Post by: elmore3003 on December 07, 2015, 04:03:51 AM: I slept soundly last night for three hours, then I was wide awake - I think I had a ghostly visitor - for a long while. I was sleeping when the air around me changed and I woke to a bitter smell that I first thought was a fire. Then it was gone, and then it occurred again.

When I finally nodded off, I was dreaming about this Dreidel Song and it's layout:
opening
verse 1 in D
transitional material
verse 2 in F

verse 3 (key)?

Post by: Elan on December 07, 2015, 05:36:57 AM: Happiest of birthdays to DR Jane!

I first really heard "Take Five" some 15 years ago, on a sampler CD that someone left in my office (Cornerstones: Sony Legacy), and was just blown away. I was never a big jazz person, but that piece just jumped out at me and grabbed me by the throat.

TOD:
Streisand's "Not While I'm Around" and "Adelaide's Lament," first heard in my late teens, sent me on a lifelong exploration of Sondheim in particular and musical theater in general. I was probably heading that way anyhow, but those were the pioneers. Rush's "Hemispheres" album turned me on to their unique sound. My parents played a mix tape of Tom Lehrer and Flanders & Swann around me when I was a wee lad, and I've been singing "novelty" music ever since. Most recently, the "Goat Rodeo Sessions" supergroup formed by Yo-Yo Ma, Chris Thiele, Stuart Duncan, and Edgar Meyer performed their composition "Attaboy" on the Colbert Report, and I spent the next month frantically playing it for EVERYBODY I knew.
Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: Jrand74 on December 07, 2015, 05:38:20 AM: DR SINGDAW's ribbon posted yesterday reminded me of the time Dom DeLuise was on the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.

Dom was talking about one of the movies he had made with Burt Reynolds and was going on and on about handsome Burt was and what a ladies man he was. Johnny finally said: "Well, he puts his pants on one leg at a time, just like anyone else."

And Dom replied: "Yes, but he has more opportunities to take his off....."

The audience laughed for quite a LONG time while Johnny tried not to.

Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: Ginny on December 07, 2015, 07:20:51 AM: Monday morning greetings! Well, our Sunday didn't unfold anything like we'd intended. Richard and I were going to visit a church in Dayton in the morning and attend our local MESSIAH performance in the afternoon. He'd complained Saturday evening of some stomach upset, so we decided to cancel the Dayton church visit. He got up yesterday morning thinking he was better enough to continue with our afternoon plans, but crashed about 1pm and decided about 4:30 that he was sick enough for Paramedic Rob to take a look at him. Rob suggested we drive Richard to the ER, so we arrived about 5pm and were there until 11. They performed all kinds of tests and diagnosed severe gastroenteritis. The good news is that it's not something serious, but the bad news is that it's highly contagious. We're washing our hands a lot...

He actually died on Dec. 5, 2012.
Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: John G. on December 07, 2015, 07:26:39 AM: TOD:

When I was 2 or 3 years old, the soundtrack to Mary Poppins was it.

Then, when I was 12, hearing the score for A Little Night Music changed it all again.

A Long Last Love introduced me to Cole Porter at age 15.

Mahler's Symphony No. 1, Titan, was another musical milestone. I was about 18 or 19 then.

I know of it but haven't had the opportunity to use it. (I think there's a trial version...) It would certainly appear to be a godsend for contemporary scores, if a bit pricey for venues that can barely budget enough to pay their musicians a decent amount. Thanks for the heads up!

This was also reported on the Criterion Forum today by a highly respected film researcher, and elsewhere by a few others in the biz. It apparently derived from an anniversary reposting of the NY Times obit.

OMG is right, DR ChasSmith. Fortunately, the ER was very quiet last night and I had Paramedic Rob to help me get Richard there. As soon as we were settled, I made him call his wife to pick him up so he could get some more sleep before going to work at midnight. He had just left the house when we got home, but called to check on us before going on duty.

I went and found a few of the "shares" and straightened them out. I'm really irritated that I was Facebooked. Normally, with any death, I automatically go to Google but it was late.

