Enjoy!

Good morning.

[John G.]

Finishing episode six of The Gilded Age.

[John G.]

Roger Ebert once wrote that no one has been able to capture the awe and majesty of fireworks on film. In To Catch a Thief, they're used effectively, but they're used for a different and more blatantly sexual reason.

In The Gilded Age, fireworks are used to mark the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. It's all boring, despite the oohs and ahs of the cast.

There's lots of fireworks in the video for the Katy Perry song "Firework"

 - as long as rhyming "boom, boom, boom" with "moon, moon, moon" doesn't bother you

[Freddie]

Wow, that Katy Perry video has 1.4-Billion views!  I wonder which sites she posts her link on.

[Freddie]

That's even more views that Bobby Banas and the Nitty Gritty.

Glad you enjoyed (and will enjoy again) Sweeney, DR George.

Thanks, Singdaw.  I forget how wonderful a large orchestra can sound for show scores!

[George]

I function at my highest level when I eat fresh, in-season produce:

[George]

~~~CONTINUED MULTIPLE MODERN MAJOR MIRACLE VIBES~~~ for the likes o' BK!!!!!

~~~SUPER DITTO!!~~~

[George]

DR singdaw, I did see the Cast Recording List emails about Life Begins at 8:40. This project was too ugly and too deceitful to want to go back and discuss:
1. my music prep team and I were sacked by the Library of Congress after I requested the unprepared and maladroit conductor be replaced by a competent one; I suggested Rob Berman.
2. I asked to be removed from the credits.
3. The conductor and his "director" included material that was never to my knowledge put into the score and the new material was orchestratyed by Glen Daum.
4. I wasn't at the concert before the recoprding, but I was told the conductor was stilprepared.
5. The inept and maladropit conductor was replaced halfway through the recording and conductor Eric Stern finished the recording.
6. It should hav e been a 2-CD set.

Oh, my goodness!

[George]

The turmoil of 2009-2010 work on that score still rankles. What hurts even more is that I kept my music prep team working between 2007 and 2014 with projects like the Chicago Humanities Festival, and, now that I need work, I'm never asked to work on any of their projects.

That's terrible.

[George]

I, too, enjoyed George's Sweeney repor.

Thanks, John.

[George]

I, too, enjoyed George's Sweeney repor.

Yes, that was most enjoyable.  Thank you, George, for posting about the experience!

Thanks, Freddie.

[George]

I, too, enjoyed George's Sweeney repor.

I did, too! I got caught up in unpleasant memories and forgot about Sondheim and Todd.

Thanks, Larry.

Yes, to the first one. 

I agree, fireworks are more beautiful in person.

[Jane]

New Years Day in Sydney we watched the fireworks on a big screen while working out.  While lovely, they did not come close to the beauty of what we saw the night before.

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - surely, nine hours of sleep.

[bk]

Mr. Morgan should sue his board. There are many people who would come forward on his behalf.

[bk]

Guess I'll go see what Gelson's has to offer me on the pleasant Valley Sunday.

[singdaw]

 

[Freddie]

That's wonderful, singdaw!

[John G.]

True. Or if Vixmom would just win the lottery.

[John G.]

I ain't asking for much.

[John G.]

I wonder who will play the USAA Christmas party.

[John G.]

It's supposedly on Dec. 7, the night of Joy's dance party, so I won't be able to go.

[John G.]

Still, if it's somebody great ...

[John G.]

I think Earth, Wind and Fire were my faves.
