Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in the home stretch and got to the finish line, and now it is time for you to post until the stretching cows come home.

I sort-of like the image of stretching cows for some reason.

As do I.

Earlier today, I received Cheryl Bentyne's newest CD (she's the soprano of The Manhattan Transfer)! It's called reArrangements of Shadows, and it's jazz arrangements of Sondheim's songs (although, the subtitle is "The Music of Stephen Sondheim"). Anyway, I'm listening to it now, and I think it's really good! However, if you're a Sondheim purist, you might not care for it. But, if you like jazz and Sondheim, I think you'll really like it...and Cheryl Bentyne is a great jazz singer!

I haven't heard the album, but I like her voice very much.

Thinking about doing another classical CD with three amazing piano concertos, two of which I issued on Bay Cities and which sounded really good then but could sound even better now - they're gorgeous. And the third concerto is by a major theater composer and would be grand fun to make sound better, since its original CD release sounded like mud. What do you think?

I think yes.

John G, where did you find DURRELLS season 1? I don't think it's still on the PBS website.

Jeanne · « **Reply #156 on:** October 16, 2017, 09:11:45 PM »

I've been revisiting BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES. It's my second time watching it and it's holding up quite well.

Regarding the lack of commitment to gigs, I'll add a true story from my corporate days:

We had hired a middle-aged man for a managerial position. He was a seasoned professional in technology. On the Thursday or Friday before the Monday when he was due to start work I phoned him, more as a friendly gesture than anything. He informed me that he'd accepted another position, closer to home. Stunned, I could barely ask, "Were you planning to tell us?" He said that he was, of course, but one has to wonder when that would be. An inconvenience for us, clearly, but after that conversation I was sooo glad we wouldn't be working together.

I got it from the library. I think it's also on Amazon, if I heard my friend Hillary correctly.

Brokenwood Mysteries. What fun.

Sorry DR JANE I should have gone back to check....but I was lazy!

I did a search which didn't work.

DR Jrand I think you have earned the right to be lazy.

The Crucible will be here this week - really early. I'm filing a Paypal dispute.

Have three new releases planned now. One classical, one film related, and one show.

Jane · « **Reply #168 on:** October 16, 2017, 10:28:34 PM »

DR Vixmom may your anniversary morning appointments go well.

bk · « **Reply #169 on:** October 16, 2017, 10:29:05 PM »

And another classical in the clean-up stage, and there will be other classical releases, too, since an entire catalog is now at my disposal.

Jane · « **Reply #170 on:** October 16, 2017, 10:31:50 PM »

DR Jeanne it was a good thing you are a nice person and called the man

I used to live in Santa Rosa, years ago. It is tragic the amount of damage these fires have caused, not to mention the loss of life.

Yikes!

Years ago, a woman was hired as the Interlibrary Loan supervisor and she quit only a couple of days after she started. I'd heard that she and our then-IT manager didn't get along, but I think that that was only part of why she quit.

The boy that lived next door to me when I was growing up, lives in Santa Rosa with his wife. His sister posted on Facebook that they were forced out of their home. They don't know yet if there house survived.

I binged watched the remaining episodes of STRANGER THINGS. I really enjoyed it, but I have no idea how they are going to do a second season.

TCB · « **Reply #178 on:** October 16, 2017, 11:19:56 PM »

I guess I will find out in a few weeks.
