Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in mono, and now it is time for you to post until the mono cows come home.

I added Leonard Soloway’s Broadway to my Amazon Watchlist. :) Sounds interesting, and I'd love to see Debbie Gravitte's interview.

Bk, about the CD that contains both film music and classical music of the unnamed composer...when do you expect to announce that one?

This morning at 10 I see my new barber for the second time.  I hope it's an easy walk.  Yesterday was a tough day for mobility.

Last night, we watched a weird Glenn Gould documentary. I can't even think of the name of it at this point. It was weird because it contained long segments in Russian, French, and Chinese with no subtitles. The sections featuring Gould himself were wonderful. He was such an eccentric.

BK, I don't know your feelings about Malcolm Arnold's music, but an opera commissioned by BBC television and then rejected for being too racy has been recorded.

I have never understood the "Judy" cult.  I do not swoon over her recordings, but I do think she was very talented. I do, however, think the footage of her aborted Annie Get Your Gun is an embarrassment. 

I especially like these films she made:
The Wizard of Oz
Meet Me In St Louis
The Pirate
Judgment at Nuremberg
A Star Is Born

I felt the same about Judy as BK. Zellweger’s performance was an underdirected mess of tics and irritations, coy and unsubtle.
