And of course Love Me or Leave Me was Percy Faith's only Oscar nomination.

Charles I wasn’t sure if I should RACHEL AND THE STRANGER so I did a little on-line research and found it under Westerns. $:-\$

Our mutual friend is breaking ground on her new house Monday. I’m almost as excited as she is.

A little perspective on Bette Davis' comments on Errol Flynn in Mother Goddam. The book came out in '74. She didn't died until '89. Fifteen years for her to recant her opinions of him in E&E. I don't know when Olivia and she watched the film.

SWW I hope you are you feeling better now.

Elmore GOOD VIBES FOR TOMORRW!

Dan (the Man) WELCOME BACK!!

Bruce, cute statue and congrats on your other purchases.

We have a serigraph we purchased over a similar lithograph as the colors were more vibrant. A serigraph is a print created utilizing a silkscreen process.

TCB congratulations on your new role. I wish I could travel in June.

Matt H, GOOD VIBES on your upcoming audition!

Ben, thanks for checking on the humbugs. I’m sure I will enjoy the stores humbugs or not.

Mamma Mia! Here I go again...my my....

What a wonderful afternoon of fun. I enjoyed the show VERY much - the music was tremendous...and the singers could SING and ACT. The costumes were outstanding. And if I do say so myself, there was not a Sow's Ear in the cast. The women were stunningly beautiful....jaw dropping....double take gorgeous. And the guys were certainly worth a second glance as well.

No American Idol losers, rejects, or wannabes in this cast!

Of course meeting DRJOSE, DR GINNY and DH RICHARD, and DRJOEY was quite entertaining.

Yes the Indiana Local Wigwam of the Hee-a-watha was convened. Many things were discussed, names were dropped, secrets were revealed, and laughs were plenty. Photos from DR GINNY's DH RICHARD will be forthcoming. And DR JOSE took some photos as well with his shoebox camera.

DRJOEY is v e r y TALL! He is a pleasant fellow with good manners who will go far. DRGINNY is very funny and a great conversationalist, DH RICHARD is a gentleman who is also very good with a quip or story. Of course DRJOSE and I would barely let the others get in a word with a shoehorn, but then that's just the Virgo in us. In fact we two August 26th Virgos were waiting in the lobby for the others at 12:30. I had been sitting under a rather abstract painting drawing attention to myself, when I saw the person who I decided must BE DRJOSE walk by. I followed him for a bit and then said: "Jose!" He turned around and we met face to face for the first time.

Then my brother in law's brother and his wife walked by and I scared them as well.

I will leave other tidbits of the day for others to tell. Suffice to say that DRGINNY was elected President of the O-Hee-o Wigwam, DR JOEY will represent the Northern Indiana Wigwam, and I am representative at-large. DR JOSE was elected Emeritus and DR RICHARD was selected as official photographer and recording secretary.

DRTCB - I played Pawnee Bill in a production of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. And at my first rehearsal - since I come in on I think Page 55 - I just said to the director: "Isn't this rather late in the piece to be introducing a major character?" He said: just say the lines and be quiet.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #98 on:** April 10, 2005, 05:42:25 PM »

Good audition vibes to DR MATTH.

Errol Flynn - yes the Olivia comments make the documentary for me, although it's nice to see that Patrice Wymore hasn't gone the plastic surgery route. Errol Flynn movies were a favorite on my television when I was growing up. Frances Farmer used to show his films frequently, although I don't remember any specific comment she ever made about him. He was just SO handsome. One of his comedies NEVER SAY GOODBYE with Eleanor Parker has dialog and situations that still make me laugh.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #99 on:** April 10, 2005, 05:44:57 PM »

A BIG thanks to DRJOSE for the special "gift bags" we each received. It was a very thoughtful gift.

THANKS!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #100 on:** April 10, 2005, 05:54:54 PM »

So glad you went to the estate sale, MR BK. That is indeed a lovely bronze figure!

DR CP - I know what you mean, for me Robin Hood will always be Errol Flynn. I had seen it a couple of times in b/w and when it was first broadcast in color late one Saturday night - well it was another whole different ball game. I enjoyed Tyrone Power's fencing with Basil Rathbone in MARK OF ZORRO, but Rathbone's sword fight with Flynn in ROBIN HOOD is so full of emotion - the whole film leads us right to this confrontation - the music, the color, the costumes - whew! Now I want to watch it again, right now.

And of course there was the planned but unmade sequel to one of Doris's hit movies:

Love Me or Lease Me

Jane · « **Reply #102 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:33:06 PM »

JRand how fun to read your descriptions of today’s gathering. So what was in the gift bags we have heard so much about?

JMK · « **Reply #103 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:33:34 PM »

I am very excited. My engineer dropped by the CD of Unreleased Aqabala that had the digital quirk in it. Not only is that fixed, both songs have been completely remastered and sound more gorgeous than ever. So those of you who asked for CDs will be getting a special treat. I am burning copies as I type, so it's not too late to get yours. I think I'm about out of the "official" Aqabala release, but I may have a few more lying about in various nooks and crannies.

