Well, you've read the notes, the notes came to town along with Hansel and Gretel, and now it is time for you to post until the town cows come home.

BK, I hope you got far enough into the H&G video to hear some of Anna Russell's Witch. I realized that I have the mp3 file for the film soundtrack that was released by RCA in the 1950s. It's 57 minutes long, so at least 15 minutes of the film were cut for the recording, but it catches the score well.

My internet just closed down for a couple of minutes and now it's back up. This has been going on all weekend. I don't know if it's Spectrum's problem or mine.

BK, you might like Prokofiev's comic opera, The Love for Three Oranges, which is based on Carlo Gozzi's commedia dell'arte play, which in turn was based on an Italian tale.

I need to vacuum today, and I have an A&T story to work on. My proofreading drags on as well.

The Abbott & Costello movie was just okay...but it was in color (Their first).

Thanks, DR Jeanne, for the birthday wishes! To answer your question: I meet friends at Starbucks and for lunch a few times a week. We sit outside. I guess we won't be able to do that much longer. Every Saturday I do a video chat with my friends in Scotland. We watch a Streisand movie or TV special at the same time and discuss it and other things. On Wednesdays I have a chat with my California friends. We watch a movie between calls. This week's is "The Misfits." I also talk to other friends and relatives and video chat with my friends in Greece and England. I've been watching a lot of stuff on Netflix and Prime. I just started watching "Monk," which I had never seen before. I do miss traveling, of course.

It looks like I have my work cut out for me when it comes to Hansel and Gretel. BK’s description of the Eichhorn sounds great. DR Elmore had recommended that one, and the Karajan and Solti (film), each of which is tempting for various reasons.

I guess we won’t be forgetting the day Hansel and Gretel came to town any time soon, will we, kids?

Had a dream in which I had apparently decided to take up flying again because I suddenly realized that it was time for my fourth review lesson to start and I hadn’t even left for it. (The whole bizarre setting is something I’m not even attempting to describe.) I frantically tried to locate my shoes and my bag of supplies, while trying to call to explain I was running late. Then I wasn’t sure about the name of my instructor, and when they asked me for my address, I had to guess at that because I’d just begun living there. Everything (all of this and more) was going to hell in a hand basket, and it was a relief to wake up.

I'm looking forward to hearing this, but I do not understand why this cover is so ugly.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** November 23, 2020, 06:54:59 AM »

No one understands it, from what I’ve seen. What a mess.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** November 23, 2020, 06:55:49 AM »

But my copy is on its way.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2020, 06:57:43 AM »

Maybe.

I’ve gotten many emailed notices about it, and I’m still uncertain as to its progress.

Interesting image there, because RCA’s short lived “SelectaVision” video disc was one of the most reviled formats ever. I wonder if that was the same poor transfer we’re looking at today.

That soundtrack record was on the RCA Camden label. Maybe I can find a good clean copy.

Here’s someone’s crappy partial scan of its cover.

Dear Darlene....

Last night I watched HANNAH AND HER SISTERS which I enjoyed. It's one of my favorite Woody Allen movies.....

Thanks to DR VIXMOM for reminding me of the difficulties radiation and chemo can have on teeth. I had completely forgotten about that.

The first dentist can't get me in until February - the second doesn't take my insurance.....so I am still looking.....and looking like in inbreed with a missing bottom front tooth.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 23, 2020, 07:56:03 AM »

So I shall continue the search for someone to work on my choppers.
