Are the debates shown live on the West Coast or tape delay?

Clearwater--that's where most of the old folks stay. How familiar are you with it?

Well, the first time I went there was in... 1977!
I was living in Montréal then, and a Canadian friend of mine had a condo in Safety Harbor, where the Spa is.
I remember the famous Kapoke Tree Restaurant which closed a few years ago!

Then, in the eighties, I had the opportunity of going back there often. I forget the name of the big Shopping Mall on the way to Clearwater Beach; I enjoyed going there, and it was so sad, when I went back for a visit "to my past" in Florida, in 2001 to see that huge place almost empty, with hardly ten stores remaining open, mainly haidressers'....

I also went many times to the terrific Eckerd Ruth Hall, downtown Clearwater, where I saw Julie and also Rosemary Clooney in her Christmas Show....

Bernadette P. is to appear there next January!!

In 2001, on my way in from France, I landed in Tampa late at night, rented a car and checked in some motel, and went first thing in the morning to Clearwater Beach: I love the causeway leading to the beach, with those huge bushes -- I did not print kerries, you noticed!! -- of poisonous laurels....

There are LOADS of old folks everywhere in Florida, Danise!!

Ok......I found an old digital pic, which I think is too pixilated to last long. But as someone said either earlier today or yesterday, this is a very personal site, and having pics of everyone seems to make us all a bit closer. So there you go.

Also
did the new song Born Too Late replace I Don't Need You or Chinese Food In Bed?

I'm not BK, but...

"Annie" replaced "Joshua Noveck"

"Born Too Late" replaced "Parsley"

-Which actually ended up placing three BK songs in a row: "When You're Waiting For Love", "Annie" then "Born Too Late".

Stuart it is nice to see your face.

Danise, very well put. I must disagree with you, errors are sometimes pointed out…in a friendly way of course.

We are recording the debate and will begin watching it soon.

Bruce if you have more pictures from What If? I and I am sure the rest of the DR would love to see them.

Neither - it replaced his first act solo, Parsley.

I thought it replaced a song in the 2nd act. Well got to go fix that info.

I just came from a wonderful party Jo Sullivan Loesser threw for the WHERE'S CHARLEY? company. It was really great to see everyone from the cast and production staff, and Jo is an amazing lady I've loved since working with her on the Kennedy Center WHERE'S CHARLEY? in 1998.

DR Jane, during the course of the evening we learned that Tony Walton lived in the Wellington following his separation from Julie Andrews. I gather several artists and performers live there full-time. You may see somebody famous in the lobby!

DR Stuart, it's a nice face. (A SWEET CHARITY reference)

Yes, thanks for the WHAT IF pics. They did give a slight taste of the show.

bk · « **Reply #132 on:** September 30, 2004, 07:52:58 PM »

That is because you are a Kerry-ite. I'm sure Bush-ites (whomever they may be) thought he won the debate. I'm quite certain that the real fact of the matter is that the "debate" was peurile and pointless and that no one won the debate. Everyone lost - the candidates and the people who watched them.

Matt H. · « **Reply #133 on:** September 30, 2004, 07:53:56 PM »

BK, aren't you thinking of Judy Garland's live Carnegie Hall recording on Capitol, not her Palace set?

There was an LP pressed (it may be a pirated recording but I have it) of one of Garland's last Palace shows in 1952. She takes a moment to introduce in the audience Laurenz Melchior who was following her into the Palace.

Of course, her last Palace appearance was recorded on ABC-Paramount.

If you have any influence with her, DR Elmore, how about convincing her to lift the ban of releasing the movie version of WHERE'S CHARLEY on DVD. From what I understand, its unavailability is due to her.

Good night, all you wonderful folk!

BK, I'm afraid you might be right!

I have a small portable radio and, believe it or not, some French radio has broadcast the whole thing, all in OV -- original version !! -- and I heard part of it, and what I heard was.... distressing to say the least!

BUT.... vote, people, VOTE!

I watched two DVDs tonight (in addition to JOEY and WILL & GRACE): the relatively new Disney cartoon THE THREE MUSKETEERS and the 1996 revenge/caper film CITY OF INDUSTRY. Both were strange.

The Disney opus came straight to video, and its musical song score is made up of classic music from the worlds of opera, ballet, and the concert stage set to new lyrics (and excerpts from THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE). The movie is basicly an hour long, and there's about 10 minutes of plot. Not bad for a made-for-video effort (nice sound, decent if cutrate animation that looked nice in anamorphic widescreen), but a far cry from the studio's glory days as an animation giant.

CITY OF INDUSTRY was recommended highly by a friend, and though the cast was game, I really didn't understand his enthusiasm. Decent enough plot, fine acting, but hardly anything out of the ordinary for a crime/caper film.

DRMattH, I don't know the reasons for the WHERE'S CHARLEY? film situation, but I, too, would love to see the film on DVD. I know that a couple of songs not in the movie were recorded and possibly filmed. The "New Ashmolean" number starts into the dance music and fades out, so there was clearly more to the number, possibly to cut the film to 90 minutes. Perhaps Frank was unhappy with the truncation of the score?

Hopefully, the successful reviews of the show, and sold-out houses, at Goodspeed will lead to a re-evaluation of the film. We can hope!

That was a wonderful summer at the Kennedy Center with those series of concert performances of musicals. They also did Purlie and some other show I can't remember right now. They tried to continue the series, but the funding and interest fell out. Ah, well...

Did you enjoy working with Kay Cameron?

-Oh, it was Bells Are Ringing, wasn't it? I think it was - Faith Prince starred, and Tina Landau directed... Which led to the not-so-long lasting revival.

yes, DRMATTH, I think Judy's Grammy winning album was Judy At Carnegie Hall.....and yes her Back Home at the Palace was recording of her 1967 show.

Some say that her first "live" recording as such was a 1950's performance at Cocoanut Grove. I have that LP....but there may be others. I think there is a pressing of her closing night in 1952 at the Palace, but I don't think it's an "official" release.

They're hoping to get on a new television show that's being broadcast here in the States, called Wife Swap.

The wives/mothers of two families trade places for two weeks. The first week, the women have to abide by the previous house rules. The second week, the women get to set the rules.

Go ahead, use your imagination.

When I left school tonight at 7:30 after a rehearsal, I saw some strange behavior around the building. The principal ran in and immediatly got on the phone, and I thought it was odd to see him there so late. Then I saw cops all around interviewing boys from my grade. I assumed there was a car accident.

For the past hour, I've been getting calls and IMs from my classmates saying that there was a shooting either in or around the school tonight, and at least one student is dead.

There has been nothing on local news or online about it. I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. This is all like a big game of telephone. I have no clue what's going on.

DR William F. Orr, don't you live in the area? Have you heard anything about this?
