Just did a 30-minute basement walk - haven't done that in a long time.  I'm listening to Diane Keaton read her memoir Then Again.

ChasSmith, weren't you looking for a DVD of "The Loved One" recently? Warner Archives announced today that it will be releasing it.

DR Druxy,

That must have been exciting to have talked to Elvis.  What was he like?  And by the way what was the Colonial's problem?

DR Singdaw,

Don't worry, the months will fly by and you'll soon see your DH again.

Moving is very hard, but also very exciting!
Remember, your HHW friends will keep you company!

DR ChasSmith,

Did you ever see Shock Treatment?  Is it any good.  Must be if Lauren Bacall is in it!

DR ChasSmith,

Did you ever see Shock Treatment?  Is it any good.  Must be if Lauren Bacall is in it!

I saw it when it came out in 1964, but I'm afraid I had no appreciation for Bacall at the time.  I'd read the movie tie-in paperback, and it was the kind of thriller I ran to in those days, and can appreciate all the more now.

BTW, it's easy to conflate the title with SHOCK CORRIDOR -- and as I recall, the basic premise is somewhat similar.  Maybe less wacky.

I've been wanting to see it again for years, but it's one of those that seems to have fallen into a black hole.  It's never been released to home video, and I have no idea whether any TV channel ever shows it, but I've never caught sight of it.  I did recently get the soundtrack CD (score is by Jerry Goldsmith, and it's mouth-watering).

I am back from Day Three of recording.  In thirty minutes I meet my Dublin production team for dinner. This was a tense day, with a bit of fur flying over getting through everything needed today. We've cut the instrumental portion of "Lovely To Look At" and I don't know - or care much, actually - if we get to that because Annalene's vocal is so lovely. It did get very tense in the second session about finishing, and it got tense on the same issue with EILEEN and DEAREST ENEMY and we got it all, but it was an uneasy afternoon.

Tomorrow we finish and it will be great.

So, I don't know about the NYC wheelchair, but I will most definitely check on that at the airport on Thursday morning. I'm off to dinner.

Busy little morning and suddenly it's afternoon.  Had a long telephonic conversation with a composer of an upcoming Kritzerland release, created invoices for The Miracle Worker, which is shipping in the morning, went over our stock, which has several titles that are about to sell out.

I'm up, I'm up, thanks to a telephonic call from the fellow who runs the Kander and Ebb publishing.  According to him Mr. Kander is very excited we're going ahead with And the World Goes Round and wants to chat this week about casting, just to throw some ideas into the ring.

This is exciting!

I just loved "Simply".  Then again, bk writes in a style that I instantly take to.  While I realize that an orchestration can sometimes make or break a song (or a show for that matter) bk's songs are great with just a piano.  I don't know what it is, but the lyrics and the music always grab me.

BK, I really think you should publish a songbook.  I hope that you consider it. :)

Songbook would be a LOT of work, but I have been thinking about it lately.
