Title: THE THIRTY-MINUTE ALBUM
Post by: bk on June 06, 2018, 12:07:56 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were thirty-minute notes, and now it is time for you to post until the thirty-minute cows come home.

Post by: George on June 06, 2018, 12:34:37 AM: The Manhattan Transfer's CD are generally around the 45-minute length. A couple of the members have had solo recordings in the 30-minute length and as much as I would just love them all to be longer, they really are complete albums and are always very good. :)

Post by: George on June 06, 2018, 12:36:21 AM: If I remember correctly, a couple of recent (within the last 10 years or so) Bette Midler solo CDs were about a half hour, also.

AND we added a Tuesday performance....and sold 50 tickets in two hours.....so things are moving along as usual.

Last night's family night rehearsal was fine....knock wood....it seemed to be a success....and there were even some tears at the end of the show.

My new sister n law and her daughters had NEVER been to a stage show and they were fascinated, involved, and loved it....and it's ANNIE! HA!

So tonight, dress rehearsal, additional production photos....and then Thursday - we open in Venice....

DR Jrand67, is it too late for you to be squeaking in under the Tony deadlines this year?

Can he get all the Tony voters in to see it before the Friday June 8 voting deadline? If not, oh well.

:)

I think "Boys in the Band" didn't meet the deadline either. So that's good company.

Have you ever tried reading e-books on an e-reader? I am always amazed when avid readers say that they prefer real books. To me the kindle is the greatest invention. It is so convenient and so much easier than reading an actual physical book. You can adjust the type size. It is so much lighter. You can carry it around everywhere. You can get books immediately. I never thought that I would love e-books. But honestly I would be fine never reading a physical book again.

And I have a new wig....so life can go on.....

DR TCB - my NEW Nez Perce glasses came in the mail today...SO my Franklin will be the talk of the town...

DR FJL & DR CHAS SMITH - yes indeed I hope to have all the Tony voters in Thursday and Friday for a big write-in vote for Sunday.

Fingers crossed.

I believe we'll have nine or ten.

Post by: Jane on June 06, 2018, 09:41:35 AM: I looked at the e-readers and didn't find them an easier to read, interesting. Maybe it is because of the night/black backlight I find easier to look at.

Can you choose your favorite vocal CD you've produced over the years and explain your choices for the sequencing of the songs?

I have several favorites, and I don't know that I've ever revealed how I sequence an album - I'll have to look in Album Produced By and see.

Post by: bk on June 06, 2018, 11:02:30 AM: I'm up - doorbell rang at eight - tree people needing access. Moved my car and since then they've done nothing. I'm not even sure they're here - the machines are so maybe they bring those and do it another day. I went back to bed but I don't think I got over six hours of sleep.
Title: Re: THE THIRTY-MINUTE ALBUM
Post by: Jrand74 on June 06, 2018, 11:38:31 AM: DR CHAS....it's not really a band.....we have piano, keyboard, percussion, two trumpets, and a bass guitar!
Title: Re: THE THIRTY-MINUTE ALBUM
Post by: ChasSmith on June 06, 2018, 11:45:51 AM: Then that's your band. It's whatever you've got. You could do worse.

I believe the original pit was only 13-14 players. Only one violin and one cello, for instance (?). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I got that from one of the people who conducted it later in the run.
Title: Re: THE THIRTY-MINUTE ALBUM
Post by: ChasSmith on June 06, 2018, 11:52:06 AM: The production I'm playing in could probably have had it all, and I don't know why they aren't going for it. Small venue, but they've handled that and more any number of times. We all know this show sells tickets, and more tickets pay for more musicians. Or should!
Title: Re: THE THIRTY-MINUTE ALBUM
Post by: Jrand74 on June 06, 2018, 01:36:32 PM: It should yes.....those trumpets really add to the show....and our percussionist is very creative....

I am doing the curtain speech with 9 year old newsboy Bryson....and we end with a golf swing accompanied by the Johnny Carson-Doc Severinson percussion bit.....
Title: Re: THE THIRTY-MINUTE ALBUM
Post by: Jrand74 on June 06, 2018, 01:37:03 PM: Off to the final dress rehearsal....and more photos....so my new wig and pince nez will be captured for the posterior.

There's no question that e-readers have several major advantages over real books. My preference began with my love of books and reading; I didn't want any changes to that experience. But there's now another issue: my wonky eyes. I've been having a lot of trouble with my eyes since the surgery and online reading, which I do much of the day, doesn't help. I have trouble reading paper books, too, but it's somehow a different visual experience. No question that there's an e-reader in my future. Right now my main concern is a good back-up to my Macbook. I do take your points, though.

I was forced to switch because of my shoulder, however, prior to that it was getting more difficult to see the print on some of the books. I don't know why it is so darn small and light.

Post by: Jane on June 06, 2018, 05:00:42 PM: The planter next to our door was by far the ugliest planter in all 7 buildings. Most of the planters are under open skylights. Ours is covered as are a few others. These were "planted" in dirt with nice looking artificial plants, all except ours. Our planter was a pile of broken rocks with a few nice larger rocks mixed in and tired looking artificial inserts of plants.

Keith & I went on a search for new plants and found them at several different stores. We also purchased dirt. Last night we walked down to the beach and found a nice hunk of textured bark from a tree.

Today Keith finished the new planter and it looks better than the live planter next to us. Our next door neighbor is thrilled as is our neighbor above us.

The first place I lived when I moved East was an apartment in Crystal City in Arlington, VA. The train passed by. The rumble always felt like an earthquake. It made me feel right at home.

Feeling right at home 😊😊😊

Sixteen years ago today, one of the best dance instructors at Arthur Murray was in a motorcycle accident and lost a leg. It took her awhile, but she finally realized that she wasn't all dancing. And she's been rebuilding her life. She has turned to animal rescue among other things and has been posting videos of a pitbull she's recently saved. Sweet looking critter.

It is beautiful that she has found a rewarding new way of life.

Post by: bk on June 06, 2018, 10:49:05 PM: Amazingly, I was given a video of the new My Fair Lady production - watched it. There are parts that are good and parts that aren't. Quality was excellent. Then I watched the first twenty minutes of the new Carousel production and it is more wretched than I'd heard - it's like a grammar school production with some of the worst blocking I've ever seen, a horrible, cheap-looking set, and terrible costumes.

Today, my mom had foot surgery. She has been having troubles lately and she told me that they were going to "stretch her Achilles' tendon." :o She's home now and is resting comfortably. I'm leaving work now and will go over there for a while.

Healing vibes for your mother!

Thanks, Jane!
