings, but I believe TLWNCNBS, when the creeps folded it, remaindered all of the CDS. When I need a promo copy, I go to Amazon.com marketplace and look for the cheapest "very good" used copy. I would never buy from them after 2001, and now that they're out of business, I feel I did my bit to help it along.

And now . . . more coffee.

DR Elmore I am also confused about your twitter problems. When you go on twitter you only see the tweets of the people you follow. But even if say you followed 500 people. Twitter even lets you put people into lists. So you can just view one category of people at a time. This is what I do. For example I follow alot of authors. I have them all in a folder called "authors". So any time I wat I can just look in that list and I see only their tweets.

Jennifer · « **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2012, 06:12:11 AM »

The weather is mild here. But i am excited for next week when the temps are supposed to be very mild. It is supposed to be 60s to around 70. I am gonna get my bike out!

I think my allergies are acting up....something is amiss.

If DR JMK gives and interview and no one on HHW hears it, did he really give an interview?

I was astounded to read in this morning's paper that they had 8 inches of snow at the coast yesterday.

I was also astounded to discover that I cannot get the 3rd CD of the new BEN HUR set out of the damned case.

Ben · « **Reply #26 on:** March 14, 2012, 07:15:35 AM »

Opening the case is easy but getting the da** disc out of the case is becoming increasingly more difficult. Is it because I'm getting old???

I seem to be getting as well the damned tweets of every person I'm following, not simply their tweets. I wouod swear everyone tweeting our E&T DR Jose, for exammple, is also sending them on to me. So, I have to say that, even if I weren't sifting through a million of "I'm at the bakery," the pornographic ones an orchestrator friend sends out thinking he's funny, as well as the others are a perfect waste of time and sense.

It doesn't help either that there seems to be no way to contact the fools running this stupid concept.
