Moving on to page 10…

In which we discuss the Tony Randall Show in which he played a judge.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #272 on:** September 19, 2024, 11:16:25 PM »

Just kidding. I remember very little about that one.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #273 on:** September 19, 2024, 11:17:37 PM »

Off to YouTube the Love, Sidney theme and see how close I was…

Rodzinski · « **Reply #274 on:** September 19, 2024, 11:19:33 PM »

Okay, I missed a chunk of verse and the fact that Swoosie sings too!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #275 on:** September 19, 2024, 11:21:01 PM »

Oh dear, apparently there’s a Season 2 theme where it’s sung by Gladys Knight. Lame!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #276 on:** September 19, 2024, 11:28:10 PM »

44 episodes over 2 seasons, so a decent run.

Page 10, baby - that's what I'M talkin' about.

Here's an article about the Gypsy orchestrations and what's being done - they sure mention a lot of names but do NOT mention elmore. Very irritating.

Bruce Vilanich has a new musical coming.

That's pretty cool.

Well, the Judy Collins concert was really good.

George · « **Reply #281 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:07:37 AM »

I don't know what the final count was, but there were 470 or so pre-sold tickets, which is just under half the house.

George · « **Reply #282 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:07:52 AM »

But the people who were there loved her and the show.

George · « **Reply #283 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:08:49 AM »

I think the main reason for the small crows was that it wasn't a Washington Center sponsored show...it was a rental and whoever rents does all their own advertising.

George · « **Reply #284 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:09:12 AM »

The other concessionaire that I worked with said that he only saw ads on Facebook.

George · « **Reply #285 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:09:30 AM »

No one heard any radio ads, and nothing was in the local paper. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #286 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:09:57 AM »

That's too bad, because when she performed as a Washington Center event, the house was practically sold out.

George · « **Reply #287 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:10:10 AM »

Oh, well. It was a good concert.

George · « **Reply #288 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:11:56 AM »

What was interesting though, was that she had the lyrics in front of her, but I don't know if she had lyrics for all her songs (after shutting down concessions, I went up to the mezzanine and didn't have binoculars to see) and the only lyric that she screwed up was "Send in the Clowns."

George · « **Reply #289 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:12:43 AM »

She couldn't remember the word 'farce,' but eventually did get it.

George · « **Reply #290 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:12:53 AM »

But the audience loved her anyway.

George · « **Reply #291 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:13:07 AM »

Her concert format has always been the same.

George · « **Reply #292 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:14:11 AM »

She literally just stands there with her guitar and any other performers around her (tonight, she also had a pianist with her), and she just sings.

George · « **Reply #293 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:15:02 AM »

She tells stories about some of the songs, and about her life and the people that she's met along the way, and she just sings...and she still has that range!

George · « **Reply #294 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:15:43 AM »

She sang one song that was over two octaves!

George · « **Reply #295 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:16:32 AM »

Near the end, she sang the high note (one of many during the song), and then went down an octave and hit that note, then went down another octave and sang THAT note!

George · « **Reply #296 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:17:12 AM »

Her high notes are still fairly strong.

George · « **Reply #297 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:17:38 AM »

She never had any trouble hitting whatever notes that she wanted to hit.

George · « **Reply #298 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:18:27 AM »

She also sat at the piano and accompanied herself, and I forget that she can really play quite well...not just simple chords.

George · « **Reply #299 on:** September 20, 2024, 12:18:48 AM »

Also, there was no intermission...just about 90 minutes straight through.
