Well, you've read the notes, the notes had the big picture, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently listening to MOOvie MOOsic.

Good morning, all.

I wanted more sleep, since I was up till All Hours, but the feline contingent insisted I rise and shine, so here I am -- feeling fine, actually.

Happy Labor, everyone.

It's tempting to list every popular film he composed for, but these are the ones I know and love for immediate recollection of the score as well as the film.

Touch of Evil
Peter Gunn
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Experiment in Terror
Days of Wine and Roses
Charade
The Pink Panther
The Great Race
Wait Until Dark

BTW, as I look through his credits, it's astounding how many famous titles there are for which he's uncredited -- Creature from the Black Lagoon, This Island Earth, Abbott and Costello films, etc.

Sorry to be reminded about the amplification at the Hollywood Bowl.  But of course it is EVERYWHERE, and it rarely sounds good.  

Saddest of all is its increased -- even expected -- use in regional/community theaters, in great old spaces where a whisper can be projected just fine, and its ubiquity in high school productions.  Even in plays.  And in the case of traditional musicals scored for unamplified performance, attempt at real live balance and nuance has for the most part been forgotten in many of these venues.

DR JRand62, does Putnam use amplification?  If so, is it necessary?

Good morning, all! I slept very late, not particularly by choice but because around 1:15, after 3 or so hours of sleep, I awoke obsessing over recording in Dublin. I spent a couple of sleepless hours fretting over logistics of recording Jerome Kern's ROBERTA and anxiety attacks over DEAREST ENEMY. Around 2:15 I turned on the lights, played at the computer for a bit, and went back to bed around 4:30, when there was no one left to pester on Facebook or nothing left to purchase on Amazon. I slept until 10am, and here I am, fretting on how well I'll sleep tonight. It's exhausting maintaining these neuroses.

Today, I'm not doing much.  I will listen here to the masters for EILEEN, and tomorrow at Toyland I'll listen on the superior sound system once owned by the late John McGlinn who never purchased anything cheap. I've got several DVDs I might watch, and I might have dinner with my good friend Bruce Pomahac, depending on his survival of two exhausting days of socialzing.

I had a nice email from former DR MattH , thanking me for my card and wishing everyone on HHW well.

With all due respect, DR Elmore is mistaken.  There is ALWAYS something left to purchase on Amazon.

Monday morning greetings!  We are still in the throes of what's left of Hurricane Isaac.  It has rained all morning and I feel sorry for folks that have big Labor Day outdoor plans.  All I have to do is go to the grocery...

I'm awake.   Feeling very unsettled today, and it's not about the show.  I had some dealings with personnel at church yesterday which is think is weighing heavily on my mind today.  Part of me is thinking I need to ask to have the name of my position changed from "Director" of Music Ministry to "Coordinator" of Music Ministry, because even with my direction, everyone seems to do whatever they want. 

And that's all I'll say about that.
