Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in both 3 dimensions and 2 dimensions, and now it is time for you to post until the 3-D cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Good morning, all.

Saturday.  Got a teeny little bit of sleep-in, which was nice.

DR Elmore's report on last night sounded wonderful.  And that's a fine piece of photographic evidence.  Very fine, sir.

And I'm glad to hear DR KevinH will be in attendance on Feb. 9th.

TOD

Three places

The Expo 67/Man and His World exhibition sites. They continued the shows until the building started to fall apart (The majority were not constructed to last and were not winterized) and it was hard to get countries and other exhibiters. The only pavilions still standing are the US Biosphere &  The Quebec pavilion and France which are no part of the Casino.

Place #2

Belmont Park the original amusement park that even had a side/freak show. Went to that once that it was too phony. It was eventually closed and torn down to make way for more homes. The other amusement park La Ronde is still open. They have the fireworks festival there every summer now.

Place #3

The old movie palaces that are all gone. The Seville, The Monkland, Palace, Loewes, The Capitol. Fond memories of all them.

One theater the Imperial is still around and is used for special events and the Montreal film festival. It was the Cinerama theater, but I never saw any movies there in that format. They converted into two cinemas and then restored it.

I been listening to all the songs nominated for the Academy Award including the song "Alone Yet Not Alone" from the film of the same.

The film played for three weeks in LA to qualify and then disappeared.

It reminds me of the 1976 Half A House and the song A World That Never Was.
DR  Druxy's client was the composer and he came up with the idea to call a toll free number to hear the song so people could vote for it. The writers were old Academy favorites Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster.

Now there is Youtube and other social media

Which may explain how "Alone Yet Not Alone" was able to get a nomination. Bruce Broughton the composer hired publicist Ray Costa to campaign for the song's inclusion. When that approach failed, he placed a series of personal calls to voters. Broughton is the former head of the Academy's music branch. The orchestrator was the guy who conducted the orchestra for the show the last few years and this year's show too.

Good morning, all!  When the alarm rang, I was having one of those "the world is ended and we must move elsewhere" dreams, and it was a truly strange group of survivors, made up of several of my musical theatre and opera performer friends!  We did a lot of foraging and never went anywhere. It was all rather frustrating and I was quite delighted to get out of bed and forget about it.

Today and tomorrow, I'm devoted to getting over the hump of this choral arrangement, and finishing it.

More coffee.
