Hmm...

Maybe I'll make a trip to the Oyster Bar in Grand Central to try their Clam Chowder. They make both the New England and Manhattan (of course). And they will even serve both in the same bowl. Sounds good to me!

I just don't know about Mr. Suskin. He spends much of the Charity "review" railing about the orchestrations, and how unnecessary they are. He says that Mr. Fosse was working with "songwriters" that he'd worked with before and had a good time with (I don't believe he'd worked with Miss Fields before). He says if you want to hear a Ralph Burns "score" you should go see Chicago. Kander and Ebb wrote the "score" - Mr. Burns supplied the orchestrations.

He then goes on to "review" the 1970 cast album of the Judy Carne/Sandy Duncan The Boy Friend. He writes of Sandy Wilson's disdain over the new orchestrations that were foisted on his show. Mr. Suskin doesn't have a problem with the new orchestrations, which he likes, even though the score's composer did not like them, and they are not true to the concept of the show.

Well, I'm heading out for a bit... Just want to do some more exploring on foot. I still need to find where there the Pathmark and Duane Reade is in my neighborhood - everyone just keeps saying they're down the hill. So, I'm guess I'll be going down the hill.

Laters...

Interesting article, DR SWW.

My review of A NEW GUY IN TOWN is now up at Amazon.com. I must mention that I ended up NOT liking one of the tracks and go into a bit of detail why in the review. Just at warning.

Horse racing and all that, you know.

DR elmore - I keep meaning to ask you... Is your current work on The Golden Apple related to the concert staging(?) coming up in a few weeks somewhere up the Hudson?

August 28, Bard College. Yep. I may need some help. Want to volunteer?

I believe she is a co-author of REDHEAD.

I once packed a wallop to take to Canada, but it was taken away from at customs because wallops were on the endangered species list.

RE: The film version of Carousel.

I understand the European version does not have the prologue.

Redhead was Fields? Well, we'll give that back to Mr. Suskin then, but the rest of my criticism stands.

Is Jrand the only one who's listened to the Guy Haines album? I HAVE gotten several lovely private e-mails from denizens, but very little here, I must say, besides Jrand and Pogue.

I've read Jrand's review on amazon - very nice. I don't necessarily agree with all of it (both yay and nay, BTW), but that IS what makes Ye Olde Horse Racing.

bk · « **Reply #39 on:** July 24, 2005, 10:53:27 AM »

Oh, and the other thing that annoyed me in Mr. Suskin's "review" was his comment that Sweet Charity was based on an "old" Fellini film - a very dismissive and silly comment. La Notti di Cabiria was all of ten years old when Sweet Charity was written.

...And I indeed did go down the hill... A very short hill as it turns out. There are two corners down there that have been recently redeveloped. One corner has the Duane Reade, and one corner has the Pathmark. I was surprised at how big the Pathmark store was. It's one of those places that doesn't look all that big from the outside, but once inside... Nice and roomy aisles too. Alas, no instore bakery, but I think I can manage elsewhere.

And now I shall take a walk down Amsterdam for a couple of blocks, then I'll most likely hop on the A to Columbus Circle and hit Central Park while the sun is still out. And then I'll head back here for a quiet evening of TV and laundry.

Anyone need anything from Whole Foods?

There is a local cafe I like to frequent (infrequently, as it were) whose house specialty soup is a very spicy, thick tomato soup. Several chunks of cambozola cheese are added to it just before serving and it's accompanied with some wonderful toasted sourdough bread.

If it weren't for that establishment's wonderful hot dish dish called Chicken Chili Lime (steamed vegetables meet meet chicken grilled in a chili-lime butter sauce and served with a garnish of mashed potatoes) -- well, I'd order the soup each time I go there. But the Chicken Chili Lime...is......ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...ahhhhhhhhhh....su blime.

It is so hot, it is hard to think of soup.

I liked Campbell's Chicken Noodle when I was growing up.

Cream of Chicken is my favorite now.

Perhaps I'll have soup tonight when I sup, should they have something interesting.

Tammy should be here shortly and then we will be on our way to rehearse for two count them two hours.
