Well, you've read the notes, the notes were tonal, and now it is time for you to post until the tonal cows come home.

Yesterday was a day.  I got to sleep in, then I went downtown to Olympia Family Theater's production of their own musical adaptation of The Wind In the Willows.  This is a remounting.  They first did it about seven years ago.  I ran the sound board for that production. 
Title: Re: A DAY IN A TONAL WORLD
Post by: George on December 15, 2019, 12:28:58 AM
They wrote I think three new songs for this new production.  The new songs are good but I don't think the new opening  number quite fits the rest of the score the way the others do.  I did enjoy this new production, but not as much as the first production that I was involved in. ;D

Post by: George on December 15, 2019, 12:34:55 AM
After seeing The Wind In the Willows, I went into work for about a half hour, then went home for about a half hour, then went back downtown to work concessions for one of the local ballet company's annual (biennial?) production of The Nutcracker.  Pre-show is always easy, but intermission is always a bit of a madhouse, and this year it was no exception...but we got through it.
Title: Re: A DAY IN A TONAL WORLD
Post by: George on December 15, 2019, 12:49:50 AM
My friend Margo also worked concessions (she recently took the concessions training) and did well enough, but doesn't think she'll work concessions again.  You miss too much of the show.  That's why I'll usually work concessions when I don't care to see the show.  I just want to support the center and get some time in. :)
Title: Re: A DAY IN A TONAL WORLD
Post by: George on December 15, 2019, 12:52:05 AM
After concessioning, we went to Red Robin for dinner.  I had their Caesar's Chicken Wrap (https://www.redrobin.com/menu/sandwiches-wraps-soups/caesars-chicken-wrap.html).  It was pretty good.  I had a $50 gift card, so I used that.

DR Jane asked about scratching posts.  The cat tree's six columns are  scratching posts and those are now scratched to nothing and the reason I want to get a new cat tree for them.  They also have a new scratching post in the bathroom and we're on our second floor model which sits at the foot of the cat tree and our second ramp which sits besaide the cat tree and leads to the first landing of the tree.
Title: Re: A DAY IN A TONAL WORLD
Post by: elmore3003 on December 15, 2019, 04:47:54 AM
That cat tree was purchased in October 2017 for Annabelle, before I adopted Thatch, and now all three cats fight over the crow's nest for sleeping.  The next will accommodate more than one cat.

We've now got three good reviews to offset William Oser's negative.

Here's the funny part.  When he reviewed Dearest Enemy, he slammed my orchestrations for not being true to the period, although I would swear it's impossible to tell mine from the only existing one by Harold Sanford.  So, he listened to The New Yorkers on Amazon with no liner notes, and I have the impression from his review that he thinks they are the original orchestrations.

So...I'm running on barely over five hours sleep. It was important that I drop into a just-divorced friend's holiday open house last night, and I'm glad I did it, but that kept me up way later than is desirable on the night before a matinee. But hey. Sometimes that's what we do.

This evening after the show my lovely housemates and I will partake of a birthday dinner at our one and only favorite Chinese jernt here in town. It's the last remaining "real" sit-down Chinese restaurant in the area. Kristi's family went there for many years, and when we walk in we get the best treatment. Sadly, most of the business is takeout, and I don't believe I've ever enjoyed a nice crowd in there. Not that I go at the right times. But the food and service are marvelous and it's always a wonderful throwback to a better past which was populated with such wonderful Chinese places.

The Michigan uniforms were exactly the same color as the floor of the gym - it looked like disembodied heads and legs and arms were running up and down.....

And with Oregon in those GREEN uniforms - it looked like Lemons vs. Limes.....

It's like when my stalker leaves a bad review from having read a sample of two or three pages on the Look Inside of Murder at the Magic Castle.  That they allow this to stand is the problem.  I guarantee you this guy ONLY listened to samples if he listened on Amazon.

It seems I have to do some work tomorrow with the nursing home where Dad is before my mom signs away more than she can afford.

The show I ushered for was the Children's Choir of San Antonio. Thankfully, it was only an hour or so. Excellent music, but it still ran a little long.

Then it was off to Central Market, the gourmet grocery in town. I did get a loaf of Bavarian rye to take with me as well as a porcini risotto with white truffle seasoning to take on vacation.

There was also some amazing chocolate specials that I had to indulge in. Had to, you know.

I found two dark chocolate bars with gin and tonic flavoring. We tried one later. Some got a juniper aftertaste.

I just got a great chocolate feeling.

After that, it was margaritas and Mexican food for dinner, accent on the former.

Watching The Bishop's Wife. We've come on one of my favorite scenes, when the boys' choir goes into overdrive. I get goosebumps as they sing.

Two more tarts in the oven. I think this might be an even dozen, which is light for the year.

Today, I have no plans for the day until 5:00, when I'm going to a production meeting for Olympia Little Theatre's next show, Equivocation.

Well, I didn't have any plans, but I did go out before the production meeting.

I went to Carl's Jr, and had their Beyond BBQ Cheeseburger.

It's a Beyond (plant-based) patty with barbecue sauce and onion rings and cheese.

Post by: George on December 15, 2019, 09:54:56 PM
It was pretty good, but needed a little more barbecue sauce, and the cheese wasn't very melted.

I'm not just running the sound board, but I've actually been asked to design the sound! 
Title: Re: A DAY IN A TONAL WORLD
Post by: George on December 15, 2019, 09:57:16 PM
I've never done that before, but there aren't a lot of sound cues, so I hope it's not too difficult.

What will probably be the most difficult is putting together the pre-show and intermission music!

pug the director said that it doesn't have to be period music (whew!) but what kind of music should it be??

My musical interest (and knowledge) is vocal and musical theater music, but I don't think Sondheim would be appropriate for this. ::)

Wow. One of the great performances of all time, at least as far as this song goes, with Stephen Sondheim and Angela Lansbury applauding at the end.

If I could go back in a time machine, this is one of the show's I'd love to see. I'm obviously biased toward a story of someone finding life in a ballroom.

I'd love to see it, also!

Back from a splendid and fun Kritzerland 102 - so many huge laughs on the What If numbers - and I really didn't think we were going to have more than sixty people, which would have been fine, but in the end the room was almost completely full.
