I’m back to The Avengers. Tonight’s episode is like The Manchurian Candidate meets Ratatouille.

I have loved this song since this version of it came out in 1968 on a 45, subsequently released on an LP two years later. For me, this is a textbook example of how an arrangement/orchestration can completely make a good song great, and Mr. Prysock, a wonderful and these days completely unsung singer, gives it a most perfect vocal. You cannot imagine how powerful this was back when it came out, the precursor, really, to Mama, Look Sharp. I've been addicted to it since the day I heard it and ran out and bought the 45 and then the LP when it came out. It is nauseating that it has never made it to CD. The arrangement/orchestration is by the brilliant Claus Ogerman. You can thank me later https://youtu.be/E6-ZedP3PwE The song is, of course, from Mata Hari.

Very nice.

Started watching Garbo Speaks - it's written poorly, but it means well and Anne Bancroft is great. But I've seen it so I'm looking for something else.

For example, I'm looking for page eight. Anyone seen it?

bk · « **Reply #193 on:** November 21, 2022, 07:39:21 PM »

I haven't.

Here's my question.

Now that I've VOMITED, even if was the first time in years, is there any reason I can't be in a movie?
Because, I dunno, maybe I could do it again.

Good night, all.

Here's to page eight.

bk · « **Reply #198 on:** November 21, 2022, 08:18:08 PM »

Wherever it may be.

bk · « **Reply #199 on:** November 21, 2022, 08:20:04 PM »

It may be somewhere.

My first Stephen King novel was "Salem's Lot".

I was at the Stars and Stripes Bookstore, adjacent to the Army exchange, in Vicenza, Italy, circa 1973. I was hoping to find an interesting read, and this paperback novel with mostly black cover but with an odd illustration on the front, caught my eye.

I read the write-up on the back and it promised a chilling tale of a New England town where people were disappearing.

Not one mention anywhere about "vampires".

I began reading on Friday evening and was well into the book when I got a sneaking suspicion that led me to exclaim to no one within earshot: "This better not be about a vampire!"

By the time I realized what it was, I was hooked. I read it over that weekend. And let me tell you that one morning I woke up, rather dazed and alarmed, and went into my bathroom and checked my neck for bite marks. Yes, I had been dreaming I was bitten.

I was relieved to fully awaken and greet the morning sun.

My very favorite King novel is "The Stand." For a while, it was the original version, but when the expanded novel was published, it blew away the first one to my mind.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #202 on:** November 21, 2022, 08:39:39 PM »

That's it.

That's all I've got.

I know it wasn't much.

I read and really enjoyed a lot of early Stephen King, but after the first couple of books from the Dark Tower series (and hus announcement that he was going to retire from writing), I lost interest and moved on to other authors and genres.

George · « **Reply #204 on:** November 21, 2022, 09:55:23 PM »

I can't remember if I'd actually read any of his books since then. $:-\$

Finished with my viewing and listening to Alfano's Cyrano opera - which is very enjoyable. Beautiful tunes.

bk · « **Reply #206 on:** November 21, 2022, 10:06:05 PM »

I don't have a libretto, of course, but I think it has something to do with a nose and love.

bk · « **Reply #207 on:** November 21, 2022, 10:06:23 PM »

Page eight must be around here somewhere.

bk · « **Reply #208 on:** November 21, 2022, 10:06:49 PM »

Something's coming.

bk · « **Reply #209 on:** November 21, 2022, 10:06:59 PM »

Is it page eight?
