Four!

So, I've been (mostly) listening to the DVD version of Judy Collins' A Love Letter to Stephen Sondheim, and I've got the last four songs left to go. I've noticed three glaring mistakes. One is that the back cover uses the title, "I Remember Sky," but the official title is, "I Remember." Then during her comments, she said that George Furth wrote the book to Follies.

And the last...interesting...thing (not really a mistake, per se) is when she sings "The Road You Didn't Take," she sings this:

You're eye-ther a poet
Or you're a lover
Or you're the famous
Benjamin Stone.

You take one road,
You try one door,
There isn't time for any more.
One's life consists of ee-ther/or.

We are headed out for a walk and dinner to a restaurant we have been told has a good bar.

The concert was nice. I didn't pay it too much attention to catch the Road You Didn't Take mistake but I caught the other two.

I just finished watching the interview portion. She said that the son of "Oscar Hammerstein Jr." was "Jamie Hammerstein Jr."

George · « **Reply #97 on:** August 17, 2017, 06:27:21 PM »

But otherwise, it was all enjoyable enough. I've seen her live here in Olympia, and what I noticed then was that she didn't have a bottle of water with her at all and she stood for the whole concert. She didn't meander around, sit and then stand, or anything like that. She planted herself in one spot and played from there.

George · « **Reply #98 on:** August 17, 2017, 06:29:28 PM »

I didn't mind that she used a stand with they lyrics. I figured that she probably never performed any of his songs before (except for "Send in the Clowns"), and since it's probably a one-off concert for a PBS pledge drive, she didn't need to memorize every single word. Plus she's old and been performing for a very long time. She's earned the right to look at the lyrics if she wants!

Gratuitous Post #100!

And on that note (C-natural), I'm leaving work and heading home.

Be back later.

As the song goes:

I say ee-ther and I say eye-ther
And I say nee-ther and I say nigh-ther
Ee-ther, eye-ther, nee-ther, nigh-ther
I've looked at words from both sides now.

Sometimes Judy Collins can sing just a bit OFF key.....

Did some viewing - finished the Hitchcock Hour set and watched some Twilight Time stuff.

John G. · « **Reply #107 on:** August 17, 2017, 07:39:12 PM »

I like both Fred and Jack's take. Though after the past week, I don't know that I ever want to hear Both Sides Now again.

I've got 50 pages left in my latest Balzac, The Black Sheep. Either I'll finish or sleep will finish me off.

Listening to the Duke of Ellington. I've heard four albums so far - they're all interesting, of course, but the least interesting are his outre takes on popular songs of the 60s, and his Mary Poppins cover. The great ones are the "suite" CDs and is "hits" CDs, whether old or new - those are just amazing. Right now listening to his RCA recording, Far East Suite - one of the most amazing-sounding CDs ever.