Speaking of which, does anyone remember the book/movie Every Little Crook and Nanny?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #104 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:35:15 PM »

I remember reading an interview with Dean Stockwell once where he enthused over getting to hang out with Errol Flynn when they shot a movie together when Stockwell was a kid. He said Flynn was one of the only adults who spoke to him man to man. And they hung out in Flynn's trailer, with Flynn giving him advice on the business.

Today I watched a good deal of the Doris Day-James Garner film THE THRILL OF IT ALL, which is a pretty funny affair. Gretl from SOUND OF MUSIC is one of Day's younguns.

Good dialogue:
Doris (to TV execs while watching TV play unfold): "Isn't this the same script as last week, but with Nazis instead?"
TV Exec: "Our audience will never be able to pick up on such subtleties."
Cut to Doris's Kids watching at home: "Hey, this is the same show as last week with different costumes!"

And, yes, I know that Stephen Foster did NOT write "Aura Lee".

Jane · « **Reply #106 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:37:59 PM »

I don't remember the movie.

Is the Unreleased Aqabala different from Shades of Light?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #107 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:38:43 PM »

Nobody doesn't like Aura Lee!

Yes, Jane, it's different--and I think you especially would love one of the tunes on it--it's Hannah Senesh's gorgeous "Eli, Eli," combined with a little chant of mine, The CD also includes Wayne Shorter's classic "Speak No Evil," with a new lyric by me and the instrumental I mentioned here a few weeks ago when our esteemed BK tried to usurp my brilliant pun--"Brother, Can You Spare A Paradigm?" Email me your address and I'll mail you one.

Except for the wacko who emailed me yesterday (see yesterday's notes). I looked her (him?) up today on Google. The guy's name who signed the email is a Minister in La Jolla. Wonder if he knows his wife is a closet Scientologist.

Watching Jumbo.

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?

AORTA! Oh, that was yesterday.

I can't even remember today's word because NO ONE HAS USED IT! Oh, yes, TESSITURA (ARUTISSET spelled backwards).

Rodzinski · « **Reply #111 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:49:56 PM »

Well, TESSITURA caused someone to say MAZEPPA, which made me think of MOZAREPPA, which is the name of these things they sell at street fairs here. Two sweet cornmeal flapjacks sandwiched around a piece of mozarella cheese. So at the store today, I found a box of frozen mozareppas. And that'w why I can blame this site for ruining my diet.

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:50:10 PM »

By far the actor I have watched the most is Humphrey Bogart;

Others that top the list are:

Ginger Rodgers
Myrna Loy
Audrey Hepburn
Jimmy Stewart
Cary Grant

Dan (the Man) while thinking about my choices I began wondering what character actors should be included. Henry Jones was the first that came to my mind.

Keith looked at my list and asked where the newer actors are and what about TV shows we have watched over and over again. I’m not even going there.

Joey · « **Reply #113 on:** April 10, 2005, 06:56:58 PM »

I'm back in good old Muncie. On the way up, I was quite tired and had to stop off at a gas station for a power nap. (Better safe than sorry.) Twenty minutes later I was back on the road and refreshed enough to make it up here though tonight is most definitely an early bedtime for me. We'll save the contents of the gift bag until we get the pictures loaded...

It's much more fun that way!

Ginny · « **Reply #114 on:** April 10, 2005, 07:00:22 PM »

Yes, the Ohio contingent is back from Indianapolis and I must confirm what Jose, JRand, and Joey have already posted. It was fun, fun, fun (as Eloise would say). Here's the first photo, from L to R: Joey, JRand, Ginny, Jose:

Ginny · « **Reply #115 on:** April 10, 2005, 07:04:01 PM »

Here's the second photo, with gift-bag evidence. In addition to Mamma Mia program books and coffee mugs, the guys got baseball caps and I got an apron. Thank you so much, Jose! And thank you, too, to JRand for the Annette CD - I had no idea she'd recorded so many songs.

Ginny · « **Reply #116 on:** April 10, 2005, 07:06:33 PM »

Last photo, taken outside the Butler University student union, at the conclusion of a sparkling visit. RE the buildings at Butler, DH Richard observed that the older ones are made of Indiana limestone (beautiful) trimmed in concrete and the newer ones are made of concrete trimmed in limestone.

Wow! Great shots, DR Ginny!

What a great time you all must have had. I want to hear all the menu choices, the impressions of the show, the gossip, the travel. Now that everyone appears to be home safe, this old whore's going to bed.

Night, all!

Ginny · « **Reply #118 on:** April 10, 2005, 07:12:35 PM »

DR Elmore, thanks for waiting up for us! And best vibes for whatever tomorrow brings

DR TCB - congratulations on your role in Annie Get Your Gun.

Bruce, as a collector of images of Reading Women, I love the statue.
