Well, you've read the notes, they were filled with TLC and ennui, not necessarily in that order, you've fought vainly the old ennui and also the young ennui, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're spreading TLC (Twenty Large Cowdroppings) and then they'll be home.

TLC is one of my favourite Jimmie Rodgers songs (1960).
Transmogrify - Ah! the magic of Harry Potter.

Recording session(s): "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts club Band" or "Bridge Over Troubled Waters".

The recording of "The Stephen Schwartz Album" would have been magic too.

Of course I realise that all these were done in a number of sessions but "magic" is about.

The recording of the original cast of "Follies" would have been a good place to be IF I had the influence to get them to record the whole show.

I'd be right there with you, Tomovoz at the Follies recording...and hopefully adding influence!

I'd also love to have been at the recordings of:

Gypsy (actually, it'd be pretty cool to have been at ALL of the different recordings)
Nine (the original complete cast recording)

And how about at Thomas Edison's very first recording session!  THAT would've been an event! ;D

And the recording session(s) to The Manhattan Transfer's very first (self-titled) album!  And "Extensions," which was Cheryl Bentyne's first recording with the group.

I'd like to have been at the Gypsy and Follies sessions, just for fun.  But I would LOVE to have been at the Bill Evans Conversations with Myself sessions.  That would have been something.  

Other sessions I would love to have attended: The To Kill a Mockingbird Elmer Bernstein sessions - just to see the reaction of everyone hearing that music for the first time wedded to the images.

The Richard Harris/Jimmy Webb sessions for A Tramp Shining.

Good morning, DRTomovoz!  4:30 is too early for anyone to be up, but my body is shouting "Finish the damned show!" so here I am.  I've got the longest musical number in the history of mankind, and it's taking forever to score.  I'm also thinking about some of the underscoring and thinking I should go back and rewrite a bit.  The curse of neuroses.

TOD:  
I've always wondered why in the 1956 CANDIDE OBC recording, the Old Lady and Cunegonde sing in the Governor's Serenade "My Love"  since isn't published as such in the original vocal score and original libretto.   Maybe I'd learn the answer at the session?

Also, the recording of the cast album for Julie Andrews' CINDERELLA, for Russell Bennett, Rodgers & Hammerstein, at that amazing cast.

Hmm..I don't think I've ever been alone on the board in all the four days I've been posting here.  

Well, for me today, TLC stands for the Tax Legislative Counsel, since I'm off to a full-day seminar called "Closely Held and Flow-Through Entities Conference" - but I will be going in a cab courtesy of the Taxi & Limousine Commission (also TLC).

Closely held sounds more sexy than it is, but there should be interesting people there.  I'm going to hear all the new rules about TRANSMOGRIFYING one's little business into a vast empire, too.

Today's also the birthday of one of my best friends, and I let him know in advance that he'll be getting the "After the Ball" CD as one of his presents.  He was seriously very pleased.

At the moment, waiting until we have new kitchen and stereo cabinets, our CD’s have been packed away.  I don’t even know where Keith put them.  I should find out so I can transfer a few into my car.  Bruce, I’m sorry to say, until I have a new CD player I won’t be purchasing any CD’s.

Sitting here with a large iced coffee as we are supposed to have a record hot day. At 6:30 when I left the apartment it was already 80 degrees and with approximately 75 to 80% humidity it will feel like 100-105.

I'm listening to Elaine Page on BBC Radio 2 (her weekly show) and she's playing selections from Carousel. Being in the studio for either that show or Oklahoma would have been sweet. There are many other shows I would like to have seen. Even though I've seen the Pennybaker film I would have loved to have been present at the Company recording, especially the Elaine Stritch sequence.

More later.

Why thank you Tom.

Not as easy as it sounds.

But maybe one of sessions where  Guy Haine recorded a song and where I could have catch a glimpse what he looks like.

You would have met my goddaughter's mother Dona there; she was in the Vocal Minority.

TOD:  I immediately thought of being at one of the Beatles' sessions.  Were they all in the studio together for Sgt Pepper?  That would be my first choice.  And the White Album would be interesting to see the stress and strife happening amid the laying of tracks.

It's just occurred to me that I don't have a single Beatles song on myPod.  I'll have to rectify that this week.

FOLLIES would be have been nice to see.  So would MUSIC MAN.

From the documentary I've seen, COMPANY was fascinating but a little intense.

Actually, the sessions for JEEPERS CREEPERS would have been fum.


Or even fun.
