Well, you've read the notes, you know the latest and hardest news, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - you know what - I don't think those fershluganah cows are EVER coming home, that's what I think.

BK, I'm curious about the Zorba recording that you and Donald played on his show last week during your interview (which I taped...does anyone want it??). In the song "Life Is," the recording started with some bells before it went into the intrumental intro. The CD that I have of the original cast recording does not have those bells before the instruments start!

I don't have the original vinyl album, so I can't compare. I know it's a minor point, but do you happen to know what that's all about? If you and Donald played a CD, I didn't know that there was more than one CD release of the score. If you played the album, why would they have removed the bells when it was put on CD? Any ideas? Anyone??

Not sure, I'll have to ask Donald.

LOLLYGAG!

WUSSBURGERS APLENTY!

I suppose I'll just toddle off to the bedroom environement then.

I may have missed it yesterday, but BK what are your top favorite commercials that you did?

Michael · « **Reply #7 on:** April 07, 2005, 04:21:04 AM »

A general good health vibe and all around vibes to those that need them

Tomovoz · « **Reply #8 on:** April 07, 2005, 04:26:29 AM »

DR George. My Cd of the original cast of "Zorba" starts with bells - The Herschel Bernadi version that is - not the Anthony Quinn later version.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #9 on:** April 07, 2005, 04:30:13 AM »

I've just watched the first half of "TinTypes". Disappointing - no audience. It just seems dead. That was my opinion of the Jackman "Oklahoma" when it was first shown here a few years back (I think they've added an audience since!) I am now hoping that "Sophisticated Ladies" is not "cold" as well. I really enjoy "Smokey Joe's Cafe" and "Ain't Misbehavin' "

Good morning, all! I hate Daylight Savings Time and I'm sure you all by now my griping about it. I do apologize.

Today's a big BABES IN TOYLAND day, and I hope it goes so well that several numbers are finalized for the edition. My friend Tom Murray, who is a fantastic musical director and musician, has been one the project's major assets. He's abandoned Chicago for five months to test the New York waters, where I think his ship will launch quite nicely, and we're now working over a table and no longer over a phone. Yesterday, we enlarged on the copier the oboe line of Herbert's score to the Finale of Act One in an attempt to read his original instructions to copyist Henry Boewig.

The score was originally written for the 1903 theatre orchestra (around 30 players), and later Herbert went through the score and increased the orchestration for a bigger concert orchestra ofaround 60 players. When he altered things to accommodate 2 more horns, or another oboe and bassoon, he crossed out the original notes and replaced them with new ones. Tom and I felt like the Hardy Boys trying to read a treasure map.

Hi Larry. I've just been listening/watching Ron Raines sing "Gigi". A wonderful performance.

Good evening, DR TOMOVOZ!

Hisaka · « **Reply #14 on:** April 07, 2005, 05:26:23 AM »

DR TD: Sorry to hear that you’ve not been fine. Hope you’ll return to normal condition physically and emothionally.
I’m perky these days and enjoying beautiful cherry blossoms I can see everywhere I am. Oh, yes, cherry blossoms got blooming! It means Spring is in full swing here in this small country, Japan.
Took pictures of them and would like to share with you and all DRs, especially with some DRs having physical and emotional problems

Hisaka · « **Reply #15 on:** April 07, 2005, 05:27:37 AM »

This old small temple is located near my house and I always like to spend a time in cherry blossoms season.

Hisaka · « **Reply #16 on:** April 07, 2005, 05:29:40 AM »

Other cherry blossoms, in a small square near my house, with blue sky.

Here's a good luck wish for DR Rodzinski as he interviews today.

Matt H. · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2005, 05:38:13 AM »

As for DR Rodzinski's question about the longest American film musical number, I'd guess it would be "The American in Paris Ballet" which is eighteen minutes long. I don't think "The Broadway Ballet" in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is quite that long, but unlike the other ballet, it does feature singing as well as dancing.

Kerry · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2005, 05:52:14 AM »

Beautiful pics, Hisaka.

I am still reading the rest of yesterday's posts. I have to go and get ready for work and try to be perky. Ugh!

Good vicbes to all.

Matt H. · « **Reply #20 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:17:04 AM »

The Jackman OKLAHOMA is a weird rendering, I think. At points, we get the audience, applause, shots from behind so we see the crowd, and at other points, there is no applause after numbers, and it all seems kind of dead, like it's being filmed in an empty theater.

Thanks MattH. You know, I was thinking about the ballet in a movie we've been talking about lately, HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON. Never timed it, but it always seemed to go on forever. But no singing there either, I don't believe.

Matt H. · « **Reply #23 on:** April 07, 2005, 06:22:47 AM »

Now that we have a new day, I can say without reservation that I was delighted by the ouster of Nikko Smith last night on IDOL. I always thought he and Mario had similar voices, but Mario's was much more secure and on pitch. He also had a very distracting habit of touching himself in his genital area when he sang. I thought maybe one week it was just nerves, but then I began to notice that it happened a lot, and that the director would have the cameraman catch his performance from the chest up most of the time.

Anyway, the last of the really wavery singers is gone now. Every one of the remaining contestants has a secure voice when they sing to their strengths. Now, they just have to make song choices that show off what they do best and stay away from the areas where they're weakest.

I didn't even think of that one. When I think musicals with long numbers, I always think of MGM fare. I really keep meaning to re-watch HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN soon.

From what I saw of the trailer from the film it did look like lots of fun!
