Title: 96% AND A BLURB
Post by: bk on March 24, 2021, 12:06:29 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were at 96% and had a blurb, and now it is time for you to post until the blurbed cows come home.

BK, my vote would be that the piano/conductor scores be listed individually.  Those are the sorts of things where people probably just want a specific score, unless they're really inexpensive.  Then, I'd say groupings, but definitely not one big lot.  Just my 2¢.

That's a very nice blurb for the new book!  Can't wait to read it!
Title: Re: 96% AND A BLURB
Post by: George on March 24, 2021, 12:24:30 AM
I think that listing the new book on Indiegogo would be a good thing.  Those who want the book will get the book regardless, so if it helps with the campaign, go for it. :)

I've looked at the prices on eBay and most of what I have vocal score-wise goes from forty for the easy stuff to seventy and eighty for the rarer titles. So, I'll put those up tomorrow, along with the book pre-order.

Just had another late-night contribution, but it was one of the ten-dollar no perk perks so nothing changed. But still, every little bit helps. I found vocal scores for Cabaret and Funny Thing and Do I Hear a Waltz. I had no idea I also had Street Scene and Lady in the Dark.

Cool.  I have Forum, and I'm pretty sure that I have Waltz.  I have most, if not all, of Sondheim's scores.

I agree with DR George and his reasoning for the vocal scores and the new book vis-a-vis the campaign.

However, I do wonder...  money given for the novel pre-order, wouldn't that cover the cost and shipping of the books? Therefore, wouldn't really be available money toward the Blu-Ray release?

I'm taking it easy again today. Tomorrow I need a run to my pharmacy for my eye drops and I think I may do laundry on Friday, depending on the state of the laundry room.  I like our building super Jeff, but he's no Val, and he lets the trash pile up before he removes it and it's a major nuisance negotiating the trip to the washers on a walker.

BK, let me recommend a few ballet DVDs I think you might like.  The first DVD is taken from a series of NYC Ballet performances in Paris, and it includes Balanchine's great macabre ballet about Death and the Maiden, La Valse, to Ravel's "Valses nobles et sentimentales" and "La Valse." The older videos on YouTube are shaky and out of focus.

I'm also a big Frederick Ashton fan, and I think you might like these two, Messager's love story, The Two Pigeons, and his very funny La Fille Mal Gardée, about an old mother's attempts to keep her virginal daughter away from the man she loves to marry the rich landowner's moronic son.

Sad to hear about George Segal's death, but what a long and rewarding life he had.  I met him at the Drama Book Shop in the late 1980s or ealy 1990s, and he was very kind.  I think he liked the fact that I rold him I loved his recording. I really did!

One of my favorite movie moments EVER happens between George Segal and Glenda Jackson.

They have a terrific fight - I think she says something he thinks is about his mother....  They jump out of bed and start packing and she keeps telling him to make a reservation for the plane trip off the island....and he keeps telling her "not necessary."

They get to the airport (their rented car only drives in second gear) and the clerk announces that the plane is sold out.

George:  But that plane is NEVER sold out.
Clerk: There was a group of nuns visiting the island and they're all going back on this flight.
Glenda: When did they get their tickets?
Clerk: Just now.
Glenda:  Press THAT in your book of memories.

BK:  I agree with DR George about posting the show scores separately. It seems unlikely that someone who doesn't have any of those would suddenly want all of them. But you never know.

Having said that, though, you've now mentioned one you didn't list the other night, which I don't have, and would want if it's in nice shape. Want to know what it is?     :)

Good Morning - home today for catch-up.  Had to call Alaska Airlines today as my flight schedule to Orlando in June has been altered.  I'm not really happy with the changes.  What was a one-way flight back to SF is now a one-stop flight leaving Orlando 7 hours earlier than I anticipated.  I'll need to ponder this a bit.  Anyway, I'm sure I'll let it go and just go with whatever. 

Groan.  I hate when that happens.  Good luck figuring it out.

Eh, it is what it is.  I'm just going with it.  I'll get to see the Seattle airport - I've never been.

When I moved to San Antonio 22 years ago, I discovered a then-unknown writer named Rick Riordan, who was the author of a series of mysteries featuring detective named Tres Navarre. The mysteries were set in San Antonio and I loved all three or four that I could get my hands on. Great descriptions of landmark restaurants, neighborhoods, attitudes.

Well, I found one on audio this week that I didn't know, Mission Road. Turns out it was from 2005. I started it yesterday, and it was so good I'm finishing it up tonight. What a treat.

It has rained the last three nights after I've gone to sleep. And it looks like it will rain again tonight. There's a 100% chance of a thunderstorm at 3 a.m. I hope I can sleep through it. I just learned that hail is possible. I hope that stays far away, too.

Got back on the bicycle again today for the first time in a few weeks. I really enjoyed the ride, but it felt like the first time again. I have to get used to looking around me more when I turn corners, especially when I'm driving around the neighborhood during rush hour.

I may take it to a park this weekend and ride around one.

I had a strange dream about The Yearling, a film I don't believe I've ever seen or book I've never read. And now one of the songs from the musical version, "One Promise Come True," keeps running through my head!

In the Seattle television market, THE YEARLING was shown every year on Thanksgiving.  I hated that movie.

I just posted something about one of Trump's lawyers on Facebook and as soon as I hit "post," I thought, I'd better change that. Before I could, a popup immediately appeared telling me I had violated their policies and I am banned for three days.  It beats 30 days, but WTF?  Is someone sitting on my account waiting to pounce?


It is all done by computer.  They have your account flagged with a list of words (aka Trump), so as soon as you use type one of those words, you are toast.
