My question for ASK BK day - what was the NAME of your telephone exchange when you were growing up?

I had two - first LYceum 7 and then the one I still have VErnon 1....although it is now 831.

The actual real numbers are in the Kritzer books, but it was first TExas, which changed to UPton in the early 1960s.

This is what made me think of it......

The first preview of "Les Miz":

http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/les-miserables-movie-trailer/5mu4b3c?from=dest_en-us&src=v5%3ashare%3asharepermalink%3a

That is a movie that I will actually see in a theater.

Now, if they will film RAGTIME, I will really be happy.
I agree with you on that one.

I would LOVE to see a film of the musical RAGTIME. :D

Re: THE BRIDGE

The Oresund Bridge is a wonderful engineering feat. I travelled across it by rail from Copenhagen to Malmo (it's a road and rail bridge) shortly after it was completed. It's Europe's longest bridge and what is also remarkable is that it's part tunnel, part bridge and exits the tunnel on a man-made island in the strait to become a bridge. From a distance it appears to miraculously arise out of the water.

Richard and I are now members of the new YMCA that's out by the hospital where I did my cardiac rehab.  I decided before we left for our trip that walking 'round and 'round in the basement was getting pretty boring.  The tendonitis that developed in my left ankle is much better, but I think some water activities might be a good idea to reduce the impact.

Very good move Ginny. I like our YMCA, although it is quite ancient. It is also 4 floors and I used to get lost in the maze of hallways and stairwells throughout. I would end up getting a workout just finding my way to the gymnasium! LOL!

I had a nice call last night from a journalist in India who writes for a "prominent daily" (as she put it). She wanted to interview me regarding my Bollywood blog and my interest in Hindi films...Indians are always very surprised to find Americans who like Bollywood.

It was a fun interview, even if very little of what I said was used. And some of what I said was misquoted (I really haven't seen a thousand Hindi films, not yet, and I don't know the Hindi language quite as well as the article makes it sound)...but it is a fun read and I am certainly honored that anyone would want to call clear across the world to get my input on the subject  :)  And the interviewer was very sweet and complimentary.

You can read the article online here, if you like: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/desi-films-foreign-fans/955763/

Page three???  Perhaps if I mention the title that I may be able to give the Kritzerland remix treatment to that will get some posting going?  I do know Jane is not with us, but still...

So, while this is not 100% yet (the licensing has been cleared and they have the original eight-track session tapes - we're just trying to figure out how to get them to me - whether they do the work in making a Pro Tools session or whether we do) - the big question will be HOW this was recorded and how much separation there is between band and vocalists, but I think we're going to at least try it - it's generally considered to be one of the most frustrating cast albums ever released, not only because of the many cuts to the score (which we can do nothing about) but because the mix was done hastily and has always sounded weird and pretty bad.  The frustrating part is the cast, which will never be bettered and therefore this is still the definitive cast album for this title even with its flaws.  That said - if I can remix and smooth it out and make it at least sound much better, then it's worth doing, don't you think?

Can anyone guess the title?

Do you all remember my friend Lou Ann's son Zach? He's been in and out of hospital with lymphoma. They thought he was in remission but the doctors called him back to Houston for more tests.  His family is in fear that the tests will prove the cancer wasn't completely caught. He could sure use some mega vibes and prayers! I'll start.
