Well, you've read the notes, you know all about last night's show, and now it is time for you to post until last night's cows come home.

And the word of the day is: RUCK!

Just added three photos to the notes.

Great pictures, BK!

Videos will probably be in tomorrow night's notes. I know we have Hadley's I Won't Grow Up, and I know we have Sami's Annie, which I'm anxious to share, and I know we have Jenna's Disneyland.

Morning all.

That is all.

Good morning, everyone.

Glad to hear that the show last night was such a success. Looking forward to seeing the videos. And thanks for sharing the show order!

The real temp here right now is -22 (wind chill of -48). Soon the dog will be begging for a long walk.

The landlord has requested that we keep a trickle of water running in all faucets to try to prevent them from freezing up (much of the plumbing apparently runs along exterior walls).

Good news on last night's show, BK!

Good morning, all! My alarm was set to ring at 6:30, but I was wide awake by 5:15 and could not get back to sleep, thinking about the recording schedule for February. So, at 6am, I got up, washed up, and I'm on my first cup of coffee. I'll leave here around 8:15, take the 104 bus to 59th Street, transfer to the No 20 or No 7 bus to 23rd and Seventh, then take a crosstown bus to Fifth Avenue, all to see my eye doctor at 9:30.

Depending on the eye exam, and eye drops, I may go to Toyland for a bit or just take a No 7 bus - the one I waited for for over 30 minutes last night - and head back home.

I had a long day at Toyland; first, there was some cleanup and also a search for some music, followed by some housekeeping work on my office computer. Rob arrived around 3:30, and we talked schedule for the Feb recording, listened to the seven pop singers of 1932 ridiculed in "Don't Ask Me Not To Sing" ad discussed their mannerisms and affectations. Then we listened to all of ROBERTA and discussed fixes.

We finished a little before 7:00, and I headed for the bus stop. The worst part of the 30+ minute wait for a No 7 bus is that this stop has no bench, so I was forced to stand and navigate with a heavy shopping bag and cane.

To add insult to injury, I got home to find the elevator is once again out of order, so I had to drag myself, cane, and shopping bag up three flights. I was quite pissed.

More coffee!

Sad news about the fire on 43rd Street and the newlywed couple. It's been all over the news since I turned on the TV.

Glad the show went well. Looks like a great group of kids!

Well... ...let me just say this. You can tell it's cold out. The moment you step through the door, it penetrates right through all the layers, the shoes, the gloves, the hats, and announces itself to your bones: it's COLD!

We normally walk about an hour, the dog and I. This morning, I kept it to less than 10 minutes, because I was worried about the dog getting frostbite. He didn't do his business, which means another short walk later. Yeeehaaaa!

Good morning, all.

Monday! Coffee!

Congrats to BJ on a wonderful show. Very nice pics, and looking forward to the videos!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2014, 05:01:22 AM »

Oh man, we are in our thaw here. It actually started last night. The driveway is completely clear of snow, and it's quite foggy. It's supposed to reach 49 today, then freefall back down to the single digits. Incredible.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** January 06, 2014, 05:17:41 AM »

UPDATE: Make that an expected high of 55 -- which they claim it already is right now --followed by a precipitous drop to 5. Whee!!!

Whatever is wet out there will be flash frozen and it'll be treacherous tonight.

I shall be running my few errands this morning, and be comfortably re-ensconced at home well before that happens, thankyouverymuch.

The cat doesn't look very sure about this.

Glad you are being careful and safe, DR ChasSmith.

bk is up and on here awfully early for a non-release day!

singdaw · « **Reply #22 on:** January 06, 2014, 05:43:07 AM »

Oh. Perhaps he wasn't up after all.

Ginny · « **Reply #23 on:** January 06, 2014, 06:04:06 AM »

Monday morning greetings! It's very cold here in SW Ohio and not supposed to get above zero all day. I'm glad we rescheduled Mom's repeat endoscopy to Thursday.

Ginny · « **Reply #24 on:** January 06, 2014, 06:05:17 AM »

Congratulations to BK and the kids!

WARNING - THIS IS A VERY R-RATED LINK:

This link seems to be almost "what if FROZEN were done with the very extreme language of WOLF OF WALL STREET" - meaning the link is VERY R-rated:

In the wish I'd thought of that department - (seems to be a devilish take on what the character is really thinking when she sings the wonderful Let It Go)

More congrats on how well the show went!!!!!!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** January 06, 2014, 06:37:18 AM »

Thank you, FJL, I have a couple of people to pass that along to.

So, yesterday I finally got around to setting up the laptop for comfortable reading in the movie room, putting THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG on the Big Screen and Big Speakers, and following this PDF copy of the piano/conductor score of the 1979 stage version. Fascinating!

This is one of those scores that runs the gamut from handwritten (in various hands) to typeset, and from nicely detailed to extremely sketchy.

Did anyone here see a staged production or know how well (or not) the scoring or anything else was adapted? I only just learned that the English translation was by Sheldon Harnick. Anyhoo, I'm happy to say the score is faithful to the film from first note to last; I mean, everything is BASICALLY there. I don't know what size of band it was arranged for -- obviously nothing like the film orchestra, and there's enough detail to indicate quite a bit of re-orchestration -- but I'm just so happy to have the damned notes. As sketchy as some passages are in this copy, the framework is there, and seeing what this incredible Legrand actually looks like is so damned rewarding. When I'm better set up for it (I'm going to have to get some kind of tablet or iPad and a digital music app), I'll sit down and get some of it into my fingers.

If any of youse music reading types don't already have the score, and want it, you know where to find me.

Now I wish someone had done the same for YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT, just so's I could grab the music...
