I have plenty of housework that needs doing

[vixmom]

Ooh page two

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Spending the day at a vineyard in Fredericksburg talking about rose'. This is maybe the 15th time I've done this and I love it.

[John G.]

Hoping to get some barbecue on my way up there.

[John G.]

Then I come home and start packing the car in order to leave tomorrow.

[John G.]

TOD:

Tony Randall

The Odd Couple on TV.

[Jrand73]

Stumble though vibes for MR BK & Co.

[John G.]

Falk:

Wings of Desire
The Princess Bride
A Woman Under the Influence
The In-Laws
Murder by Death
Big Trouble

and Columbo

[Jrand73]

WOD:

Back in the 1970's when all the television stations had local personalities for children....we had a Three Stooges Hour on Channel 6.  The hosts were insufferable....my brother Kent who was about 5 years old asked me to send in a postcard for a contest they were having.  He won what was called a Pogo Pony - which was one of the oddest things I have ever seen.

The Pony had springs on its feet and you moved it around by bouncing.  It came assembled - and much fun was had on it for a couple of years.

[ChasSmith]

Good morning, all.

[Druxy]

T.O.D.

Tony Randall

OH, MEN!  OH, WOMEN!
LOVER COME BACK

Peter Falk

THE CHEAP DETECTIVE
POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES

[ChasSmith]

DR Jrand66, I don't remember hearing of or seeing such a thing.

[Jrand73]

TOD:

Tony Randall:  NONE.  I love the Doris/Rock movies, but think Randall is a big pill in all of them.  And while some may say that is the point, he is insufferable.   If they had Gig Young in those parts, as he was in TEACHER'S PET and MAKE MINE MINK, then that would have been a triangle.

He was also an absolute twit and bore when he was on HOLLYWOOD SQUARES during his ODD COUPLE days.  He would sit there with big round sunglasses on.  When he got called on, he would take off the sunglasses, give one or two word answers, and put the sunglasses back on. He was surly and uncooperative - as if he were too good to be there - ugh!

Peter Falk......I can't say I ever really cared for him either - but he didn't annoy me.

[Jrand73]

DR Jrand66, I don't remember hearing of or seeing such a thing.

It was quite remarkable!

[ChasSmith]

I wonder if there are any videos of a kid "riding" one of those.

[KevinH]

Good morning!

[ChasSmith]

Leinsdorf was a wonderful conductor!  And that special series of recordings (of Prokofiev and a few others) was great on LP (do you remember the special design of those?) and I'm sure they're doubly wonderful on CD if they're mastered well.  In fact, I would hope that the recording quality has been improved/restored because wasn't that the tail end of Living Stereo and the beginning of Dynagroove -- which I believe was a hyped up process geared to sound decent on cheap-ass record players?  Shame on RCA for that, but they sound wonderful on my system, anyway.

[KevinH]

The wig scene sounds hilarious, DR Jrand66!

[ChasSmith]

The wig scene sounds hilarious, DR Jrand66!

And should have been immortalized on video.

After a beautiful week it's supposed to rain today

We heard it about 6:30 in the morning, and it was ferocious, but it's gone and the rest of the day is supposed to be totally clear.

Which is good because we're heading out to yet another outdoor musical tonight -- Spamalot, which I have yet to see or have a huge interest in, but I plan on greatly enjoying the evening regardless.  This is the venue where the eternal Gypsy took place last summer, when I swore off doing outdoor theater because there isn't even a tent there to cover the band, and protecting the equipment last year was HELL.

So now I can relish sitting on the beautiful grassy slope, food and libations at hand, just being the audience.  Oh yes indeed.

[elmore3003]

I think I will take the bus down for the 1:30 show, say hello, and head back home.  We've had several good reviews, and of course no one mentions the band or my work, but that's the way it goes.  If I'd been mentioned, it would mean they really liked or really disliked my work, so c'est la vie!

Here's our latest reviews:

The Vixfamily went to see Spamalot when it was on Broadway, a birthday present for me fromVixdad.  Since we are all Monty Python fans we enjoyed it greatly.  I hope you do as well

Yes, yes there are. (Well at least one)

There's one on eBay now for less than $250.00!

I am glad for the good review, it's a shame  he didn't remember to credit the band or orchestrator for the music he praised

Indeed.  In a perfect world...  But like DR Elmore says, that's the way it goes.

Just think how great it would be to see the 8mm family films of little DR Jrand05 hopping around on that.

I love Monty Python.  I just haven't watched any in a long time.
