A (non-Wednesday) Question for BK:

I'm curious.  On the three-movie Friedhofer CD, why did you decide to put three soundtracks together on one release?  Since one of the soundtracks is one full CD, why not have the other two on their own CD?  Not that anyone would mind, I'm sure...getting three soundtracks for the price of one, but I'm just curious.

Hello, everyone! I got to DC around 11:30 yesterday morning to discover that the Capitol Hill Suites at present have no business center with computer access. sSce I didn't take my laptop, I couldn't check in on the HHW goings on. By 5:00 yesterday, I'd been through all of the cartons of music for ROBERTA in the Jerome Kern Collection, I photocopied two scores I needed for the files, the copyright libretto for the show titled GoWNS BY ROBERTA, and looked at the copyright libretto for JUBILEE, which included the cut songs "Waltz Down the Aisle" and "Yours" and was missing "Mrs & Mrs Smith," "Just One Of Those Things," and "Swing That Swing."

Then, librarian Loras Schissel and I hit a Mexican restaurant for a wonderful dnner and large margaritas. I got back to the hotel around 7:30, watched an episode of THE MENTALIST and passed out around 9pm.

This morning I looked at the show music files for CHEE-CHEE, ROBERTA (film songs) and GOWNS BY ROBERTA (Broadway songs), photocopied the five songs from CHEE-CHEE, said goodbye toeveryone nd got to Union Station around 10:30, exchanged my ticket for the 11:02 train to New York, and got home about an hour ago.

I got an email from New World Records enclosing a review. Nigel Simeone gave the Herbert songs a fantastic and intelligent review in the new issue of the International Record Review that shows how condescending and ridiculous Steve Suskin of Playbill.com and Richard Traubner of the American Record Guide are as reviewers and what a large amount of gall they have to consider themselves music critics.

Congrats on the intelligent review, Larry!

JRand, I'm getting a Toshiba with Windows Home Premium 7. It's about $425 plus all the taxes and everything. 4G of memory, film editing options, advanced photo equipment. And a good keyboard. THe keyboard is probably my favorite aspect of it.

Ah very nice.  I noticed at WalMart today, there was only ONE computer on the shelves.....which usually happens when there is a turnover in the Windows OS.....and I haven't heard very good reports on Windows 8.

When I bought my computer, I paid for the XP downgrade.  I have the Vista disc, if I ever want to upgrade to that.  I don't know when I'll need a new computer, but I'm sure that whenever that happens, I'll just get whatever OS is available...hopefully, that won't happen for a very long time.

Back from a really fun meeting with agent Martin Gage of The Gage Group.  I've known him for forty years.  I promised him a year ago when he saw Lost and Unsung that I would give him There's Mel and then I just kept forgetting about it, so today I brought him that and Album Produced By.  We had a nice chat and by the end of it, he signed me on as a client, for mostly directing, but he'll handle any writing deals should any come up and he'll get my books out to some film and TV people (especially the Hofstetter books).  So, I have an agent for the first time since David and my agent left William Morris about eight years ago.  He also has a huge client list, so we bandied about some names for Outside The Box.  He's going to call one actor in particular about one of the episodes we're shooting next.

I have tried to paste and copy the review from the pdf I was sent, and I can't accomplish it.  I wish I had more computer skills than eBay and eMail.

Also, DR Cillaliz, re: the new/fired cat sitter.

You had mentioned that you knew many people who had used her and said she was great. Did she clean/reorganize for these people? Did none of these people have cats that needed meds?

I think she meant well. So I could see why people might like her if there were no problems. But not calling you ... and you coming back to a hysterical cat. Not good. She is experienced. She should have known better.




Well, i think what she does is take care of cats for the people she cleans for.  She didn't say that she had given meds before, but she led me to believe it was not a problem

DR Cillaliz, if you don't want to watch political ads why not just PVR/DVR your shows and fast forward thru the commercials?

I do sometimes. Our political ads started 6 months before the caucuses, so in about June or July of 2011.  They really haven't stopped completely since then. You can't DVR everything all the time   I'm sure it's the same or even worse for DR Ginny.

FRIDAY!!!

Very excited about the premiere of the new Outside the Box.....sounds like a perfect time/place for the PREMIERE. I hope you have a red carpet!!!

DR CILLA LIZ - great new avatar....whew!  What a story.  I hope Miss Callie is doing better today.

Yesterday sister Molly and husband Austin visited for awhile with one of their doggies....Lulu....a miniature Boston terrier....who is VERY FAT....didn't get pictures darn it!    Precious looked her over and then went and hid until Lulu went home.  I am thinking maybe her former owners got a new dog and that's when she was given the heave ho.....

Miss Callie is doing quite well now.   I have to admit I'm pretty concerned about traveling at this point.  I have had trouble in the past with both a live in cat sitter and boarding one of my cats.  Now, I've had this problem.  I'm not very trusting about leaving them with anyone

Well, it's time for me to head out.  I'm working concessions for a show downtown and it should be fun.

Have a good rest of the evening, all!

One of my biggest deterrents to getting a cat, aside from the fact my eyes itch & my shoulder doesn't want to change a kitty litter, is house sitter's for them.   More & more there seem to be professional pet sitters, many whom are retired.  Maybe you can find someone like that.

Well, it probably looked easy enough to do when watching an expert.