Just found out that the Studio City Daily Grill is closing right after the New Year. Shocking really. I wonder if other branches will be closing.

Too bad. The one in Brentwood closed a long time ago. After moving here we met a friend at the one in Portland and had a delicious lunch.

Hey! I get to hit my millstone again!

I forgot that a chunk of our posts went missing because when I went into the HHW Photobucket account, your 35000th post was already saved! I wondered who did it, but then I realized that it must've been me. Anyway, I uploaded it to Photobucket again because it deserved to be saved again:

Monday morning greetings! Well, our Sunday didn't unfold anything like we'd intended. Richard and I were going to visit a church in Dayton in the morning and attend our local MESSIAH performance in the afternoon. He'd complained Saturday evening of some stomach upset, so we decided to cancel the Dayton church visit. He got up yesterday morning thinking he was better enough to continue with our afternoon plans, but crashed about 1pm and decided about 4:30 that he was sick enough for Paramedic Rob to take a look at him. Rob suggested we drive Richard to the ER, so we arrived about 5pm and were there until 11. They performed all kinds of tests and diagnosed severe gastroenteritis. The good news is that it's not something serious, but the bad news is that it's highly contagious. We're washing our hands a lot...

:o

~~~Stay Well Vibes for EVERYONE!!~~~

It's a wonderful tribute to Mr. Brubeck, and the added note works fine. I have a number of really nice Brubeck LPs, which I just happened to look through and play recently. I do not have the Points on Jazz ballet, though, and that will have to be rectified.

I think I need to look into that, also.

Post by: Ginny on December 07, 2015, 01:17:24 PM: TOD - as a freshman at the University of Michigan I was placed in the newest dorm, which was on North Campus near the School of Music. Even though I had to ride a bus to get to Central Campus where all my classes met, I ended up staying out there all 4 years - 2 in that undergrad dorm and 2 in housing that was for juniors, seniors, and grad students. So many of my friends were music majors and I learned from them to appreciate classical music, including opera. One of my best friends, a piano/music education major, just retired from a distinguished teaching career at Eastern Michigan University.

Post by: George on December 07, 2015, 11:36:39 PM: Topic of the Day: I first really discovered musicals without realizing it. Several times while growing up, my sister and I had watched the movie version of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. I don't think that I knew what a "musical" was, but we just loved the physical comedy in the movie (and the running gag with the mare's sweat). We never forgot that movie, but didn't really learn anything about it, like who wrote it. We were too young to think about such things.
Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: George on December 07, 2015, 11:37:36 PM: Then when I was in eighth grade, I had to write a report on geothermal energy (I don't know why I still remember that) and my mom took me to the local library to get some books. I also looked through the library records to bring something home that I could listen to while ~~copying~~ writing my report.
Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: George on December 07, 2015, 11:38:14 PM: What I brought home were the original Broadway cast recordings of Ain't Misbehavin' and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Interesting choices, huh? I probably got them because of the album art. ST was just so weird and I liked it, but I fell absolutely in LOVE with AM! I still love that album cover art.
Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: George on December 07, 2015, 11:39:05 PM: Anyway, I also fell in love with the recording of Ain't Misbehavin', but I also thought that the recording of Sweeney Todd was kind of weird. I didn't listen to it very much, but I didn't hate it. As I got older and went into high school, friends of mind taught me about other musicals, and in choir we sang songs from musicals, and I started to really like them.
Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: George on December 07, 2015, 11:40:04 PM: I discovered A Little Night Music, then (I think) Company (and a whole bunch of other musicals), and then rediscovered ST, which I fell in love with after those few years. I finally realized that those were all by the same composer and he also composed the score to Forum! I realized that I was hooked on musicals and have been ever since!
Title: Re: TAKE FIVE
Post by: George on December 07, 2015, 11:42:40 PM: All during this time, I was also discovering The Manhattan Transfer. I mainly learned about them through choir. Both my middle school and high school choir teachers loved them. And it really helped that many of TMT's arrangements were published for choirs to perform! I learned that the soprano was from Mount Vernon, Washington, and thought that that was really cool! I've been in love with them ever since. :D
