Well, you've read the notes, the notes wore shorts, and now it is time for you to post until the short cows come home.

Notes perceived. Experienced.

Thanks for the Ratings Game recollections, BK. Goomba Goomba Goomba…

Did you produce your contributions yourself?
Did you do some of the instrumental themes, like the Hill Strret Blues takeoff for The Dawn Patrol? Or only the vocal songs.
How involved was DeVito with the music?

Also the MBC promo theme is so perfectly real. “We’ve got the shows…”

George, I attended a benefit concert of In Trousers in 1993.

I think it was recorded.

Will investigate.

Yes!
They recorded some of it, if you’re interested.
Please excuse the language.

Chip Zien is Marvin…this was before Michael Rupert was involved.

I know they recorded that Falsettos reunion, but I can’t find it in their extensive catalog.

The catalog from L.A. Theater Works is wonderful, and everything is available for purchase.

I have a feeling this will be of interest to many here on HHW.

One more note on Falsettos.

I was watching some of the songs on YouTube, and was surprised to see Mandy Patinkin in the role of Marvin.

Am I the last to know?

DR Iris · « **Reply #12 on:** July 11, 2023, 02:43:40 AM »

TOD:

I frequently look forward to seeing film versions of musicals, and am almost always disappointed.
Examples:

Nine
Hello Again
Sweeney Todd
Into The Woods
Thr Producers

DR Iris · « **Reply #13 on:** July 11, 2023, 02:44:52 AM »

I no longer have high expectations for any musical-film adaptations.

Am open for suggestions.

Thanks for the link, Iris! And I knew about the "language." Of course, it doesn't offend me, at all.

No, you weren't the last to know! I didn't know about Mandy being in the show.

George, after listening to both, I much prefer the original recording of In Trousers.

Pass The Sugar Please is one of the saddest end of marriage songs I’ve ever heard.

I think the title of the song is actually A Breakfast Over Sugar.

I wrote all the music for all the themes like The Dawn Patrol and all those music-only things, and the lyrics for those that had lyrics. DeVito had nothing to say about the music. I'd worked with the producer several times and he loved my parodies and the stuff we did together, so he knew I could deliver. The composer of the score did the orchestrations for my stuff and I was at all those sessions. I know DeVito was super happy with the themes.

I have MP3s of this concert. It's my understanding that it was only broadcast on the radio, so no physical product was made available to purchase.

Today is day 1 of Amazon's two-day deals extravaganza.

I was up rather early and bought a new electric toothbrush. This one may be special because it seemingly talks to you and tells you how to brush various segments of your teeth.

I may have to bitch-slap it if it gets annoying, but otherwise, I'm looking forward to using it.

FWIW, it is 6:15 a.m. here in Johnston SC on this 11th day of July 2023.

The skies are clear and it is 68 degrees of temperature. High should reach 90.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #27 on:** July 11, 2023, 03:36:36 AM »

That's it.

That's all I know.

From here on, it will be gibberish (moreso than before, that is).

Slept okay. Not brag-worthy.

Dreamed dumb dreams, one of which had to do with some associates doing a negative video review of something ~~that~~ for which they had already done a positive video review ~~for~~.

They needed my help with some aspect of starting their recording, but they stupidly thought i did not realize what it was they were doing.

I knew, as they didn't, that they were only allowed ONE review and it had already been recorded.

I was bemused.

With that silly thought...
