Joshie to the rescue! In a couple of weeks I will begin helping him prepare Encores! I Married An Angel. I am really grateful for the work. All I have to do is hang on till then.

Good news, DR elmore!

Read through material, and am now listening to music and in an hour I'll go to my six o'clock meeting at six o'clock.

Re the reviewer status - it was really just a lark to see how long it would take and if it could even be done.

Listening to a Stanley Black compilation of his incredible Phase 4 Stereo Film Spectacular albums - gathers together a few things from five of the albums onto a two CD set. The sound is beyond belief. I would have reviewed it on Amazon but this two-CD set doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

I gotta tell you.

Home from dinner with our Moonshine and Mistletoe producer to think up some strategy to sell the show. I think Van Dean's label is going to release the CD for the holiday.

We had dinner at Tony's on 43rd Street. We both had the shrimp caesar. It was deelish. On our way back to Beautiful: the Carole King Musical I met Jessie Mueller's sister, who is going back into the show next week. I saw her in it in April 2017; she was excellent.

On Monday the handyman repaired my kitchen ceiling by installing a piece of plywood over the cracked and falling plaster. He did a very good job of it. It looks as good as it could, without actually taking out the ceiling and thus requiring me to vacate. I'm quite happy with it, but it's the building inspector who needs to find it acceptable. We'll know in a few weeks.

Fingers crossed. I am glad you are pleased with the work.

That's pretty cool about the potential CD release, Larry! Good luck!

And now, I need to leave work, do a little more prop shopping, then head to rehearsal because the director would like to use the gavel in the courtroom scenes. Why is the gavel the only prop that she wants now? I don't know.

Be back later.

An obituary title to aim for (if one must have an obituary):

Mary Carlisle, Bing Crosby's Co-Star in Delightful Musicals, Dies at 104

I read the obit in the Washington Post. Great story.

Great news on the CD, Elmore. Vibes it all goes well.

Trying to finish up the recent Criterion release of Brecht's Baal, done in a modern day with Rainer Werner Fassbinder in the lead role. It's his first film and he's fascinating. But he's almost too uncomfortable to watch at times. And that is part of the point.

I'm trying to find good ticket prices on a trip to Germany in December to see the family. I can't go by price alone. Turkish Airlines has the best price, but they want to take me to Germany by way of Istanbul, which is about 42 hours each way. No thanks.

Back from a fun meeting about what could be a fun project. It's always funny to me when I don't know someone and they don't know what it is I do and how I work, but when I explained what I thought about how the project should be presented and its pitfalls, you always get a little defensiveness at the beginning because people are naturally wary - but by the end the fellow was agreeing with every single thing I'd said earlier. We'll see where this goes.

To go with your recent Josef Von Sternberg film fest (which hasn't arrived in the library yet), I'm watching the beginning of his version of An American Tragedy. A very young Sylvia Sydney is the poor girl who gets on the wrong side of the social climber. Frances Dee is in the role of the rich girl.

I love the story and the remake, A Place in the Sun, but this is the one book that I never finished when we had to read it high school. When I have time for 900 pages, I may go back and finish it.

But I need some sleep. Good night, all.

It sounds like a great trip. Good luck finding a reasonable price.

Listening to the oh so outre Reprise Musical Repertory Theatre version of South Pacific. These are so weird but fun.

What I've never noticed before is that the band was clearly recorded first, then the singers came in to do their tracks, but the mix is so inept that they vocals SOUND like they're divorced from the band, exactly what you never want to do.

As of this evening, my niece is not doing well.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** August 01, 2018, 11:16:08 PM »

She is in a great deal of pain.

TCB · « **Reply #119 on:** August 01, 2018, 11:16:47 PM »

And she is feeling very sick to her stomach.
