Just got an e-mail about a potential soundtrack project, another one that would be rescued from the trash bins ala The House That Dripped Blood. Trying to make sure that the music units are just music, not music and effects. If they're just music, we'll definitely do it and it involves a major composer (only a handful of films but a HUGE name that we can do very well with) - hoping for the best. I also made a deal to reissue all the complete Harvey Schmidt titles I produced. First up will be The Fantasticks...in Jazz. Then Colette Collage, and finally the revival of I Do! I Do! So, that's very good news.

Good news from BK and KL.

I am a bit disappointed to not receive a Tony Nomination again......but that's show business.

Yes, everyone here is talking about how you were ROBBED!

The San Francisco check has arrived. I hope the Warner Music Group payment is hot on its tail.

Very glad to hear it!

Vibes for the next check.

Belated Happy Anniversary to DR Druxy and his wife!

Ditto!
I was too wrapped up in my own self-pity yesterday.

I just sent my doctor an email about seeing her some time on Thursday. I'm also wondering if this new leg pain might be tendonitis in my ankle.

Larry, I was sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

I went to edit my post and deleted it instead, like an idiot.
Here it is, corrected:

It was inaccessible for some 40 minutes, from about 2:40 pm to 3:20 pm eastern.

I had appointments & errands this morning. My timing to post was good, not too long after the site became accessible.

Joshie just called and asked me to come in tomorrow to help him prepare for the Friday sitzprobe. I hope my leg holds up.

Leg holding up vibes, and allergy be gone vibes!

I then went across the street to my favorite food store. No almond croissants, so I settled for a chocolate one, which just wasn't as good as you'd think.

Actually I am not surprised. The chocolate in those is usually disappointing for me.

DR Jeanne, once the soreness wears off I hope you feel much, much better.

A few days ago John G asked for a review of the NEW MS FISHER:

It's not bad, but I do miss Essie Davis and the wonderful chemistry between her and Nathan Page.
I also miss the gorgeous costumes and sets.
I miss Mr Butler. And Bert and Cec.
I miss the period soundtrack.
In other words, it just isn't the same as the original. But without Essie Davis it couldn't be.

On the positive side, the first episode (90 minutes) moved along well. The actors are competent, though there's one I don't care for. I'm not sure how much you can revive a series without the leads and the period. I'll watch the next episode and probably the rest. I'm hoping it improves once it gets going.

Jeanne · « **Reply #105 on:** April 30, 2019, 03:38:25 PM »

That said, it isn't bad. It just isn't on a par with the original.

The reviews from Australia have been mixed. Some LOVE it. Some don't like it at all. No surprise.

Thanks, Jane. At a minimum, I'll be relieved I'm no longer sore.

Haircut in twenty minutes. Just got the Gershwin master - so much better - sound is hugely improved, and he's done a great job with Concerto in F, which of course was taken from 78s - you wouldn't know that now. There's a little something I've asked him to try and clean up in the first five minutes of that track, but even if he can't it still sounds pretty amazing for something that was recorded in 1928.

Jeanne thank you for the detailed review. I watched a short trailer and it was obvious the new star is no Essie Davis.

VERY excited for that Gershwin...which I never knew about. Looking forward.

No, but few are. The new lead is quite popular in Australia, I'm told.

I read an interview with Heidi Thomas, the producer of CALL THE MIDWIFE. When she first read the original memoir she wasn't enthusiastic. For one thing, the 1950s wasn't her favorite period, she said. But look what she--and others--did with it. It's a wonderful show. I'm hoping the new MS FISHER does something similar. We'll see.

My thoughts when I knew they were making a new show.

Mintues? That sounds like some kind of mint candy.

I'm a little overtired, but the make-up rehearsal is actually happening tonight at nine-thirty, so that's an hour of my evening.
