Well, you've read the notes, you've juggled the notes (as well as the balls, the notes have juggled you (as well as the balls), and now it is time for you to post until the juggling cows come home.

Why is tomovoz just sitting there like so much fish?  Was it something I said?  No circus memories?

Speaking of circus memories, I've never been able to find that fershluganah David Seville disc - most annoying, as I could be playing Camel Rock right now.

I've seen two performaces by Cirque De Soleil which I enjoyed very much indeed.

My childhood memories of Circus: I always loved the "Flyers" best. Even in those less politically correct times I did not care for lion tamers and caged animals.

Did you try Amazon in Japan BK.  That's where my David Seville disc was from and it was less expensive than the price on the USA site.

Speaking of Camels (not necessarily named Clyde) it is now way afer midnight at the Oasis - send your camels to bed.
The loudest concert I ever attended was by Maria Muldau.

I love Midnight At The Oasis.  I must play it right now.  But I cannot play Camel Rock.  Perhaps I'll ask dear reader Hisaka to snag it for me.  She's been absent because she spilled some wine on her laptop keyboard, and apparently her laptop keyboard doesn't drink.  It's at the Apple Store now sobering up.

We've discussed Circus movies before but I loved "The Greatest Show On Earth" (maybe I was less discerning as a 7 year old). "Trapeze" , "The Flying Fontaines" and "Three Ring Circus".

"Amazon" Japan does have English translations BK.
If I can order from them - anyone can do it!
(It is difficult to read the emails they send though!)

We've discussed EVERYTHING before.  There are no new topics, only variations on old topics.  I suppose we could have a topic such as "When was the last time you wore a tunic?"  Or, "When was the last time you wore a Jonathan Tunick?"

I don't know why I have an aversion to ordering from amazon jp.  I just got a lovely package from amazon.de - I think I get worried about the payment page not being in English, and that I'll screwup the shipping info and stuff.

Let me know BK - there is always the alternative method of adding the CD to your collection.

I picked up a gig on the 31st so I will have a bit of extra dough.  I wonder what I could buy that would be good to read?  Hmmmmmm.....  I know I will think of something if I just try.

Favorite circus movies:

THE BIG CIRCUS with Victor Mature and Peter Lorre and Vincent Price and Rhonda Fleming and David Nelson....
a walk across Niagara Falls on a tightrope, a saboteur trying to do the show in...and the bad guy is....well you will have to see the movie!

TRAPEZE of course, GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, THE BIG SHOW with Esther Williams and Cliff Robertson.

Never went to the circus in real life....never wanted to.

Magic acts....a comedien named The Great Kobe or something like that is funny and amazing!

So I'm channel-surfing and find out I have two channels that I didn't know I had...one if the FINE LIVING CHANNEL.  The other is BET's JAZZ CHANNEL.  I stop there as they were showing a black and white Frank Sinatra TV special and it was the most amazing thing...a real record of our times.  Here's Sinatra singing Gone With The Wind, wreath in the smoke from the cigarette he is smoking (during interludes in the song).  And while he is actually looks utterly lost in the song, it is the most casual thing...he scratches under his eye at one point; at another, just before singing the last line, he puts his hand up to his mouth and slightly coughs...right in the middle of the song.  Interestingly enough, it didn't really detract from the emotion of the song.  It turns out this show was the Timex special ("We thank THE UNTOUCHABLES for relinguishing their time in order to present this special.  It will return next week at it's usual time.") where Sinatra welcomed Elvis back from the army.  But long before Elvis comes on there are bits with Joey Bishop (as sort of the second host), Sammy Davis junior (doing impressions), Peter Lawford (singing and dancing with Sammy) and the Tom Hansen (?) Dancers doing these rather cheesy dance numbers.  One filmed on the beach with the four boys and three girls in calypso outfits.  Elvis comes on late and does Fame and Fortune and Stuck On You and then he and Sinatra do their Love Me Tender/Witchcraft duet.  All very weird and fascinating.  If the Jazz network has more shows like this, I may have to visit it more often.

Circus?  I'm not much for Circuses or Magicians really.  I think I've been to the Circus maybe twice in my life.  I went to the Magic castle once.  That was actually fun.  I also...a long time ago...worked in an entertainment complex in Dallas and had to teach my young magicians stage presence, write them jokes, and direct their acts so that weren't utterly lifeless.  That was fun before I got to see how certain illusions were done.  I always liked Mandrake the Magician.

DR PENNYO it would be an honor to have you, but since you cost more than $0 - we can't afford you!  But thanks!

Actually, I never think of these things, but I'm sure I blabbed on and on about how disgusting that job was and how I really detested the guy who ran the production company (he's why I wasn't asked back to Cowboy U).

It's funny, I just checked back before I was going to toddle off to the bedroom environment - I thought there wouldn't be anyone here, and yet we have a quorum on the forum.

PANCAKES, baby, PANCAKES!  I haven't eaten since five.

This evening I am listening to the beautiful voice of Mr Damone. He's kissing in a shadow at the moment. He's already had an affair to remember.

I love Vic Damone and agree with Frank Sinatra's assessment of him:  "The best pipes in the business."
