They're running a picture of a crustless pizza in the San Francisco Chronicle today. It seems to be baked on a parchment paper. Wonder how easy that would be to do? Certainly would be worth giving up all the carbs of the crust.

I just put an EBAY bid on a couple of Sinatra CD's, including MR BK's favorite: Wee Small Hours.

DR GINNY getting from the car to the house with the groceries was miserable....this weather is for staying INSIDE.

I like both the Capitol and Reprise years, depending.

Oh -- SINATRA AT THE SANDS is definitely a pleasure, which I make sure not to overdo, by giving it a listen only once every several years. But I love the classic live albums from those years, anyway -- Belafonte, Garland, etc.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #65 on:** July 15, 2013, 08:56:05 AM »

And yes, WEE SMALL HOURS is "the" classic. Quintessential Frank.

Could you also make a pizza, and then cut off and feed the crusts to a canine that doesn't mind carbs?

Actually wouldn't pizza crusts be a fun side dish like donut holes?

Well, I'm surprised to find about 14 Sinatra LPs on the shelf. More than I'd remembered. I know there are a few I've never listened to at all. I do have the "Winchester Cathedral" one, DR Jrand62. And I have two on reel-to-reel: ONLY THE LONELY, another essential for me, and COME SWING WITH ME.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #68 on:** July 15, 2013, 09:04:54 AM »

I wonder what the carb hit on the classic thin-crust Connecticut or New Haven pizzas are. Probably still more than a truly low-carb diet would permit. As far as that goes, I and other people I've known who have done Atkins just order pizza, scrape it all off onto a plate, and enjoyl

For me, as for a few other DRs, my "prime" Sinatra is the classic Capital "concept" albums of the 50s - as much for the orchestrations as for the vocals. There are some gems from the later Reprise era, but as a whole, the Capital work is what I most cherish.

When I was on a cruise a decade ago, they had a talent competition among the passengers. The guy that won was an exact vocal mimic of Sinatra - he really sounded exactly like the real thing!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 15, 2013, 09:30:19 AM »

Mr. Sinatra certainly still has fans....as evidenced by HHW today.

Why does every camera need a DIFFERENT type of cable to attach to the computer. My Vivitar cable is no where to be found....and none of the other cables work.....so I cannot download the two pictures I took on Saturday. There is no reason for it NOT to be with all the others.....

Greetings, BK and DR's all,

Sorry to go missing for a couple of days there, but I had a ship to sink. It's done. The play is now in the rear view mirror, and as good as it was, I'm glad it's over. It's just a tough ride to rev up two hours of someone's endless emotional breakdowns for a staged reading, with only two blocking rehearsals. No matter. It's all blood under the bridge now. Nice to be back among the living again.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

TOD:
I have to say, I'm with BK on THE WEE SMALL HOURS, and on THIS IS ALL I ASK.

THIS IS ALL I ASK is such a gorgeous song. I also loved the version that Jenkins arranged for Harry Nilsson on his A LITTLE TOUCH OF SCHMILSSON IN THE NIGHT, album.

For those of you who have read my published screenplay, THE SUMMER FOLK, you are aware that it is somewhat autobiographical, dealing with the summers of my childhood that my family spent in Soap Lake, WA. (I also wrote about that time in my memoir, and my novel, NOBODY DROWNS IN MINERAL LAKE, is set there.).

Last week, I got a request from the artistic director of the community theater in Soap Lake, asking if I would be interested in adapting my screenplay to the stage, as they would like to present it. Interestingly, I wrote this story as a stage play 30 years ago...on a typewriter.

I dug the manuscript out of storage...and decided that I wasn't happy with it. However, what I don't like is definitely fixable, so that's my project for the next month or two. The theater would like to stage the play next June.

The stuff underneath also doesn't like me much.

I'd rather have my carbs in something like a peach than in a pizza crust.

DR JRand, all I had to do was pull into the garage and holler HELLO! to DH Richard and he carried the groceries in for me. I survived the trip, but was glad to get home to the air conditioning.
