Well, you've read the notes, the notes had musique and spoke of Francaise, and now it is time for you to post until the French cows come home.

French composers?  Bizet and Ravel at the very top.

After that, Debussy, Saint-Saens, and Andre Messager.

My friend kind of saved the day on these.  Her office has a beautiful color laser printer to which my inkjet can't hold a candle, and she put the covers on a heavy paper stock.  And they have the long reach stapler which is something I never got around to getting for myself here.  Anyhoo, they'll be on their way within the hour.

I also included copies of the four panels of the gatefold Pioneer Special Edition laserdisc that was all the rage in its day.  DR Jrand65, we could only print those on regular size paper so please PM me an email address and I'll send you the digital files which may be more useful.

French composers:

No one's said Berlioz yet.  Or Milhaud and Poulenc.  And I love those in addition to the usual suspects, so there you have it.

I know I'm forgetting a good additional name or two, but it's too damn early in the morning.

Regarding SILK STOCKINGS:

It's been many years since I saw the film, but as I recall, Janis Paige was terrific. 

BTW: When I was in college at the University of Washington during the early 1960s, I saw a production of the show at Seattle's outdoor Aqua Theater (Is it still there?)

The star was comedian Jan Murray, who was quite funny, but could not sing.  I believe he was a last minute replacement for Don Ameche.

The director has a Betsy Ross flag.....she wants me to put the other items on top of it, but I am not sure of the protocol of that.....I don't want anyone to be offended that I would essentially be using the flag as a doily.....

Title: Re: MUSIQUE FRANCAISE
Post by: ChasSmith on July 28, 2016, 08:22:54 AM
Speaking of which...

I had checked out the Flonase while in Walmart for something last week, but something told me the prices just weren't anything special and I waited.  So this morning I stopped into my old CVS where I'd first bought it since it went from prescription to over-the-counter, and the name brand looked to be about the same price. 

But wait!  CVS now has their own store brand, same ingredients, etc., and their own 2-pack was on sale -- get this -- for the same price as a SINGLE pack of the name brand.  Fifty percent, man.  Can't beat it.

I can't blame them DR JANE, I am hoping we can find an indoor flagpole....but then I don't think it's necessarily proper flag etiquette to display an out of date flag.

I have looked at some different websites, but there is no definitive answer.  Perhaps DR RLP knows.

When I directed "1776" back in 1976 (well, it seemed like a thing to do), I asked a teacher if her class might enjoy a project associated with the play.   They created a cardboard standee (about 6 feet) of the eaglet hatching from the egg.  We proudly displayed this standee, beautifully painted by the students, during our six performances.  I kept it for a while but, well, it sort of fell into disrepair along the years and was gotten rid of.

Had I considered it at the time, I'd have asked that it be done in plywood so we could make it part of the external marquee for the play.

We finished at 2:00; it was a 3-hour day.  tomorrow and Saturday are 5-hour days. 

David Lutken - who's amazing on folk instruments guitar, dulcimer, mandolin, and banjo - joined us.  He's in Ring of Fire (I think) in Philadelphia, so he drove up for the day and he will join us on Monday morning for our run-through before the 2:00 reading.  I promised him I'd have some new things to throw at him then. He is such a fantastic talent.

Ivy and Colin are really adorable children and too smart for their own good.  I like the cast very much, and today we added their instruments.

No DR Druxy, the Aqua Theater is gone, but not forgotten.  I believe I read, back in the 80's, that parts of the stage were still there, but half submerged in Green Lake.

I went to the dentist on Tuesday. I had several old, gold crowns that needed replacing and have been trying to get that done one at a time. Last month's was no problem. But Tuesday's knocked me out. Plus, I couldn't open my mouth all the way. My jaw was not at all happy and really tensed up. I've never had that happen before. In any case, it's gradually improving and I'm almost back to eating normally.

This dentist gives you the old gold crowns. I've never heard of any of them doing that before. I shall take them to one of those WE BUY GOLD places. Maybe it'll buy lunch.

Just finished watching the new Man from UNCLE movie. Good cast, especially Alicia Vikander and local boy Armie Hammer, but the script was horrible in that there were no characters and nothing to get emotionally involved in. Add to that listless direction (both script and direction courtesy of former Mr. Madonna, Guy Ritchie), and you have a beautiful looking film that tries to get by on nostalgia without heart.

The folks who do the lawn are really nice. They live a street over and have promised to keep an eye on the house and yard while I'm in Louisville for a month.

I got a call from them this afternoon and the woman who handles the business for her husband said he told that he always loves to see J.B. through the back window. They offered to take care of the bird while I was gone, if I needed it. I thought that was nice, even though J.B. will be going with me.

Back from a good band rehearsal and then run-through - I have a lot of little notes that I'll send via e-mail, and I did a little bit of cute staging on one number.

That was very nice of them, and even better that J.Bruce. is going with you.

I can't blame them DR JANE, I am hoping we can find an indoor flagpole....but then I don't think it's necessarily proper flag etiquette to display an out of date flag.

Good luck finding a way to display it without offending anyone.  I wouldn't blame them either, not that I would be offended but I would think it odd to use it as a doily ;D


I would suggest framing Betsy's handiwork.

We finished at 2:00; it was a 3-hour day.  tomorrow and Saturday are 5-hour days. 

David Lutken - who's amazing on folk instruments guitar, dulcimer, mandolin, and banjo - joined us.  He's in Ring of Fire (I think) in Philadelphia, so he drove up for the day and he will join us on Monday morning for our run-through before the 2:00 reading.  I promised him I'd have some new things to throw at him then. He is such a fantastic talent.

Ivy and Colin are really adorable children and too smart for their own good.  I like the cast very much, and today we added their instruments.


Takes one to know one.

Nope, but thank you.  I'm a good craftsman.  At times.


I believe the interview was with Legendary Orchestrator Larry Moore.

I had a tiny Caesar and a chicken Caesar wrap and then because I hadn't had time to eat anything else all day, and since they so rarely have it, I had a tiny piece of pumpkin pie, as you know the least caloric of all pies at around 220 calories per slice.  So, I believe I'm around 1000 calories and I did the jog.
