Well, you've read the notes, the notes flew on a wing and a prayer, and now it is time for you to post until the winged cows come home.

David Carroll continued from yesterday...HERE he is on The Donahue Show singing "Love Can't Happen" with Maury Yeston on the piano.

Just had to share.

Thanks for the video links, DR George.

Well, I did have to work late last night... but not all the way to midnight, which was nice.

Terrific video links, George!

DR Ginny - the St. Olaf Choir was really wonderful. Do you want me to send you a copy of the program?

Morning all.

That is all.

According to the weather bug it's 4 degrees in Manhattan.

We will be going out anyway around 10am to get our taxes done.

Ben · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2015, 04:13:53 AM »

Oatmeal, banana, walnuts and cinnamon and black coffee.

Over the weekend we watched a truly dreadful version of "No, No, Nanette" from 1940 with Anna Neagle and Victor Mature. It wasn't remotely the Nanette from 1925 or even 1971. It was on Moonlight Movies, one of the Roku channels. It was listed as the 1930 version with Bernice Claire, only the 1930 version is a lost film. Some of the soundtrack still exists on Vitaphone discs but the film itself is lost. The 1940 version tinkered with the plot and used only 2.5 songs from the show. There was some underscoring using music from the show but that was it. We watched until the end because we couldn't believe how bad it was.

THE UNFORGIVEN, which we watched a couple of weeks ago.

Good morning, all.

Boy, am I ready for a day of warmth and rest. I do have to go out at some point, but that will be no biggie.

Coffee!

Some interesting dreams last night, which I'm still trying to recapture and mull over. The grand finale took place in one of my creations of a dramatic, almost "mythological" hillside setting which is one of my "themes". None of the dreams can be easily described -- to myself, let alone others.

Good morning, all! The news tells me that a huge 4:15am water leak at the lower Manhattan Holiday Inn has sent its customers out into the cold. How awful! I have to go out in the cold around 10:15 and I am not looking forward to it.

Joshie and I have an organizational meeting to determine the needed work before the Feb 27 band rehearsal for Paint Your Wagon. It's currently 4 degrees F outside. I want to go out about as much as I'd like a non-anesthesia hemorrhoidectomy.

DR George, I met David Carroll in 1983 or so, on the New Amstrdam Theatre Company's production of Roberta, for which I orchestrated the "I Won't Dance" and "Lovely To Look At" that are on the new recording. I had seen David in a lousy version of The Wind In The Willows, with a great cast including Nathan Lane and Vicki Lewis and a beautiful score. In Roberta, David played the football star, Judy Blazer was the Russian Princess, Paula Lawrence was Aunt Minnie, and Rusty Thacker and Loni Ackerman were Fred and Ginger. I liked David a lot, and my last memories of seeing him were backstage after Grand Hotel and a guest appearance, which was not too long before both of them died, with the late Wally Harper for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus.

Sad loss.

Nice to see DRvixmom with us again! Do we have DR JRand64 with us today?

Before my a;arm rang, I dreamed that I was in rehearsals for JUBILEE with Kristin Chenoweth as the "Begin the Beguine" singer. She would have been my choice for the role onstage or recording fifteen or twenty years ago.

OMG. Today is MY day (mine! all mine!) to spend on PAINT YOUR WAGON. Finally!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** February 16, 2015, 07:26:26 AM »

I can get back to SHE LOVES ME tomorrow. I just need to tweak a few things, and figure out how to play a couple of passages that are in no way suitably arranged for keyboard. One of them is completely laughable.

Monday morning greetings! It's been snowing steadily since I got up just before 8, but it's very fine and not accumulating very fast. We're on the northern edge of the storm that's roaring through Kentucky and Tennessee.

It's very sweet of you to offer, DR Singdaw, but I'm trying to put last Wednesday out of my mind. Thanks for thinking of us - glad you enjoyed the concert!
