Well, you've read the notes, the notes were on the boards, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently on the boards reading vile criticisms about themselves.

And the word of the day is: LAMIA!

A perfect word to describe our haineshisway.com troublemaker.

bk - I liked the notes. As regards the reviews on a certain well-known Blu-ray website, did you read the plot description of "Accident"? I have rarely read such nonsense.

It's a sunny day and I'll soon be off on my drive to Wales.

I have 4 volumes of Noël Coward songs. Volume 1 (1928-1932), Volume 2 (1932-1936), Volume 3 (1932-1943) Volume 4 (1944-1951). These are all songs written and sung by Coward with the exception 5 which he does with Gertrude Lawrence. The are recordings I bought in Montreal imported from London where the recordings are no longer under copyright.

Even the Broadway cast recording of My Fair Lady is no longer under copyright in England.

How did the quote under my avatar become "Be careful out there" I wonder - I don't recall changing it.

Is it a visit from someone on - Angel Street?

FJL · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2013, 03:41:13 AM »

Actually, does anyone have a printout of a page recently? Has "Be careful out there" actually been there all along and maybe got there by some default when I changed my avatar from a photo to the stage door icon?

Good morning, all! Today is the birthday of William Shakespeare, and I may celebrateit tonight by watching one of his plays on DVD. I'm partial to these DVDs:
Much Ado About Nothing (the Joseph Papp production with Sam Waterston, Kathleen Widdoes, and my beloved Barney Hughes)
Henry V (I like both Olivier and Branagh productions)
Twelfth Night (the Trevor Nunn film)

Last night I slept terribly: too much tsuris over the DEAREST ENEMY liner notes, and I must deal with issues on that today. I dreamed I was back at The Drama Book Shop, which was located on a street somewhere between Seventh Avenue and 52nd Street and Oz. At 5:30 Iwaswide awake with the DEAREST ENEMY song "Bye and Bye" running through my mind.

Today, i have a date with my colleague Peter Foley to print and bind full scores for ROBERTA. I hope it goes well. We have to use the huge binder, and I've never worked with it. We'll bind three copies: one for me, and two for the conductor and the producer.

The TOD:
If Love Were All
That Is The End Of The News
Mad Dogs And Englishmen
I've Been To A Marvelous Party
Sail Away
London Pride
I'll Follow My Secret Heart (the verse is better than the refrain)

Good morning, all.

I'll second Mike's notion: Perhaps Twilight Time shouldn't supply review copies to these idiots.

Vibes to all, especially travel vibes for TCB and kitchen vibes for Danise.

I also love some of his Cole Porter spoofs, in particular his twisted take on "Weren't We Fools":

Weren't we fools
To say goodbye.
You chose your brother,
So did I.

DR FJL I think when you make a change ALL of your past posts reflect that change....I think.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 23, 2013, 07:38:34 AM »

I now have a spiffy new 3.0 modem so that I can take advantage of the COMCAST Super Speed that has been introduced. I do seem to be running a bit faster....we shall see.

DR VIXMOM your envelope was posted this morning via FIRST CLASS so you should have it sometime before summer. I also included a copy of my audition disk that contains PIPPIN music only tracks so that you can sing along whenever you wish.

Perhaps Twilight Time shouldn't supply review copies to these idiots.

It's not the reviewers...it's the forum "members". The reviewers tend to be fair. It's the precious "few members" who lead the pack away from truth and into nasty comments.

For instance, if anyone here has the Blu ray of "Howard's End" on the Criterion label, I hope your experience is as great as mine was. It's a gorgeous transfer.

At one forum, a band of misbegots complained it was an unwatchable mess...that they didn't even have a viewable image. When others of us said ours were beautiful, they decried us a liars and fiends and apologists and stockholders, etc., etc.

When a mob mentality, no matter how small the mob, tackles an issue, they have no tolerance for anyone with a different point of view. I don't doubt they were having issues with their copies. And it may have been their copies, but it also could have been how their particular machines were reading code on the Blu ray discs. I grant you, this should never be an issue when playing Blu ray discs on various brands of machines. And if it is, then the fault must lie in the coding, IMO. But to say that what I see isn't gorgeous when it is, just because theirs isn't, is ridiculous.
