Well, you've read the notes, the notes had close encounters, and now it is time for you to post until the close encountered cows come home.

And the word of the day is: ENDONYM!

singdaw · « **Reply #2 on:** October 13, 2020, 03:41:41 AM »

I am voting to put an ENDONYM.

I have never seen either Close Encounters or ET. I should remedy that.

singdaw · « **Reply #4 on:** October 13, 2020, 03:48:31 AM »

Not a lot else to report at the moment.

Hope your nose recovers, DR TCB!

Good morning, all!

DR Laura, I suspect both you and I suffer from nasal polyps. I need to reschedule that surgery from a year ago.

DR John G, yes, I worked on the Encores! Paint Your Wagon. I restored the long missing 2nd bass/tuba part from the full scores. That was a delightful production, and luckily some of the worst added lines to the edited libretto were cut (something anachronistic about the wordplay on miners and minors was completely wrong). Keith Carradine is such a kind man, and the cast was so good.

I had hoped to see Joshie today, but the news says we are in for another rainy day. I just sent him an email asking to postpone a day.

DR TCB, Stella is a biter. I think it's a sign of affection, but it's also a sign that she plays rough. I read that this is often a case when cats are separated too early from mother and siblngs.

Good morning, all.

So many surgeries and “procedures” - past, present, and future.

VIBES for DR singdaw and everyone else recovering or contemplating new such adventures.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2020, 05:32:26 AM »

Our little Kali was sometimes a biter cat. It was 100% affection, but some cats never lose that as a means of expressing their undying LUV.

Last night I caught a reporter interviewing Trump supporters at the Florida rally. I would swear that science has discovered algae with higher intelligence than these idiots. I could not believe the sheer utter stupidity and misinformation they spouted.

I‘d guess I felt that way when seeing those Spielberg films, even if it wasn’t so much a conscious thought. I mainly remember being blown away those first few times, in a way that probably hadn’t happened before. This goes for seeing Jaws at the Pix, Close Encounters and Poltergeist (however much he did or didn’t actually direct it) at the Paramount, and E.T. at the Dome, followed by the Picwood.

I made it through Act One. Will watch the rest later. The male chorus has some great voices. Someone named Nathaniel Hackman did a great version of They Call the Wind Maria.

I just got an email from Joshie, and all is good. I will look over my orchestra score, cross T's and dot I's, and then declare it finished. I want to finish going through a reader's thoughts on my A&T book. I'm still trying to get this search and correct spacing after a period to work.

The first two that come to mind are Merchant Ivory’s A Room With a View and John Waters’ original Hairspray.

The first sounds of that orchestra bringing the score of Paint Your Wagon to life is something I can never forget.

British conductor John Wilson asked me about Hackman when he was casting Curly for his Proms concert of Oklahoma! and I was happy to recommend him. He's a good guy. Here's the Proms broadcast. Hus Laurie is my beloved Scarlet Strallen, who played the lead in The New Yorkers and whom DR Ginny, Richard, and I saw in A Gentleman's Guide to Murder.

BK is so right about the Harlem and Cuba sequences in Topaz. I remembered those two almost exclusively after first seeing it, and so looked forward to them on my return.

Same with Torn Curtain and its tense set pieces — the chalkboard conversation, farmhouse murder, and the bus ride. And yet so much else in the film is such watered down Hitch.

Surgery vibes for DR ELMORE & DR singdaw.

Tuesday morning greetings! It's a bee-yoo-tee-ful fall day here in SW Ohio. We had a doozy of a thunderstorm last night and it cleared all that nasty humidity outta here.
