ChasSmith, that's because Marshall Harvey cleverly used as much of the CD audio with her replacement as we could for the video.

I sometimes forget that people leave comments on Amazon reviews. Here's one I found just now:

I ran across your review not long after I came to similar conclusions (although strictly as a bystander enthusiast, not with any insider knowledge.) I had high expectations for this book, but gave up 2/3 of the way through.

Incidentally, you're one of the people whose reviews I stalk, because we have some similar interests, but your reviews and writing are just so damn entertaining. Laughter is something we're desperately short of currently. However I have come to the conclusion that if I follow you too closely, my bank account will suffer substantial depletions.

That aside, thanks for your (always) informative comments, and greetings from a little further upstate, on the central coast..."the land that even California forgot".

What food is the question that needs answering at this time.

In the amazing department and you never know who's reading the notes, I got an e-mail from a super nice fellow today who named the theater where I saw Hotel in Cleveland and told me that all those movie palaces were closed up by 1970. Several became live venues, including the Hotel theater. But he included a newspaper attachment and that was fantastic and reminded me that I also saw The Sand Pebbles there and The Bible, both in 70mm. There was also an ad for Leo's Casino touting Dionne Warwick's appearance with new comic Flip Wilson. I had reservations for it but day of show came and she cancelled. I went to Columbus for a couple of days, found she was going to do the show, made reservations, and flew back just to see it. She cancelled again. I vowed never to see her live after that, and yet when I got back to LA after that trip, about six months later I did see her live at the Century Plaza.

I was at school in Cleveland in those years, and I believe the only major film I saw downtown was '2001' at the Loews State on Euclid. So, summer of '68. Other 70mm films I saw there were in Cleveland Heights, such as the theater in Severance Center (mall) and one or two others farther east whose names are escaping me at the moment but I've got them all bookmarked in cinematrasures.org.

You could find out the name of a florist near their home, call up and order the flowers, and have them marked for pick-up at a time Bryan could pick them up. The card and flowers would be from you, but the delivery by your son.

I have thought of that, or just making sure Bryan is home for the delivery. Even though he is home on Mother's Day he is working the nights prior to Sunday. He needs his sleep.

The idea is lovely. But would Bryan really want to go extra places to pick things up?

HA! I just finished LA NOW AND THEN.....what a trip, what a riot....what fun!

I loved everything and special kudos for the costumes!

DR Vixmom vibes for you and the lady at your work who isn't feeling well. Is there a reason why she wasn't tested for covid 19? I don't get it. There are so many cases in NY, she has symptoms (which could be it) and yet they don't test her. To me that makes no sense. I hope that she is still self-isolating just in case. ~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who wrote the wonderful Disney song about Dopey Drive?

I can't help it. I love the little pig in "Cornpone"!

Did he (I'm thinking it was a he) always speak and sing along?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #100 on:** April 13, 2020, 01:14:10 PM »

Is that done in most productions (I have no memory of what they did in the movie), or is it a BK thing?

At the risk of sticking my foot (or an even more unseemly part) into another wrong answer, that would be "The Whimsey Works" by Richard Sherman.

Thank you. We needed programs.

I know, and I even think I have the programs on the computer somewhere.

The puppet pig was my idea, but what she did with it was all her own. She was a GREAT Moonbeam McSwine - Emily Barnett, whose sister Sarah sings Laurel Canyon in LA Now and Then, and Emily plays Fiona (who sings This Christmas) in A Carol Christmas. Everyone loved the puppet. Would you like me to post the song list and who wrote what for LA Now and Then? Happy to.

Natalie Shahinyan did the costumes for Abner and LA Now and Then. Morgan Gannes did Levi and A Carol Christmas. And Michael Mullen did In My Mind's Eye.

Food should be here in ten minutes or so. California Chicken Cafe - a chicken wrap, some chicken pasta salad for a side, and a little Caesar salad.

I enjoyed LA Now and Then and especially liked the Li'l Abner clips--in fact, I've been humming "Namely You" all day.

Yes Moonbeam and piglet were standouts.

Those Lil Abner clips, I felt, needed no apology for being rehearsals. Wonderful. I had been thinking you might have wanted to splice in yourself or more of the team with an intro making your reservations clear -

Freddie · « **Reply #113 on:** April 13, 2020, 02:25:05 PM »

but as entertainment, jubilation in all three.

elmore, I did post it - it's above your post.

Freddie · « **Reply #115 on:** April 13, 2020, 02:26:08 PM »

But if you still feel the reservation nagging at you, you can add Dress Rehearsal in the text underneath, can't you?

Freddie · « **Reply #116 on:** April 13, 2020, 02:26:40 PM »

Or is there a reason you can't show a rehearsal?

Not unless he could walk there, then they would both go.

There aren't enough tests and they often take a long time to get the results.
