Woman orders a CD four days ago. Writes me yesterday morning and asks when she can expect to receive it. I sent her a response just now: You mean the CD you ordered four days ago that was delivered thirty minutes after you wrote your email?

Today was a day!

I ushered for the silent movie with live organ music series at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.

George · « **Reply #160 on:** September 24, 2023, 11:52:29 PM »

Today's movie was the 1924 silent move version of Peter Pan.

George · « **Reply #161 on:** September 24, 2023, 11:54:26 PM »

Dennis James, the organist, told how the movie had pretty much been lost because when Disney made their animated version, they bought the original 1924 version outright so that there would be no competition with their new version.

Oh boy, page 6.

George · « **Reply #163 on:** September 24, 2023, 11:57:08 PM »

The 1924 version was thought lost, but a complete and practically pristine copy was found at an old school for organ players that Dennis James had actually gone to.

I just realized that the story is on the Washington Center's website here:

The best part of the movie is, of course, the live organ playing.

George · « **Reply #166 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:05:31 AM »

And Dennis James' "solo organ transcription from his painstaking reconstruction of the original orchestral musical score that accompanied the film when it was first released nearly 100 years ago."

George · « **Reply #167 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:06:54 AM »

The whole movie was about two hours long, and it's pretty much all the same story, but having it be the very first movie version, and the original score (if reduced for an organ) that was written for that actual version is really cool.

George · « **Reply #168 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:12:21 AM »

So, my friends Margo and Shelly went to the movie, too.

George · « **Reply #169 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:12:59 AM »

I ushered, but Margo had a gift certificate for two free tickets for ushering so many hours, so she shared that with Shelly.

George · « **Reply #170 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:13:13 AM »

Both Margo and Shelly really enjoyed the movie, too.

George · « **Reply #171 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:13:33 AM »

It's one of the regular events at the WCPA that I always look forward to.

The other is the a cappella competition in the late winter/early spring.

Keep posting, fellas.

George arrives nine minutes before midnight.

bk · « **Reply #176 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:15:23 AM »

Jeez.

bk · « **Reply #177 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:15:40 AM »

And he hasn't posted a single thing in the last minute.

bk · « **Reply #178 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:16:00 AM »

We haven't been stuck on page six for the entire year, I think.

Everyone must have been watching football.
