Thanks for the continued vibes for Richard. He survived a major aftermath maneuver, but it pretty much wiped him out.

Hey, Kate: Use Mike as your role model. Get out there and audition!

I just love it that one of our city councilwomen was recorded having a homophobic rant in her office. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy for my city.

Back from a sandwich and no fries or onion rings and picking up one package.

I am back in my room. Rob and I went to Harry's because I had raved about last night's dinner, and I'm happy to report that it was quite deelish; for starters, he had carrot-parsnip soup, and I had a parmesan and rocket salad. We both had the baked salmon and the parsnip cake with ice cream.

The schedule on this recording is constantly changing behind my back, so this morning we did not rehearse the stage band - we don't do that until Wednesday, when we record them with Kim and Jason! - so we had the full orchestra for both sessions. We got through all of Act One and the first three numbers of Act Two. Tomorrow morning, we'll finish Act Two and add the singers to the band for the second session.

TOD:

Blu-ray - Picked up a couple of box sets going cheap. SUPERMAN ANTHOLOGY and the extended versions of LORD OF THE RINGS.

TV - Just watched ALL GOOD THINGS, which I'd never heard of but which stars the great Frank Langella. Excellent drama/thriller.

Happy Birthday to DR Vixmom!!

It was nice to see players from previous sessions, and I was flattered to learn that the players all want to be working with me. The scores sound amazing, and I believe this recording will be as much a homage to Russell Bennett as to Kern.

DR vixmom, you asked about my leg. I think it's improved as much as it can for a while; I move awkwardly, I have horrible pains when I stand too long, the pain meds don't seem to do much but dry out my mouth, and I am counting the days to returning to NYC. I will be sorry to see this project end, but I'll be glad to be out of the airport-transportation mess.

I placed an order at the library for Seconds just this past week. I wasn't familiar with it, but the names Frankenheimer, Hudson, Randoph, Geer, et al. made me really curious. Now, I just wish they'd get it to me.

Our library just released it today, and I could've gotten a copy if I'd looked before they got put into the courier bins. I placed a hold online, so it'll go out to a branch then come right back to me. Right now, there is only one hold for four copies so I'll get it pretty quickly.

Listening to an upcoming master - sounds great and a major score from a decade without many major scores and an unusual decade for Kritzerland - but it's a composer I really like and so it was a no-brainer. The original CD release at the time of the film was about thirty-nine minutes, of which ten minutes or a bit more wasn't by the composer of the score. Our release is a whopping seventy-eight minutes, of which ten minutes isn't by the composer.

1940s?

I'd say that "Preminger at Fox" and "Laura" makes the 1940's a major decade filled with Major scores. Also, there weren't any CD releases at the time of release of films of the 1940s, or 50s, or 60s or 70s....

I'm thinking 1990s....maybe even the 2000s...

Jrand74 · « **Reply #108 on:** August 16, 2013, 01:52:32 PM »

I say 1990's since original release at the time of the film was on CD.

Off to the penultimate performance of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE

And we're still waiting to hear Dearest Enemy! But we practice patience. When it's worth it. And I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Oh Preminger at Fox did arrive in Indiana today.

Actually, I started to post 1930s first. Didn't even think in terms of those latest decades!

Rob was here for a visit and now Richard is watching a movie on his iPad. That's a sign he's recovering from this morning's procedure. They'll try to get him up in about an hour. Assuming that goes smoothly, I'll go home shortly thereafter.

I know just about no one in the cast except for said friend. Knowing the MD, the music should be very good, but pit space is very limited so it's going to be especially interesting to see how he's handled it.
