I think Guy definitely...DEFINITELY!...has to include POINT OF NO RETURN.

RHODE ISLAND IS FAMOUS FOR YOU.

MURDER, HE SAYS (SHE SAYS)

BLAME IT ON MY YOUTH

More Guy Haines suggestions:

How Little We Know

I'll Remember April

The Moonlight Gambler

Star Eyes

Evelina

Baby, The Rain Must fall

Point of No Return is on the list and a strong possibility. One of the already-chosen songs is one of my favorite songs from the Seventies.

There are quite a few Kander and Ebb songs I think Guy could do justice to. "Sometimes a Day Goes By, as DR Stuart mentioned, would be great for him, and so would "Seeing Things" and "I Don't Remember You," both beautiful ballads from THE HAPPY TIME.

And may I suggest, should Mr. Haines choose to record "Seeing Things" that he include the verse? Although I adore the Sexiest Man Alive's recording of it (produced coincidentally by Mr. Haines' very own producer), he leaves out the verse, and the song loses some of its depth, because the chorus doesn't tell us how the couple's ways of seeing things differ--the verse does:

You say, "Come down, you're going to fall."
I say, "Go up, you're touching the sky!"

That may not be quite right, but that's the gist of it.

How about that one I heard the other night, "The Long Hot Summer"

Which reminds me of another Jimmy Rodgers song that might be right for Guy...Tucumcari.

For a word of the day, "pudding" has been given very short shrift. Let's give pudding some long shrift, shall we? The day is young, which is more than I can say - so let's give pudding the respect it deserves. I know dear reader Sandra will have something pithy to day about pudding so we await her pithy pudding pronouncements.

I like pudding.

Is that pithy enough for you?

Some years ago (wow!) I posted on this here site my top ten mathematical theorems. Included was,

Theorem: Pudding

Proof: Eating

One of the high points of my life was when we went to Four Corners and I ate pudding in four states. (No joke.) If only I'd had my Swedish Chef hat then.

I had to read this crazy article for a class yesterday. It was long and boring and LONG! It just wasn't making any sense no matter how much I struggled with it, so I decided to take it on up to The Fifth Floor, where utter nonsense makes perfect sense.

I don't know if the article made sense up there or not because I got all caught up in a conversation that was going on about string cheese.

An update on my little pudding, Callie. The tests were inconclusive, but she has been doing extremely well of late, so as long as that continues we're just going to wait and see.... So for now all is well.

DR RON - I guess we are the only ones who watch PROJECT RUNWAY....but each of the designers reminds me of some wacko I have worked with on a play or musical. Costume designers and choreographers are guaranteed to be high maintenance and inflexible. One or the other or both.

As JMK mentioned yesterday that Todd Rundgren had a new album out, I might put in that my Joe is a big fan of Todd's. In fact, in the 70's Joe was attending his concert at the late lamented Calderon theatre in the Stead of Hemp on the Island of Long and shared a, er, forbidden substance with Todd during the show.

Although his music is quite different from the music normally discussed on this site, he did record "The Lord Chancellor's Nightmare".

Rundgren songs for Guy Haines to record? I suppose "S.L.U.T." wouldn't count as a romantic ballad?

Sandra · « **Reply #164 on:** January 27, 2005, 11:23:52 AM »

And then since none of us could understand the article and we didn't want to have to discuss it in class, we all kept the teacher distracted for an hour and ten minutes. She goes off on tangents really easily. I like that in a teacher.

And my favorite screenplay has to be the upcoming Kudo-head and the Giant Green Blob.

Now I want pudding. I am off to get a Cherry Coke and some pudding if I can find some.

JMK · « **Reply #166 on:** January 27, 2005, 11:30:12 AM »

A good Todd choice consdering some of yesterday's "stuff" might be Time Heals. And did you know that Todd is Liv Tyler's stepfather and pretty much raised her (Steven was out of the picture until she was much older).

BK, check your AOL email. Two, count 'em, two presents are waiting.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #167 on:** January 27, 2005, 11:33:15 AM »

Perfect song for Guy Haines: DAYDREAMER, from the animated movie of the same name. It's time we had another rendition of this besides Robert Goulet's fine original. It's also just a good song for Guy's vocal stylings and sensbilities.

My favourite screenplays: My own DRAGONHEART (better than the final film) and my unproduced PRINCESS OF MARS.

Confession: I don't read screenplays. I'd rather read a book or play.

I would love to hear Mr. Haines wrap his larynx around a medley of "Not a Day Goes By" and "Sometimes a Day Goes By."

Still thinking of duets.

What about the "I Don't Remember You/Sometimes a Day Goes By" duet arrangement from And the World Goes 'Round? I love that arrangement. Maybe Guy Haines and Brent Barrett??

Good moaning all .....

It's going to be another H-O-T day here in Melbourne ... 35 Celsius (with the occasional thunder storm thrown in).

I am digressing from the main topic of the day, but am hoping somebody may be able to clarify something for me ....

... Apparently one of our commercial tv stations will be screening a television remake of THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE !!!

Can anybody verify that one has actually been made?

Has anybody actually seen it?

Did they re-work "The Morning After"?!!!!!

How can they make it without Shelley?!!!!!!

I think it is about the Australian Mining Company and the related stock boom/crash of the 1970's OzDErek.

I can't remember who posted yesterday about how hard it is to find films suitable for the entire family....

What about "A League of Their Own?" It's rated PG and it's a great movie! In my humble opinion (IMHO in Internet lingo). I don't remember if there is much "language" but I'm pretty sure that there isn't much (if any) vomiting.

Another most excellent Brasilian ballad to consider: Tom's glorious Sabia. A very meaningful lyric for those of us of a certain age. Sinatra did a beautiful version with Deodato, but I love Quarteto em Cy's version(s).

Weird internet happening department: yesterday my Farmer article logged more visitors than hits. Now it's quite ordinary for me to get several more hits than visitors each day, since people (I'm sure fascinated and wanting to re-read--LOL) return, sometimes several times in a day. Cookies prevent them from being counted again as a visitor, but the site hits go up every time someone loads the page. But I have to wonder how I could have fewer hits than visitors. Hmmmmm......

I have a question some of you musical and opera fans might be able to answer. Is the reason STREET SCENE hasn't been revived on Broadway because it's now a title opera companies might want to tackle and might be considered too heavy and oepratic for Broadway (especially since pop operas don't seem to go over well any more)? Just started thinking about this today and wondered if any of you have any insight.

DRMattH, City Opera did a great broadcast of STREET SCENE in the early 1980s with Catherine Malfitano as Rose. I wish it were on DVD. My suspicions about the piece are the following:
1. no producer thinks it will run if revived
2. between the large cast and a large orchestra, which may be something the Kurt weill Foundation wouldn't like reduced to the current standard on Broadway of 15-18 playersplus conductor, it may be economically unfeasible.

Much as I love the score, I'd rather see THE GOLDEN APPLE revived with its large cast and original orchestration.
