Listening to the first song. Fun stuff.

Show vibes for BK and company.

Vibes for Bk and company from NYC, too.

[FJL]

Great that you posted that link, John G. 

They're saying on another list that the Carolyn Leigh TV show is only up for viewing for a limited time.  Or am I reading those posts wrong?

[FJL]

That other list being castrecl

Taking a quick break to say:   

VIBES and XYLOS to BK and Co. for a great show!

Some tacoma arts news:  Expanded Tacoma Art Museum to open in November

Back in the ancient year of 1993, after spending weeks trying to think of a great title for my Sondheim rarities CD, I came up with a perfect one, at least in my view - Unsung Sondheim.  No one else thought it was perfect, including Mr. Sondheim.  I stuck to my guns and not only stuck to my guns but kept using it - Unsung Musicals, Unsung Irving Berlin, etc.  And apparently I was right about how good it was because I cannot count the number of times others have used it for projects that are exactly the same as those I created.

It might be, so listen up quickly.

I'm watching it now and the middle section, a half-hour or so of songs from "Gatsby," is fascinating. Great songs. It helps some to know the characters from the novel, but it's not entirely necessary.

[John G.]

And, yes, I noticed the Unsung usage. Too bad, bk, you didn't trademark it the way Google wants to trademark the word glass. Yours at least is unique.

I finally got to see the movie FROZEN. I watched it with my niece. Only problem was she kept telling me things that were going to happen next.

She didn't want you to be scared.

My dinner turned out really well.

I'm not surprised.

DR slingshot, I don't know which I find more frightening: the photos you post or the fact that you spend time looking for such idiocies.

Who doesn't need a little more Bea Arthur and pizza in their lives?

Surprised no comments on today's notes.

Relaxing and trying to watch a very bad but kind of amusing film called The Stuff.

[Jane]

I love the television movie from years ago titled THE ORPHAN TRAIN.....it kind of reminds me of the movie ALL MINE TO GIVE....which is the saddest movie EVER!

I remember Orphan Train but not All Mine.....

Last year I read "The Orphan Train" by Christina Baker Kline and like it very much.

  You really must teach her that is not acceptable.

I often catch up and then read them.

They even seem to have used it in the name of a corporation now.


Do they acknowledge that you'd used it first? 

[bk]

There is a fellow I know on Facebook - he used to live in LA and I've used him several times.  He is now living in New York.  He recently did a revue of - wait for it - cut songs from hit musicals and great songs from flops.  I made a post saying it sounded like a familiar concept.  Now he's back - planning a musical revue called - wait for it - What If, and also doing a show about - wait for it - material from unlikely musicals.  I just posted and suggested he actually get some ideas of his own.  It's so blatant.

Sunday evening greetings!  We went to church with Rob and Mary Linda, had lunch with them, did an errand, and I took an hour nap when we got home.

[Jane]

Bruce the notes are indeed interesting, especially regarding the two new book ideas.

[Jane]

We did not buy toy guns for our boys and they still found ways to invent their own for play.  I did permit lightsabers.  GI Joe was a no, no.  Well, by the time Transformers and Gobots became popular I gave up.  They took karate which taught self confidence, self defense, and non violence. 

When I let them get all the gear, including the clothes, for playing paint guns I listened carefully how they were playing in the woods behind our house.  They and their friends were very careful not to hurt each other and time-out was well respected.  Obviously none of these activities made them violent.

I don't like guns that look like guns for safety reasons as I think there should be a distinction between reals them.  The  ones we played with were obviously toys.

Listening to the first song. Fun stuff.

I tried to download (or capture, actually) the flash video stream, but what I got was goobered for the last half hour or so.  BUT, I was able to convert that goobered video file into an MP3 audio file and it's absolutely fine.  No problems, even though the video is wonky.  Weird, huh?
