Title: THE EASY LISTENING EVENING
Post by: bk on October 13, 2019, 12:30:46 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were easy and listened, and now it is time for you to post until the easy cows come home.
Title: Re: THE EASY LISTENING EVENING
Post by: bk on October 13, 2019, 12:31:57 AM: And the word of the day is: TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
Title: Re: THE EASY LISTENING EVENING
Post by: FJL on October 13, 2019, 12:36:38 AM: First after BK.

(though I admit I haven't read the notes yet. Time to do that.)
Title: Re: THE EASY LISTENING EVENING
Post by: FJL on October 13, 2019, 12:47:48 AM: Bk wrote in the notes: "makes the show look more successful than it probably is, but, for me, it’s specious."

I think I may have said this last night, or at least thought it - They know it's specious, but it sounds intentional because those long lines of people standing to buy tickets were gone due to phone sales and computer sales. But they loved those, too, since they got the per-ticket service charge for Telecharge, and that wasn't subject to royalties (even though to the buyer, you can call it whatever you want, it's part of what we paid.).

Post by: FJL on October 13, 2019, 12:48:11 AM: And they now with no shame float the fiction that it was caused by the added security of 9-11-2001 but the lines were there before that
Title: Re: THE EASY LISTENING EVENING
Post by: FJL on October 13, 2019, 12:52:40 AM: Oy vey, just noticing that "The Full Monty" where I first saw those (pointless) lines was at a Jujamcyn Theater, the O'Neill.

But that trick sounds more like Rocco than Jack, just like that specious "theater restoration fee" which they also had tried to keep out of the artist royalty pool for quite a while, was a Jujamcyn invention.

Title: Re: THE EASY LISTENING EVENING
Post by: FJL on October 13, 2019, 01:29:06 AM: When did writers of musicals have to look like they sound more time at the gym than writing? Adam Gwon ten years ago was a delightful charming regulaly nice looking guy who could sell a funny quirky song.

But in this weekend's Times: (it recalls how Marlboro Man great John Weidman always looked in press when he was doing Pacific Overtures, as if audiences should care what the writer looks like when they buy seats)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/08/theater/adam-gwon-scotland-pa.html

And then the article has the director and head of the Roundabout saying things that seem atrneg for a piece on the writer.

Post by: FJL on October 13, 2019, 10:58:00 AM: It keeps occurring to me, even when I see candidates who don't look like anything to look at in their 50s, they almost all were really attractive when they were younger, if they caught in with then public Like I didn't recall Tim Kaine when he ran as Hillary Clinton's potential VP from law school at the same time as me, though his wife was extremely familiar as someone I'd spoken to quite a lot by then studen mailboxes and such. and a classmate said look in the yearbook from the 1980s -you'll remember him. So I looked and yep, when he started in politics, he was, shall we say, extremely "charismatic."

Title: Re: THE EASY LISTENING EVENING
Post by: ChasSmith on October 13, 2019, 06:04:51 PM: It was a good run.

And the cast really didn’t want to break up. The closing night par-tay went on to all hours. As did I. And I paid for it dearly when I had to arise after about four hours sleep to drive to the Poughkeepsie area where I was substitute pianist for a church service.

From there, however, I was able to take the most beautiful country roads back to our playhouse for strike. I changed clothes, all the cast showed up, and we had another fine time getting our sh stuff out of there. My car is still packed to the gills with two keyboards and associated equipment. Tomorrow I clean the Music Room and set everything back up.

Post by: bk on October 13, 2019, 06:23:32 PM: Listening to music - it's interesting - when I go onto YouTube to see what else might be there for composers I discover and like, I always end up finding new composers I've never heard of so last night I found a Swiss composer who's terrific - Richard Flury. I got all his major works off YouTube and into iTunes, which is good because CDs of his music go for quite a bit of the dough.

Fortunately, the printing of the pictures only cost 14¢ each, so it came out to $23.52+$2.19 tax for a total of $25.71.

They do! You can even get the pictures put on a DVD! AND they even refill some (quite a few, actually) printer cartridges for only $9.99!

It's all done very quickly and with not much detail. Of course, they're not going to take care with trivial things like the actual performers. :P

He also was the voice of Marvin the Paranoid android in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Quote
Stephen Moore first performed the role of the "manically depressed" robot with "a brain the size of a planet" in the second episode of the original radio series in 1978.

His character became one of the most popular in the series and he continued to voice the role across five radio series, a television adaptation, and in a recent stage show.

When he retired from acting the role of Marvin was taken over by Jim Broadbent in the sixth radio series last year.

That is true. I do have some 8-1/2 x 11 inch photo paper, but it would've taken quite a long time to print out 168 pictures, even if I printed two pictures on each sheet. It took less than a half hour at Costco.

Post by: TCB on October 14, 2019, 12:11:24 AM: My brother-in-law went to Costco the other day, and one thing on his list was for some Imodium, but he couldn’t find it on the shelf. Finally, he asked about it, and was told that it was kept behind the counter in the pharmacy. He asked the pharmacy for two bottles, but they would only sell him one bottle because it is a controlled substance.. WTF?
