... upon my return from the hospital without my tonsils and adenoids.

Ah, yes...starting to misplace things at an early age, were you?

This has been a long day. i left City Center, happy that Josh and I have produced a beautiful vocal score. On the bus, I checked my phone messages: too many tension-filled ones about things, not all of them pleasant and one of them jeopardizing the recording, which concerns me. I hate to keep begging for vines, but I need some today beofre this project falls apart because of someone flying off the handle.

While driving about in the car Woody commented that it was time to put in a new CD because we were listening to the same one again;” I know”, said I. “This time I want to concentrate on the orchestrations.” The orchestration of “Don’t Fence Me In” (of all things) had got my attention –so I tuned out Miss Luker, and concentrated on the accompaniments.

If that's all that was wrong with Cabaret, it obviously could have been fixed years ago - it's not like they didn't have the tools then.  This just reeks of something or other.

Back from errands and whatnot and the ordeal of trying to put gas in the motor car - every gas station I went to, the network was down so it had to be cash.  I finally just went to an ATM and did it but that whole deal took thirty minutes that I do not have today.

eBlast is ready to go.

[Jane]

I don't think that this has been mentioned here (yet), but J.K. Rowling's next book: 'The Casual Vacancy.'

I forwarded this article to our adult fiction selector and she had me put in a temporary record in our catalog...I placed the first request.

Is this for hardcover only?  It seems the libraries are getting fewer eBooks.  I read the publisher's don't want to sell them to libraries.

I have to leave in an hour.

Nice doggie. Big doggie.

Great big ball of fur

My amazon review is up!  I'm afraid it's short, but sincere!

[Jane]

My library did not do that, George. No new J.K. listed.

My library doesn't have it either.  Currently the hardcover is $20. & the eBook $19.99

I think the title was only announced today.  It is supposed to come out in September i think. I need to read what it is about.

That's correct.  They only announced the title and publication date...which just happens to be my sister's birthday.  It's not even available for pre-ordering on Amazon.

The Harry Potter books are FINALLY available as e-books AND for libraries, so I would assume (but you know what that means) that this will also be available to libraries.  The article makes it sound like a physical CD won't be available, though...just the audio download.  It doesn't mention a paperback, so it's the hardback only, at first.

TOD:  My mother used to tell me how I would listen over and over to a 45 rpm record with the lyrics "Down by the station, Grand Central Station..."  I vaguely remember it. 

[KevinH]

I hope DR TCB will be back soon!  I miss his great sense of humor!

[George]

Nope...I'm wrong.  Amazon has a listing for an audio CD, but not a downloadable audio.

TOD:

Earliest memories are listening to Gracie Fields broadcasting from England during the War; that plus Kate Smith were my early radio day music memories.

In elementary school years my folks had a 78 Phonograph and my Mother loved playing “The Ink Spots”  I had been given an album set of a narrated Peer Gynt (with Grieg’s Music).

The first pop song I remember singing was a Sammy Kaye ditty:

Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la
Check-a-la romey in a bananika
Bollika, wollika, can't you see
Chickery chick is me?

My next favorite was Gene Autry’s “Home On the Range”.

Fifth grade brought about Violin Lessons so I was all about Humoresque and Barcarolle

Junior High meant Music Appreciation class and The New World Symphony and Pictures at an Exhibition were favorites.

By the time Mom the folks were home listening to Bing Crosby’s Blue Hawaii album, I was off discovering Eartha Kitt and The Weavers.

All time favorite classical:

Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini and Franck’s Symphony in D

I guess it's non-PC to say how much I enjoyed the annual Minstral shows.

Give it a month or two. The title was just announcd today. No library is going to have it in their system yet. But considering who the author is you can be sure most libraries will get it.

I shall now be on my way to Ventura county.  Please send lots of excellent vibes and xylophones for no rain on my way home.

Wonderful review, dear reader KevinH.

[KevinH]

I'm glad you like it, BK!

BLAME CANADA!

...a group of libraries in Nova Scotia have also announced a boycott of Random House ebooks.

AND THERE IS THIS

Penguin pulled its books from library distributor Overdrive because it distributed Penguin’s ebooks to Amazon’s Kindle Lending Library — which had no contract with Penguin allowing them to do so.  But that meant that most libraries in the country couldn’t get ebooks of Penguin titles. As a School Library Journal report notes, Penguin’s move proved temporary, but it had a “chilling effect” on libraries doing business with the company.

Meanwhile, of the remaining Big Six publishers, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan, simply don’t sell ebooks to libraries.

The fuss centers on the publisher's desire to limit the numer of readings of an Ebook sold to a library.
