I have always wanted to be able to play the violin. Especially fiddle music.. I tried for many years and I was truly dreadful...in fact I cannot play sang instrument I simply do not have the coordination and talent. If not the violin, then the piano or guitar

Good morning, all! It was a very bad night.

While I can tell the physical therapy is doing good things for my leg, it doesn't mean a thing to the neves in my leg and spinal cord. Around 2:00AM, I finally broke down and took two Tylenol/Arthritis. I wsill be a zombie today.

I have no plans today beyond finishing the orchestration and getting ready to begin the Moross score, Act Two. The apartment needs a heavy cleaning as well. I hate slobs, and I can be one.

TOD-- probably the piano.

Where's our ChasSmith report on "1776"?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2016, 06:07:45 AM »

DR JohnG, I have Jack Viertel's book, and he signed it for me at last week's sitzprobe. I have not read much of it yet, but I'm enjoying it.

Its approach seems pretty much based on Lehman Engel's wonderful books and the BMI workshop, which Engel began, but unlike a lot of musical theatre books it's tempered by his personal observations from seeing a lot of musicals in their original Broadway runs over the past 50 years. Unlike a lot of theory-but-no-practice musical theatre book authors, he's been in the trenches.

Good morning, all.

Here I am, enjoying a "1776" hangover.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #15 on:** March 31, 2016, 06:11:44 AM »

I knew I should have picked up that book last night, damn it.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2016, 06:12:36 AM »

Well, I'll still get it.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** March 31, 2016, 06:13:21 AM »

"1776" was wonderful, and I enjoyed the unique casting.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** March 31, 2016, 06:17:26 AM »

We all really liked Messrs. Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson. And the two women. But really, everyone was fine.

The audience was right with them, eating up every line.

Orchestra great, of course, and I must say that that new Broadway star Jeremy contributed real beauty to it with some gorgeous double reed playing.

Those Clayton boys are mighty talented!

TOD:

Piano.

I had lessons when I was a kid, but nothing took.

Continued good health vibes for MR BK.

Great news on 1776. I hope it's a big hit.

John G. · « **Reply #27 on:** March 31, 2016, 07:29:52 AM »

TOD: Most any instrument would be fun to learn, but I guess I'd really like to bump it with a trumpet.

Thank you! I am, too. It took forever because of that curiosity on how iTunes are stored. I had to open all files and search within them.

I picked it up last night when I should have been sleeping and devoured about 30 pages without realizing it. He goes over some of the same ground that Engel does, but the writing is better, even if I don't agree with some of his opinions. And I like the fact that I don't agree with him all the time.
