TWO!!!!

Isn't the word "two" odd? I mean, it's pronounced nothing really like it is spelled.

First post after Vixmom. Never been able to say that before.

You could have said it, but it just wouldn't have been true

Back again after the Prague tourist trip. Had a great time with my sister, brother-in-law and niece. Weather was wonderful as was the hotel and food. Prague seems to have more splendid eating and drinking places than anywhere else I know. The only thing we couldn't do was a river cruise because the boats haven't been re-positioned following the recent flooding along the river bank; although the river level was back to normal.

I was looking up some of the comedians who were in the show, along wit my cousin Ross last night, and BK's own Sandy Bainum was on this "Stand up comedy" site

So, here's a TV broadcast (not great sound): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBaAvLKTD3c

Here's another TV broadcast with much better sound (I don't know which was broadcast first): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjkv1_carpenters-from-this-moment-on_music#.Ub1xDtijLwk

And here is a fan-made (I think) video with better sound than the first that I listed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4gda_Z55rg

All three of these videos only have the solo piano accompaniment.

I've always loved this arrangement. This is a great story, DR George. Thanks for sharing it. Nice to hear that Richard was generous with sharing his arrangements.

One of the reasons I love the Carpenter's so much is the brilliance of Richard's arrangements. Richard was very specific with his work, so you know every note was written for each instrument as he allowed no improvisation by his musicians, especially on tour as he wanted the audience to experience the music they way it was recorded.

Good morning, all.

Boy, would I like to have slept in. But I can't today.

Coffee!

I'm up, I'm ready, and waiting for the car to arrive, after which I shall be on my way to the airport and then on my way to Washington DC. Send vibes and xylophones for a safe, secure, and on-time flight.

To add to that: Most of the corn produced nowadays is genetically modified, and it's said not to be too great for diabetics.

The notes have me looking forward to watching THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN. I've never seen it, and I did take a glance at the Blu-ray and there was no question about how great that looks. Glad to have the context, and now I know I'll enjoy it just fine.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** June 16, 2013, 06:17:37 AM »

Happy Father's Day, to BK and any and all other fathers out there!

My Harry & Marilyn Lewis book got here yesterday. Looks like fun. Maybe I'll get a chance to go through it this evening. Just flipping through it, I saw a few pictures of Hamburger Hamlets, so I really hope she provides some good info.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** June 16, 2013, 06:29:08 AM »

Well, that's it for me. Got to get a few things done around here, then off to rehearsal. I have absolutely no idea what to expect from this show, so it will be interesting. Back sometime this evening.
