And some of the sets from THE WIZ were used in XANADU.

XANADU, at least, had Gene Kelly.

I think it was TCB who asked if I'd be getting a recording of the show. I did indeed, but I've just determined that the DVD is copy-protected and I have never taken the trouble to learn how to, um, deal with that. Fortunately, I have a friend who can take care of such annoying little matters, so next time we get together (he's in another town) I'll have him work a little magic on it.

That almost got an illegal groan out of me, DR Jrand64.

Almost.

I caught myself just in time.

It had to be said DR CHAS SMITH

Maraczek's has been evicted.

I have no idea what this means

DR VIXMOM I enjoyed your photos last night......an outstanding decorating job!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 15, 2015, 10:39:18 AM »

DR CHAS SMITH I use this program.

It's pretty good for copying all discs......and it's free and doesn't contain viruses or extra programs you don't want.

When you open it up the first time, you are asked if you want to BUY the full version, but you can just click NO, DON'T ASK AGAIN....

When it opens, put your disk in the drive to let it copy....after it's done, change it for a blank disc.

It says it makes Region Specific DVD's to Non Region, but I have never used that feature.

Maraczek's is the parfumerie in SHE LOVES ME, DR vixmom. Most of the show takes place within its confines.

Here are the interior and exterior from two different productions:

Thank You, Madam, DR JRand64!

And Thank You, Madam, DR Elmore, for helping to further DR vixmom's education!

Which will have to be expanded to include another little reference so subtly disguised in this very post...

Jrand74 · « **Reply #44 on:** March 15, 2015, 11:08:12 AM »

LOL.....we shall celebrate at the Cafe Imperiale

ChasSmith · « **Reply #45 on:** March 15, 2015, 11:16:28 AM »

Damn it all, I meant to say it last night, myself, but the records and everything looked fantastic.

I guess I was in a state of shock from the description of the "chili" that has now won two consecutive years. Clearly, some judge needs to be retired. STAT.

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep. Did some packaging work on our next release. And shortly I have to go to the theater to work with our understudies.

I spoke to the brisket chili cook this morning He says he cooks the brisket at 250 for about 8 hours in a pan sealed with foil then shreds it and puts it in the sauce: tomatoes, onion, peppers, cumin, chili powder ,garlic, salt, red pepper . season to taste

So far, today's listening has been two Bach cantatas, Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, and Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe. When Iolanthe finishes, I'll turn on the telly.

I just hate to see you uninformed on such common things.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** March 15, 2015, 12:03:42 PM »

Which Mahagonny, DR Elmore?

I love that piece more than I can say.

I listened to both the original 30-minute Mahagonny Songspiel and then the complete opera on Cappriccio with Anja Silja as Jenny. I prefer Lenya, but Silja does it in the correct keys. I wish that the Met broadcast with Stratas was on CD.

I see that the delightful, abridged BBC broadcast of SHE LOVES ME is on youtube:

I'll treat myself to some doughnuts or something nice on the way back. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Ooo...doughnuts. There is a local doughnut place close to my sister's. I think I'll stop there after I visit her today. I've actually only been there once (the doughnut place, not my sister's) but they were very good.

ChasSmith, if it's possible, I'd love to have a chance to study that disc...for instructional purposes only, of course.

I did a couple of errands and then spent about an hour and a half at the book sale. People were buying multiple bags on their way in and our tables were clearing nicely.

It's been raining pretty much all night and day since last night. I wonder how much longer it'll last.
