Danise - After hearing about your digital camera woes, I just put an extra set of batteries in my bag for tomorrrow's Mamma Mia gathering in Indianapolis. I hope your Ren Fest flu doesn't last very long.

Might I just ask where in tarnation IS everyone? We're not on vacation, you know. Why, AORTA do me some fancy bitch-slappin', that's what AORTA do.

But, I won't. However, when I return from seeing the new Woody Allen motion picture, I would sincerely hope and trust that I'll have some posts to read.

Jane - This week I've been putting together my trip to Chicago, June 24-28, to attend the ALA Conference. Tell Keith that I'm looking forward to riding the Gale buses.

Ginny if I had other “lovely” voices to sing along with I might not be so shy. However, I’m not sure I can overcome a lifetime of being told PLEASE STOP SINGING.

Well, our dear friend Elmore helped me a lot in that area, but I still consider myself a non-singer. He directed me in the role that best-suited my musical talent, the Mute in The Fantasticks!

Ginny, I passed along your message.

Keith says to avoid the extra garlic pizza at Pizzeria Duo.

The complete score to "How the West Was Won" was released by Rhino on CD several years ago. It's in dazzling stereophonic sound and is the definitive recording of that score of all that have come and gone.

It's Alfred Newman's magnum opus and quite possibly the finest blend of original music and American folk music ever assembled for one film. The choral work is stunning.

Jane · « **Reply #128 on:** April 09, 2005, 06:48:43 PM »

Yes, the Mute works but if you can sing at all around people then your concept of the quality of my voice is far too high!

She has matured into a very lovely young woman and, thanks be to the Most High, she has lost that annoying little girl munchkin voice.

course if there are any questions on who sang on what Kimmel produced album all you have to do is go to www.brucekimmel.com where you also find the Larry Moore Info page

TCB, I wish folks would just get off Prince Charles' back!

DR Charles, I was being quite serious when I noted that Camilla looked very lovely in the wedding photos that I saw this afternoon. I am sorry if you took offense to my comment, but, frankly, I don't know how to post my comments with a non-smiley face to show that I am being serious.

Ginny · « **Reply #133 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:07:44 PM »

Jose - Thanks for the great NYC pictures! I sent the one of niece Laura and myself to her, her mother (my sister), my mother (her grandmother), and my aunt (my mother's sister). When the 5 of us are together, which doesn't happen often, we have someone in her 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's, and 40's.

Jane · « **Reply #134 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:11:01 PM »

TCB-LOL. We need non-smiley faces just for you.

I didn't think you were joking and checked out the wedding photos. I hope they will be very happy. The entire situation was very sad.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:14:46 PM »

Thank you, Jane. Charles is a very nice man, and I hope that they will both be very happy.

Jane · « **Reply #136 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:18:43 PM »

You are welcome.

Ginny I passed along your last message.

Must say "Goodnight," all. It's been a long day, at the end of a long week.

Jed · « **Reply #141 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:46:39 PM »

Been rather E&T the past few days. The one downside to having a job, I suppose. But actually getting a paycheck yesterday after so long was a wonderful thing, I must say. Also picking up some major overtime. All day today at time-and-a-half and all day tomorrow at double time... I'll take all I can get!

Jane · « **Reply #142 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:52:47 PM »

Is Ann also getting overtime?

Jed · « **Reply #143 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:56:11 PM »

Yup! We're both raking in the bucks... more or less.

Jane · « **Reply #144 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:57:47 PM »

That's great!!!

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:58:37 PM »

Off to watch something.

JMK · « **Reply #146 on:** April 09, 2005, 08:01:53 PM »

I've always considered Alfred Newman's magnum opus to be The Greatest Story Ever Told, though I do love the score to HTWIW. I'll tell you what bothers me even more than Debbie Reynolds in HTWIW--that damn "seam" that runs down the length of the image where the cameras overlapped. Drives me batty every time I watch.

My copy of Ryan's Daughter is up to $22.05. So I guess I've paid for the new DVD twice over.

Thank heavens it's going to be a WB release; if the MGM side had done it, it would no doubt be in the 45 minute version.

I know it wasn't Goldwyn. I believe it was Selznick. Weren't Selznick films released by MGM?

Nope, just GONE WITH THE WIND and that was because Selznick needed their help in financing the movie and the services of Clark Gable. His other independent features were released through United Artists, I believe. (Of course, he was a lot producer at MGM in the mid-30s responsible for DAVID COPPERFIELD, A TALE OF TWO CITIES, and others.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #148 on:** April 09, 2005, 08:17:55 PM »

The Cinerama "seams" don't bother me at all for it or THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM. Wonder why that one hasn't made an appearance on DVD? Seems like someone asked about it at a Warner chat once, and they said it was in terrible shape and would cost too much to repair for a DVD issue that they didn't think would pay for itself.

It isn't a movie that's at the top of anyone's list, I guess, but it does have some marvelous fairy tale sequences, and it did win a costume design Oscar.

TCB · « **Reply #149 on:** April 09, 2005, 08:20:06 PM »

Matt, congratulations on the new television. It looks fantastic.
