What a mouthwatering review of The Boy Friend! I pre-ordered it and look forward to it lighting up The Movie Room soon.

Vibes for DR ELMORE.

Well, I must get me into a POSITOOVITY frame of mind, and get that project done and out of the building.

Then, back to La Cage, entering performance notes just received from the MD and making sure I know what the hell I'm doing when I sit down to play it. Looks like we have a band of about eight, which is nicer than I'd expected.

God, this Samuel French website is a pain in my arse. (Not that any of them win any awards in my book.) But it looks like that number is, in fact, the whole revival orchestration. Which I sort of remember now from seeing it.

I may have made a turn for the better. I am still feeling exhausted despite hours of sleep but my chest is less heavy and my joints have ceased aching

Wednesday morning greetings! They're working in our bathroom again today...

That is good news, DR Vixmom! I'm not glad you're sick, but I do like having you here on a weekday.

{{{{{Hugs}}}}} for DR Elmore. How can it have been 10 years? Seems like yesterday...

What was in the longer version of "the Boy Friend" on laserdisc and presumably on Bluray? I've only seen the film on TV and on DVD

Good morning.

Glad to hear Vixmom is on the mend. I hope TCB got some good drugs to see him through until his next appointment.

Laura · « **Reply #42 on:** February 15, 2017, 07:44:26 AM »

How are you, Kerry. I need to come visit again. Today is my DH's procedure, or else I'd have asked if I could visit today.

Good morning, all.

TCB, if you have a sore throat, drink hot ginger tea or even heat up ginger ale. Ginger will help.

JRand, I remember those nights of watching movies on the CBS late show. The commercial breaks were more frequent than those on a PBS fund drive.

But they were also the only place to see some movies like Robert Altman's HEALTH or Night Moves with Gene Hackman.

Ten years ago today, around 1:00am, my father William E. Moore died at the age of 85. He was a kind, decent man with a love for his family and a great work ethic. I miss him daily.

I had been posting from Ohio daily reports to HHW on his health and decline. I posted this ten years ago around 2:00am:
My father, William Edgar Moore, born Fallsburg, KY, Dec. 14, 1921, passed away around 1:00 AM EST today, about 55 minutes ago.

I will miss him.

{{{HUGS OF COMFORT!!}}}

BK, if you are contacted by someone from the public library in El Segundo, you can blame me. She was asking for recommendations of local authors to appear at an event and I mentioned you.

John G. · « **Reply #52 on:** February 15, 2017, 10:01:01 AM »

The library has ordered season four of A Place to Call Home. I'm now 26th waiting for one of four copies.

I am about halfway through my work today. I wrote the ending first, so I wouldn't be mentally exhausted when I got there. I think I have about 20 more bars to write.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** February 15, 2017, 10:40:44 AM »

OMG. Done. Now to edit nine (count 'em) passages together in Audacity. Without having another couple of days at my disposal to work this thing into -- shall we say -- more "honest" shape (which is totally unnecessary, anyway), it just had to be broken down into pieces. I think I can do this well enough that not a single edit will be detectable. We shall see.

I know I'm talking apples and oranges here, but there is often great psychological benefit, in learning to play something, to start at the end and work at it in sections moving back toward the beginning. I just did it with this very song.

T.O.D.

BK, do you know Tommy Tune? And if so, what is he like?

I don't know him well, but we did get him to reconcile with Twiggy and do Room in Bloomsbury on her CD - I was trying to gently give him some direction and he was kind of just looking at me, and Twiggs piped up instantly, "You listen to Bruce, he's brilliant." Then he listened.

I now have my pianist-pit conductor for CURTAINS....which is good news.

How is your throat?

You have been hit hard with this. Remember if you return to work too quickly whatever this is will likely return, or take twice as long to completely go away.
