Well, you've read the notes, the notes were rough, and now it is time for you to post until the rough cows come home.

Topic of the Day: I don't remember.

It may have been in reference to Company in that Company and Burt Bacharach's show Promises, Promises had the same orchestrator and a similar sound. The first song of his was probably one sung by Dionne Warwick that I heard on the radio.

Well, last night's Legally Blonde production meeting went well. I found out that they want the props on Friday!

I still have a lot of paper props to print...things like Elle's resume, the syllabus for the students, Callahan's announcement of who are the interns for the big act two trial, easy things like that.

I also still need to get a couple of magazines. ELLE and TOWN & COUNTRY are specifically mentioned, so I need to get those. Hopefully, the local Barnes & Noble has them both.

And now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

George, do you actually need those magazines, or can you print covers off the net and put them on any old magazine?

vixmom, that's an interesting choice to hire two assistants for you, rather than replace the co-worker who left a few weeks ago? (or is it in addition?). It sounds like he's elevating you by giving you an actual staff that answers directly to you..

So glad you're back on HHW!

TOD: I think it was most likely "Raindrops Keep Falling' On My Head" because I remember really wanting to have that record to play over and over.

We also somehow had the "Lost Horizon" album or some version of it before the movie opened, before the opening in L.A. was on TV. I already knew the songs pretty well before any word really got out that the movie wasn't going to be a success.

This morning I will go to Harlem and see if I can tackle my HMO about that missing payment.

MY son, David, will be visiting me in Austin later this week.

Haven't seen him in a couple of years.

And I guess I will have to make my next post something special

Enjoy your visit. I hate our children living so far away. Thank goodness for video chat.

Good news, Vixmom, on the assistant.

TOD:
I think the first Bacharach songs I ever heard were "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" and "I Say a Little Prayer". My sister was in the pop choir at her high school and those were the kinds of songs they sang. I really don't remember when or how I learned they were both written by the same person and his name was Bacharach. But shortly thereafter, I learned about "Promises Promises" and I fell in love with that show.

Yes, but I'll never tell.

The Harlem trip took me two hours, and this accounting error will be removed from my account within five business days. That's what I'm told. I'll believe it when I see it.

Good morning.

I went outside at 5 a.m. to work on the yard. That *$&% bermuda grass took over my flower bed. I am part of a garden tour this fall, so I have to get working on it.

Laura · « **Reply #23 on:** August 07, 2018, 08:01:13 AM »

Now it is too hot to work in the yard, so I will work inside.

I’m having to look at a list of Bacharach’s songs for help on this, but even that doesn’t clue me in on exactly when I really became aware of him as the composer.

There are certainly a few I was used to hearing before these, but “What’s New Pussycat”, “What the World Needs Now”, “I Say a Little Prayer”, and “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” are the ones that span my high school years, and I think these cumulatively opened my eyes and ears to him.

Good morning/afternoon.

T.O.D.

I fell in love with Dionne Warwick from the first time I heard her voice. Probably, "Don't Make Me Over" or "Walk on By" was the first song I knew that Bacharach and David wrote it, but probably "The Theme from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS" was the first time I connected who they were with what songs they had written. It was kind of like Holland, Dozier and Holland with The Supremes; when you heard the artist, you pretty well knew who wrote the song.

TCB · « **Reply #28 on:** August 07, 2018, 10:02:57 AM »

Favorite songs were probably, "Promises, Promises," "The April Fools," and "Theme from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS" (all Dionne Warwick songs).
