I have heard of the Jimmy Awards but I do not know anyone who has participated.

I am taking my camera so when Cousin Pam gets up to lead us prayer I can get a picture of her face when I ask: "Where's your head covering, sister?"

I don't know if this was mentioned here or not, but authorities have found remains in the San Bernardino mountains that they think "may" be those of actor Julian Sands, who has been missing since January.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #64 on:** June 25, 2023, 07:41:25 AM »

I liked Julian Sands so much when I first saw him in "A Room With A View". I thought, at that time, that he would have a much bigger career than he had, but he did fine work in many films anyway.

When I think of "A Room With A View", I have a strong memory of being amazed at the performance of Daniel Day-Lewis as Cecil Vyse. I had seen him in only one other film: "My Beautiful Launderette".

I think I must have categorized him, mentally, as a strong character actor, but I had no idea how much he would impress me in his future film projects. I think he is astonishingly gifted.

I see we have two guests (count 'em, 2).

I wonder if they will crash JRand's family reunion? Will Cousin Pam be amused?

Likely not.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #67 on:** June 25, 2023, 07:46:36 AM »

I am very grateful that my previous post, #66, was not my 6th post on this page.

Don't need the evil karma.

DR Ron - when we met for lunch, I didn't know what you looked like.

So i was standing outside in the street at the appointed place and time. When anyone slowed down or seemed to be approaching me, I said: "Ron? RON?"

I got some very strange looks.

singdaw · « **Reply #69 on:** June 25, 2023, 07:59:05 AM »

But I am used to such things.

singdaw · « **Reply #70 on:** June 25, 2023, 07:59:13 AM »

Resigned, really.

singdaw · « **Reply #71 on:** June 25, 2023, 07:59:30 AM »

Because I am somewhat strange.

singdaw · « **Reply #72 on:** June 25, 2023, 07:59:41 AM »

And like attracts like, they say.

If you dropped a box of crackers, would you have cracked crackers?

singdaw · « **Reply #74 on:** June 25, 2023, 08:00:28 AM »

Try saying THAT ten times fast!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #75 on:** June 25, 2023, 08:14:25 AM »

I am on my way to the family reunion/rumble.

Pray for Rosemary's Baby.

I guess that is why I didn't have to ask everyone if they were "David". You were there asking everyone else if they were me. I guess i could have said "No" and kept going. But, you looked so friendly and interesting I just had to say "Yes." Plus, I had seen photos you had posted of yourself and knew your face. I didn't reallze how tall you would be, though.

I don't recall if I knew what Rodzinski looked like when i first met him or not. I was expecting him at my work site (I think).

I wish I could have spent more than just a lunch time with him. I would like to have shown him some of the East Bay.

I also had the pleasure of meeting and supping with former DR JoseSPiano and Monkey. That was when he was in San Francisco while "Lestat" was being performed. He was going to meet with the conductor and was associated with it when it went to Broadway.

(What a disappointing show that was for me, although it had some amazing high points).

DR George, thanks for the detail on the HHW photos.

Jane · « **Reply #80 on:** June 25, 2023, 09:00:54 AM »

I am glad it was a nice tribute.

I have not eaten at David's Deli on Geary Street.

When we lived in Tiburon we rarely went into the city.

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** June 25, 2023, 09:05:02 AM »

DR George, Sharry had asked if I wanted something. I declined but suggested you might. I am glad she found just the right keepsakes for you.

Jane · « **Reply #84 on:** June 25, 2023, 09:05:48 AM »

I was tempted to ask for a small Titanic keepsake. If only I wasn't trying to downsize.

Today, the family is getting together at my sister's house for some of her vegetarian enchiladas. They're really good. After dining and probably some Phase 10 (or maybe Scrabble) playing, my sister wants to reset the foam pad on top of the chicken shelter because it's slipping off. That'll take some time.

What does your sister fill the enchiladas with?

Today is the family reunion.

Of course the cousin who created the Facebook group has gone off the rails.....she wanted everyone to list what food they were bringing and just a few folks commented.

So she then said Okay - everyone bring their own picnic lunch....and we'll have a church service and big prayer before hand.....

I said.....come on, Pam! Although I was thinking something else. I wrote it's a pitch in or what's the point? No reply.

Of course there are many different religious organizations represented in our family - so I guess everyone will get a turn.

And it's raining. So that's perfect.

Oh my.

Nothing of note has happened since my last post of last night.

I am looking forward to today's Zoom chat with my fellow film music lovers. I presume we will discuss film music during the course of our chat. We have all gotten so familiar with one another that we discuss other issues. And we discuss nonsensical things, as well. But mostly sensical things, I guess.

One of our members is a musician (composer/conductor) with the Joffrey Ballet. He used to coordinate music for the Jimmy Awards. The Jimmy Awards are a national celebration of outstanding student achievement in high school musical theatre. They are presented by The Broadway League Foundation and recognize individual artistry in vocal, dance, and acting performance. The winners and nominees are selected from regional competitions across the country and perform on a Broadway stage. The awards are named after the late Broadway producer James M. Nederlander.

He has a love of film music,but enriches our chats with tales of the ballet doings. Composer Thomas Newman wrote a piece for the Joffrey over the last year and this guy worked on it. His name is Michael Moricz.

I see why you are looking forward to your Zoom gathering.

Not mentioned yet but I did read they believe he has been found. While the news is as expected, at least his family will know for sure.
