I had never seen one like him DR DtM. He seems to be wearing some kind of band uniform....he has epaulettes on his shoulders, a big smile, and a curl in the middle of his forehead.

FOLLIES has been ordered.

I am enjoying the music from ONE MAN TWO GOVNORS a lot.....skiffle music, Beatles type music, a Kinks type song....and a girl grouop...PLUS a car horn version of "The Brighton Line" - makes me want to see the show even more.

All of the songs are short - as they should be in the context of the play, I guess.....but they are most enjoyable!

Last night's Family Night went well....of course the man with the MOST people in the audience......whose wife had the video camera on him....walked out and promptly skipped about four pages of dialogue.

I'll see if I can scan a page from a catalogue tonight when I get home.

Question for BK:

What are your own answers to yesterday's TOD? Favorite cast recording? Best sounding cast recording? Worst?

What cast recording would you like to get your hands on to remix, remaster, retinker, etc.?

Damn. Yesterday got crazy and I completely forgot to get back to the TOD.

Hoping today will be better. Hoping is the word, not sure if will actually happen. Off to camp, I'll try not to physically harm anyone today

Better vibes for DR MATTHEW....your yesterday sounds like some of the theatre days I have experienced. That is why I gave up CHILDREN'S THEATRE....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #44 on:** July 11, 2012, 07:55:02 AM »

I would like to see that DR DtM!!

My question for ASK BK day.....is the CBS Radford Studio you live near the old Republic Studios? Whatever happened to Vera Ralston's ice skating stage? I wondered if they paved it over.......

TOD: What is the worst sound you've heard on an original cast recording, BK?

I have heard plenty of OBCs that I consider aurally dead, so flat that they bore the ear. Seussical was one. The recording is inert, yet I was pleasantly surprised by how vibrant and wonderful the music was when I heard it in the theater.

And I am back from the post office! The weather is quite humid and I am drying off with the aid of 3 oscillating fans and the AC.

I need to continue the intern search and send an invoice to The Man From Philadelphia.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 11, 2012, 08:29:24 AM »

I would say the worst sounding OBC recordings of all times are the early 1950s Rodgers & Hammerstein shows PIPE DREAM and ME AND JULIET. Icannot believe how dull and poor the cast and orchestra sound on both of them.

The CBS Radford Studio IS the old Republic Studios.

There's two R&H shows I've never heard or seen - in any way, shape or form.

Was anyone able to get things back on track? Or did the play continue without the revelations of the missing four pages?

They are pretty bad. I give a slight edge to "Me and Juliet," but only slight.

Nothing yet, but I'm now looking at a few other things that are possibilities.

Best sounding - most of the Columbia recordings from the late 1950s on, but especially Gypsy (NOT the re-mixed version by Tom Shepard, which should be removed from the market place) and Subways are for Sleeping. Worst? Almost any RCA from the 1960s - including the original Hello, Dolly! and 110 in the Shade - the latter, I suspect, could be helped sound better. There are a few I wouldn't mind redoing, just to show people how much better something could sound.

DR RLP - the other three people tried...but the perp was determined to soldier on.....so eventually he said: "Maybe Miss Willie will bring Mrs. Savage on now....."

He was thinking I am sure that everyone else was crazy and that Shalynn had missed her cue.

Bat Boy is terrible-sounding, completely dead. And, I hate to say it, the new recording of Follies, which people are drooling over on the various boards, is not to my liking at all - recorded in a dead room, no reverb (that I can hear) added - that's how to take and orchestra of twenty-eight and make them sound like nineteen. The vocals are dead, the dialogue is dead - when I was listening to our remixes, I'd occasionally A/B them with the first Follies release and then the new recording - it was - illuminating.

I suppose I'm up. Once again, despite being really overtired, it took me over an hour to fall asleep. Then I dreamt that the doorbell rang, which woke me up and which I thought was real - that was thirty minutes ago - it wasn't real, except for the waking me up part.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #59 on:** July 11, 2012, 09:10:08 AM »

On the original HELLO, DOLLY! LP from RCA Victor, there is someone shouting something during "Put On Your Sunday Clothes"....shouting someone's name.....it sounds like they holler "Jack".....and for years when I listened with my headphones, I thought someone was yelling my name and I would take off the headphones and yell back..."WHAT???"
