Ta and Da

[Jane]

Bear, a New York City police dog who was injured while aiding in an arrest last week, was released from the vet yesterday — and greeted by a line of his four-footed colleagues!

It looks like Bear wants to spend some fun time with his friends.

[MBarnum]

Oh DR Ron Pulliam, but I do know from westerns!

My dad was a western fan, big time. THE VIRGINIAN, HIGH CHAPPERAL (sp), GUNSMOKE, and BONANZA were always on in our home.

As a teenager I began to watch BONANZA off and on when a particular favorite would be guest starring...like Gloria Talbott, Merry Anders, of Cal Bolder.

Lately, I have been watching WYATT EARP, which I find to be much better than I thought it would be. Also, the short lived series that starred John Gavin titled DESTRY is kind of fun and I am glad that I picked up the dvd set.

MAVERICK is another one that I enjoy seeing, and any episode of CHEYENNE where Clint Walker removes his shirt (which is just about every one) is a good episode.

[MBarnum]

You're sorta the MBarnum of the east coast, yes?

To paraphrase Babs (as Dolly): That would be for others to decide.     


But I will say this: I'm not nearly as handsome or as charming as DR MBarnum.

You are indeed, and moreso in fact! I know, I have met you!

[Jane]

I loved just about every western there was.  A few more of my favorites that have held up in re-runs are....

THE LAWMAN
THE RIFLEMAN
WAGON TRAIN

More later when I return.

[MBarnum]

DR JRand, I hope you day gets better..much better!

[MBarnum]

Oh yes, and we know why DR Jane liked THE LAWMAN so much!! Two words: Peter. Brown.







She still giggles like a school girl when you say his name around her.

Picked the first fig of the year from my tree this morning.

Not even figs...  Raisins.     

[singdaw]

I find it interesting (again, speaking as one who doesn't know from Westerns) that High Noon is always touted as one of the prime examples, yet I don't think I've seen it mentioned by any DRs here today.

[George]

Sorry; I don't know from Westerns.     

I vaguely remember watching reruns of "Bonanza" and "Wild, Wild West," but not much else.  Otherwise for movies..."Star Wars"?

What happens when you cross bagpipes with a flame-thrower?

  The soundtrack recording of the film version of A Little Night Music will finally be released (officially) for the first time on CD on Aug 13:
http://www.playbill.com/news/article/179554-A-Little-Night-Music-Film-Soundtrack-Will-Be-Released-on-Disc-for-First-Time


I had always heard that this would never happen because the sources had deteriorated too much. Happy news!

HOO AND RAY!!  Just a couple of months ago, I came across someone selling the soundtrack on CD on eBay, and I wanted to get it, but I knew that it would just be the album on a burned CD...and there was no telling if it sounded any good, so I didn't get it.  I can't believe that it's finally going to be offically released!!

[George]

Thursday.  Mercury in retrograde and this has not been a good day.  But we shall continue.

~~~Better Day Vibes for DR Jrand!!~~~

BK, did you thank Daphne, aka Robert Morse, for the nice note he'd sent on your Sugar remix?

I thought about it, but he was reading the newspaper and I'm shy about bothering people although I'm sure he would have been nice.

[John G.]

Looks like the people at Masterworks heard Larry's request

Masterworks will also release the 1972 U.K. musical, Cowardy Custard, the story of Noël Coward's life told through song and biographical snippets. It features such songs as "You Were There," "Mad About the Boy" and "Marvelous Party," sung by Tony Award winner Patricia Routledge. The double-CD album of the original Mermaid Theatre production will be released Sept. 10.

Will they release the two-disc "Cole" as well? That was one of my favorites. Love "Cowardy Custard," but "Cole" rules.

I understand.

I thought we were just doing TV.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller is at the top of my western movie list. The original 3:10 to Yuma is also up there.

Ah... you're right. That explains it!

Hello Everyone:

TOD:

Bonanza (Hand's Down)  I had such a crush on Pernel Roberts, Also Michael Landon
The Big Valley (Major crush on Peter Beck )  Also Lee Majors
Maverick ( Crush on James Garner

LOL, Sometimes I did enjoy the Stories!!

[bk]

So, are these Masterworks issues the first albums of show music that are properly released in oh what three years?  Everything else has been through Arkiv and burned CDRs.  If these are being released it's thanks to labels like Kritzerland because the same thing happened back in 1993 - no one doing anything until they see that someone else is having success - it's funny.  But if it's through Arkiv I just lose interest.  But if they're pressed then the Julius Monk revue is a surprise and will be a disaster for them - sad, but true.  And the Coward will be a disaster - they wouldn't be for us, but Masterworks has a whole other business model.  I'll be curious to follow this.

[Kate]

Now I have been watching reruns of Bonanza and Gunsmoke.

Still like them both!

[Kate]

I know they are not westerns but I do love

The Waltons, and Little House on the Prarie. 

I think they have some great teacheable moments!

It's starting to thunderstorm here.

Sadie my dog, gets frightened!

I'm up - I can't seem to get to bed before two, so I got up at ten-fifteen, awakened by a telephonic call from our web host.  Yesterday, despite the "extreme" setting for captcha, ten spam registrations got through - interestingly it's all from the same spambot, that's obvious from the addresses.  So, we're trying one other thing - which is new registrants now not only have to do the captcha thing they have to answer three questions - those are easy if you're a human being actually reading them, but I'm not sure a spam bot will be able to get around them.  If they do, then our next course of action is disabling registration and new registrations will have to type an e-mail and send to the admin who'll create the account for them.  THAT is not possible to get around and will stop this nonsense once and for all.

How on earth could I forget The Lone Ranger, my top favorite growing up - never missed an episode.  I also loved Have Gun, Will Travel.  One of my school mates, Barry Glasser, who I went to grammar school with, his father worked on that show and I was given an actual Have Gun, Will Travel - Call Paladin business card.

That's too bad, DR Kate. Our dog, also, gets fairly berserk about thunderstorms. We're supposed to have some severe ones this afternoon.
We bought a Thundershirt, which helps, but does not alleviate, the problem - at least, in our case.

I would also like an official Oh, Coward release.

[Ron Pulliam]

I'd love a CD of the "Berlin to Broadway" cast album.

[singdaw]

I'll be curious to follow this.

Max Preeo has this further detail: 

The expanded soundtrack album -- with some new tracks taken directly from the film -- for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC will be available in advance from the label's website, with the ArkivMusic release scheduled for September 10.  *Both versions will be "Disc-onDemand" copies.*
