Hot day today.

Last night at rehearsal some bozo actor messed up the handcuffs....hopefully they can get them fixed before tonight's performance.

I go to the gym every day.

"The gym" is what I call the bathroom.

We only have about 10 tickets left for tonight's performance, I hope it is a lively group.

Congrats to DR VIXMOM on her cash grab.

She should invest it into a MegaMillions ticket.

I really enjoyed watching the 1964 Shock Treatment last night. Most gratifying after decades of waiting for it. But believe it or not, I remain uncertain as to whether I saw it as a kid back then. Incredible, no?

Interesting but too-fleeting LA location shots in the film.

I have the movie tie-in paperback of the novel it’s based on. Have to see if it looks like a decent quick read.

Odd, to me, is that I don't know of any musicians who aspire to record solo albums like Hirt did...or Acker Bilk.

I am aware of one trumpet player -- Thomas Hooten -- who does classical recordings. Of course, there are pianists and violinists, but no one in popular music that I know.

Once I won a compilation set someone made of every instrumental song to make Billboard’s Hot 100 in the 1960s. I did the math. There were more instrumental hits in 1961 alone than in all the years from 1970 to the present. Not sure why instrumental pop hits dried up so much.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #76 on:** July 19, 2023, 07:56:13 AM »

I’m avoiding spoilers, but as enjoyable as it is, it seems like the main weakness of the film is the rushed aspect of one element of its conclusion.

Edit: Actually, the MAIN element of its conclusion.

Not to put too fine a point on it.

Also, it’s always been interesting how it almost immediately followed the release of Sam Fuller’s Shock Corridor. Similar themes on the surface, of course, but the two are wildly different animals.

Me, either.

I really loved Mason Williams' "Classical Gas".

Instead of great instrumentals, we get over-processed vocals by modestly talented singers.

DR Jeanne I am glad your experience with the dealership went well.

DR Vixmom I would happily visit you in Turtle Bay.

DR Rodzinski, it is nice to know Austin Pendleton was cool during your interview.

Wednesday afternoon greetings! Today Richard and I are returning to downsizing work here at home after delivering donations to Goodwill and the AAUW book sale site and having great piles of trash picked up yesterday from our curb.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe four hours of sleep. Will try for more but later. I think I'll do a quick Gelson's run and get something to eat, although I'm not really in the mood for anything, frankly.

I do have my 50% off coupon, but you have to spend 25 to use it, then they add 10.00 in fees and a tip so that eats up the 50% and you're paying at least the 25, which is, on the face of it, insane.

My journey down memory lane today was via a shelf full of souvenir program books, from which I’ve selected 5 that are must-keeps. The others are sorted into live shows (Broadway and touring companies), “road show” movies, and miscellaneous (one Peter, Paul, and Mary concert, one Kingston Trio, and the 1984 tour of figure skating champions).

Is anyone here interested in knowing what’s in those first 2 categories?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #85 on:** July 19, 2023, 10:37:00 AM »

I have a lot of this stuff, but I'd certainly be interested in hearing about the shows and the roadshow movies.
