Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Chinatown, and now it is time for you to post until the Chinatown cows come home.

Good morning, all.

Well, the reports are in.  It's official.  I have a cold.  And with the final weekend of AVENUE Q to pull off.  I shall have to do my best not to sneeze and cough into everyone's face tonight.

Edit:  Three (count 'em) typos corrected.  Oy!

Tomorrow morning I'm substitute-playing a set of auditions for someone, then we have our closing night.

Sunday from 1:00 to 6:00 is the orchestra reading and sitzprobe for RAGTIME.  I hate when all of that has to be squeezed into one horrendous day.  We had to do that for Q, too.  But it'll be relaxing for me because this time all I have to do is show up and play.

Last night DR John G. posted:

I sometimes wonder what it is that these people are listening to. I agree that Jason Graae is the best thing about Roberta. He seems to be channeling Bob Hope in a way that's really eerie. He's also wonderful on And the World Goes Round. But he is not the sole delight of either album. He fits in with the ensembles. The music is the real star of both, and the reason both were made.

Exactly right.  There is a "whole" to consider here.  Both of these recordings are ensemble successes of the highest order.

BK,

I totally agree that CHINATOWN is one of the great ones.  I never tire of watching it.  If it hadn't been up against THE GODFATHER II, I'm sure it would have won the Best Picture Oscar that year.

Good morning, all! I have physical therapy this morning, then a trip to City Center to see Joshie, drop off some scores, and pick up a few more.  This evening, I'm having dinner with George Brashears, a friend from DC.  We met working summer theatre around 1970.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Vibes for Callie!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Happy Anniversary, DR Vixmom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of CHINATOWN and actor Perry Lopez: Back in 2008, during my mother-in-law's final days in a nursing home, Lopez was slipping away in the room next to hers.  I think he passed a couple of days after her.

TOD:

Aside from the wealth of titles I got from Warner Archive this past week from which I'm currently watching the 2nd season of CHEYENNE, I also have a few titles that I have to review for my blog.  I'm currently watching THE HONORABLE WOMAN, which is somewhat confusing, but rather well done. 

I also have review copies of GOOD PEOPLE and BEGIN AGAIN to view.

Did I mention earlier in the week that BABES IN TOYLAND opened on Oct. 13, 1903? The music covers puzzle me.  The song sheets are in shades of red, but the folio "Songs and Selections from BABES IN TOYLAND" is in browns and gold: same logo just different colors.

That puzzles me, and I am running late for therapy!
