I finished the orchestration, and tomorrow I will go through it, ascertain the page and bar numbers are correct, and make any changes.  It looks good.

We watched THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL last night.

Hadn't seen it for 5-6 years.

Who was that "innocent" young kid who played the would-be director of the movie?

I know him from somewhere...

I doubt that I’ve heard all the Sherbet symphonies, but I really took to the Ninth — or Seventh, if you’re George Szell. It’s been years, but I know I listened a lot to Szell’s (on Epic), Toscanini’s (some special release - was it a Soria?), and Walter’s on Columbia. We did it under Levine and I have a private recording of that. But I can’t say I’ve ever heard Munch’s, which kind of makes no sense. Have to check into that.

I also like the Unfinished (when conducted well, otherwise it’s just a warhorse I can do without), and I think the Fourth is the other one I’ve liked.

I think I have narrowed things down as far as colors of the house are concerned.

I have a strip with three grays and I want to talk to the color person about what's going to show best in the Texas sun. The names are strange.

Zircon
Knitting Needles (makes me think of Madame de Farge)
March Wind

The second color is called Recycled Glass and is a green with both sunlight and sage undertones.

The third, which is probably only for the front door, is called Greenblack. It's black all right, but you can see the green underneath. All of the colors go with the red brick very nicely, which is what I was sort of worried about, and they'll go well with the gray white roof.

Now, if I could only see them not on a computer and a little larger than the paint sample book.

It’s nice to hear that BK is enjoying some Mendelssohn. He is well worth it.

DR John G., if there isn’t already some app that loads a photo of your house and shows what it would look like with various sample colors, then damn it, there should be.

Back from some matzoh brei at Jerry's Deli - only me and one other booth far away.  It was good and low-calorie.  Just had fruit on the side.

The sight of Jean Gabin dancing is something I wasn’t expecting. Bet he had the time of his life making this movie.

Reading what DR CHAS SMITH wrote about Schubert's Unfinished Symphony reminded me of the one I wrote.

It's called:

Jack's Unstarted Symphony.....I believe it will one day be universally popular.....

I am waiting for the director to send me the next installment of Conversations With Jack - the new hit TV show that everyone in the county is talking about.

It has to go to the station on Monday, so I'm hoping he gets it to me for a "look-see" before that happens.

We have 81 views since Tuesday on YouTube with 89% of those coming from those following the link on the website.....

Most of them watch for about 10 minutes......although about 36% of them are gone by 6 minutes into the video.....
