Nice review in AudioFile Magazine of the audio edition of my stage play, CLIFTON WEBB, brilliantly performed by John A. Boulanger. You can download it via audio.com, Amazon or iTunes.

"Narrator John Boulanger gracefully introduces the multitalented Clifton Webb from the 1940s-50s. Webb excelled at ballroom dancing, opera (he had 24 parts "ready to go"), stage, and screen. Boulanger's portrayal of Webb is subtle, while his depiction of snobbish Maybelle, Webb's mother, is forceful as she dominates his life. Listeners will enjoy hearing about Webb's most famous--and hilarious--role in SITTING PRETTY as prim and proper Lynn Belvedere, who is a nanny to three children. Sound effects add atmosphere throughout. The repartee of Webb and his Hollywood friends offers a light touch. S.G.B"

John both those 2 choices of chicken salad from last night sounded good, but when I make mine I add dried cranberries and almonds

Yesterday TCB said
Tomorrow is my doctor’s appointment in the morning and a memorial service in the afternoon.

The first thought I had was that you were expecting the doctors appointment to go badly

Great picture in the notes! Glad to hear all three commentaries are in the can, as we say, and that they went so well.

I love a good chicken salad, and it can go in at least a couple of different directions. One supermarket here makes a really "pure" one, just good quality chicken (not deli chicken) and mayo, which is a very rich but delicious variety. I also like the grape or dried cranberry (etc.) types of recipes, but I have no idea what's really been in the ones that I've liked. Some small bits of almond are fine, but I wouldn't want any other kind of nuts or even too much of the almonds. For me, that would become a distraction from the other yumminess.

But really, as long as I don't find a BIT OF GRISTLE or ANYTHING HARD in mine, I'm good with it. I love all three of these "salads" -- chicken, egg, tuna -- and in that order, but they're all good.

I love commentaries. For me, the two best kinds of "extras" are commentaries and interviews. Of course it should go without saying that none of these should be fluff, but unfortunately, there are a great many worthless ones out there. But good commentaries and interviews are what TEACH you about a film or some aspect of film or of the people involved, and there's nothing better than that.

Favorite ones? That's a tough one. Well, a couple of the all time champs were Nick Redman and Julie Kirgo, and I do hope she gets back into doing them one of these days. The ones I've already heard BK do are wonderful. The first one I heard was FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL with Nick Redman, followed by the Bert I. Gordon one with his lovely ladies (which film was that one on?). One more mention of Nick Redman goes to any and all of the Peckinpah films in which he collaborated with his fellow experts. These are simply extraordinary conversations, every one of which I'm positive would reward multiple viewings and hearings.

There are many other fine ones which my brain is unable to rattle off right now, both solo efforts and conversations. Again, when they're great, they're worth the price of admission for someone like me.

WORST:

Silvia Stoddard on the 1953 Titanic who knew nothing and rambled on....finally saying they must not have used Bruce Ismay's real name because he was still alive during filming - and even I know he had been busy being dead since 1937.

Good morning.

Ah, BEGINNING OF THE END it is, then. Thank you, DR Jrand69.

I don't have the release yet myself, but the commentary on the new SWEET CHARITY Blu-ray has gotten slammed from one end to the other by everyone who's heard it and taken the trouble to mention it. And what a shame. Talk about yer wasted opportunities.

The whole DMV shebang, including bus trip to and from, took me 3.5 hours. I am $80.50 poorer but it's done.

Thursday afternoon greetings! We were able to turn off the AC last night and open our windows, which I love. I've been puttering all morning.

Our daughter-in-law is in Florida on business and Rob was to join her tomorrow for a little vacation over the holiday weekend. They've cancelled his flight and she's coming home. Mom is very relieved...
