I was just about to reply to your post about it sounding like my co-workers might be travelling. I don't think anyone is travelling. I'm pretty sure that most people are just taking time off. One person has two young kids at home, so I know that she just wants to have a long weekend.

Post by: bk on November 25, 2020, 12:29:25 AM: Listening to Puccini's Le Villi. Funny - sounds positively old-fashioned compared to Schreker's, but lovely - not my favorite Puccini but it's Renata Scotto and Placido Domingo, with Maazel conducting.

Post by: Druxy on November 25, 2020, 04:53:16 AM: Today is the birthday of W.R. Burnett.

Who was W.R. Burnett?

He was the author of some of the greatest crime novels (later movies) ever written. Among them: LITTLE CAESAR, HIGH SIERRA, THIS GUN FOR HIRE and THE ASPHALT JUNGLE. His last film credit was THE GREAT ESCAPE.

I was fortunate enough to interview Mr. Burnett back in the 1970s for one of my books, and he was later a guest in my home when I screened for him LITTLE CAESAR and another film he'd written, the original SCARFACE.

A fascinating man. I wrote about him in my 2nd memoir, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD.

I’ve been remembering many of the visuals, but I completely forget what the music was like, so this will be most interesting.

One of the reviews said the Winston Graham novel is quite a good one, and I want to read it. I had done so back in my ‘70s Hitchcock days, but my copy the book is long gone.

Post by: ChasSmith on November 25, 2020, 07:16:24 AM: The amount of sage sausage I make is always more than is needed for the stuffing, so, as is my yearly wont, I just had some of it with a couple of over easy eggs and a large slice of sourdough toast. OH MY GOD is that a good meal.

And now...

More coffee!

Title: Re: UP MY PROVERBIAL ALLEY
Post by: ChasSmith on November 25, 2020, 07:31:38 AM: In a little while I’ll see what else I can prepare in advance for tomorrow. Chopping the herbs, certainly. Maybe chopping the dried cranberries, or can I leave those whole? I don’t remember. That’s for the stuffing; maybe they should be cut down some.

I think that’s about it. Everything else I do involves fresh stuff in the morning, and that’s easy. Am I really almost done with this for today?

That's great, Larry! Hope it leads to more work!

It's ASK BK DAY.....so I will ask all of my fellow Dear Readers.....what is your favorite BK disc that is not a show/specific movie soundtrack/or singer Volume?

I can name a couple as examples:

Not of This Earth - the Ronald Stein CD
Superman - music from the TV series
Titanic - movie & show songs/tunes
Jeepers Creepers Songs From Horror Films

I've never heard Not Of This Earth, but I definitely agree with the other three! I'll also add:

Classical Broadway
David Shire at the Movies

I understand your frustration. I don't think many restaurants were really prepared this year. I suspect they didn't know what to expect. But wouldn't you think that a lot of people, not entertaining, would want a nice traditional take-out? Louise's was prepared. They offered exactly that, but you had to place a reservation a few days ahead. Even so, they sold out.

I've had an offer to work on a Kern score. The money's very poor, but I could use it and I'd rather work than be idle.

That's great, Larry! Hope it leads to more work!

Can you tell us which score?

1918, Oh, Boy!

I love that one. Hope it's fun for you.

DR John G., I decided to go with the fresh instead of the frozen. I will try the frozen recipe another time, though.

I'm sure they will be wonderful.

Pam made a sourdough baguette, a cheese ball and baby portobello mushrooms stuffed with duck confit.

Cecil made shishito peppers, a whole array of pickled vegetables, a herring dish, and more.

I see that the Rockefeller owl has been returned to its home habitat.

Yes. I have a friend who who hikes where the owl was released and is hoping for a sighting.

Hard choices when you've got Bruno Walter, Eugene Ormandy, Klemperer, Kubelik, Szell, von Karajan and others. But I'm going through each and choosing my favorites for my ultimate Mahler cycle.

Post by: bk on November 25, 2020, 10:33:28 PM: von Karajan's sixth is also superb. Have never heard his ninth, which I have here, so I'll give that a spin, but there are several ninths I love.
