Well, you're read the notes, the notes spoke of photographs and yet had no actual proof of said photographs, and now it is time for you to post until the photographed cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DELIQUESCE!
-
That's pretty cool about the new script writing opportunity! Hopefully, you can share what you're able share...or at least, any progress as it's made! ;D
-
Topic of the Day: today, I want to listen to Colombe (http://www.kritzerland.com/colombe.htm) while I'm at work. :)
-
And I'm excited about the new releases...whatever they may be!
-
To brighten up the day - Onna White choreography. https://youtu.be/3AWWezZQ6NM
-
Good morning, friends.
-
I have been up for a while now. Mind racing with too many to-do's.
-
I am going to try taking a deep breath.
-
And holding it until I pass out.
-
~~~TRANSIT AND PROCEDURE VIBES~~~ today for DR elmore3003!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I was up at 5:15 this morning. I want to leave the apartment around 7:45, and I'm hoping I have no problems getting a taxi or with the bone scan.
-
A "friend" I've known for nearly 40 years pissed me off on his Facebook vanity page yesterday afternoon, and I'm still debating my next step.
-
Last night we watched Love and Human Remains. It isn't very good, although I am quite fond of the play it's based on, Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love, which I saw in its brief off-Broadway run around 1990.
-
Kitty cleanup is over, and I am ready to step out. Pray for Rosemary's baby.
-
Good morning, all.
-
To brighten up the day - Onna White choreography. https://youtu.be/3AWWezZQ6NM
That was wonderful. She used a similar approach in the title song of I Had a Ball, breaking the chorus down into smaller groups, then bringing everyone together.
Best thing about this clip is the camerawork.

~~~TRANSIT AND PROCEDURE VIBES~~~ today for DR elmore3003!
Double ditto!

Over the past week I’ve watched DIRTY HARRY, MAGNUM FORCE, and THE ENFORCER. Tonight, if there isn’t something else I’m forgetting about, I’ll be sitting down to SUDDEN IMPACT. What a trip it has been, in varying degrees of goodness and badness. In all, though, I can say I’ve been enjoying this particular look back at the 1970s.
-
:)
-
Vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
Continued vibes for DR VIXMOM.
-
I am enjoying reading about DR JANE's trip.
-
Last night when I got to the theatre, the director told me to cut talking to the audience and breaking the 4th wall.....okay....so it's back to small and scattered laughs.
Still applause at the end, but not as engaging.....but since it's a bit like dropping Abbott & Costello for a minute or so into Mourning Becomes Electra - it is what it is.
Two more performances this week!
-
The JOSEPH materials came from Concord Theatricals.
All are in spiral bound books - we can write on them and in them with anything - but they must be returned.... I guess they recycle them. But they are convenient if flimsy.....
-
I am anxious to see MR BK's new headshots.
-
George I am sorry you have psoriasis. My mother had it and it was horrible.
-
Tom did you like living in Ellensburg? How many years were you there?
-
I am enjoying reading about DR JANE's trip.
Thank you.
-
We wish we had planned a second day here.

Sorry.
-
DR Jrand70 - have you considered having the band underscore your initial entrance with "Pop Goes the Weasel?"
-
DR singdaw I think this is an excellent idea.....maybe I should just do that without mentioning it to the director and see what happens?
What could go wrong?
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven and a half hours of sleep.
-
So, no one else has gotten their books? Finding that very odd.
-
George I am sorry you have psoriasis. My mother had it and it was horrible.
Thanks, Jane. So far, I'm using a cream and a lotion, and those work for me (so far), so it's not as bad as it could be.
-
I think I mentioned getting the book and the giftie a few days ago.
-
:)
-
I am home. At 9:15 I was injected with some radium glow-in-the-dark chemicals, and then I had to wait for three hours while the unjected material permeated my bones. At 12:15 I had the full-body bone scan, which lasted 45 minutes.
-
My copy of the book was waiting in my lobby for me.

Well, this is cool (at least, I hope it will be). Harbinger Records is releasing for the first time on CD, "the Smithsonian Institution's 1981 first complete recording of Victor Herbert’s classic musical, Naughty Marietta (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093RMYFN4/)"! According to the description on Amazon:
This is the most complete recorded performance of the original score of a Victor Herbert operetta. It provides the listener with an opportunity to hear this brilliant score as if complete for the first time. The recording began as a concert at the Smithsonian Institution in 1981. The reception was so great, the company went right into the studio and recorded the 2-LP set under the direction of the Division of Performing Arts’ Director, James R. Morris. A young Judy Blazer played Marietta, an early step toward her becoming a Broadway star.
-
On CastAlbums.org, the listing for the LP release (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Naughty-Marietta-1981-Studio-Cast/6454/) has this as the track list (Amazon doesn't list the tracks at all):
-
HOWEVER, the CastAlbums.org listing for THIS version by Ohio Light Opera (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Naughty-Marietta-2000-Ohio-Light-Opera/16560/) lists a completely different track list, except for one track with the same title (Intermezzo) and one track with a similar, but not exactly the same title ("We're The Love of Old New Orleans" vs. "Loves of New Orleans"). :-\
-
And to totally muddle things up, Harbinger's own website listing (https://www.musicaltheaterproject.org/naughtymariettahcd3702.html) only has 21 tracks:
1. Overture
2. Opening Chorus
3. Mysterious Melody
4. Tramp, Tramp, Tramp
5. Taisez-Vous
6. Song From the Fountain
7. Naughty Marietta
8. It Never, Never Can Be Love
9. If I Were Anybody Else but Me
10. ’Neath the Southern Moon
11. Italian Street Song
12. Act I Finale
13. Dance of the Marionettes
14. You Marry a Marionette
15. Loves of New Orleans
16. The Sweet Bye and Bye
17. Prelude to Live for Today
18. Live for Today
19. I’m Falling in Love With Someone
20. It’s Pretty Soft for Simon
21. Finale Ultimo

So, no one else has gotten their books? Finding that very odd.
No. Nada.
-
Julie Taymor has directed a video version of A Midsummer’s night’s Dream? I almost shudder at the thought.
-
Waiting for the crown fitting.

Let's hope they do a fine job of it, Your Highness.

Ah, so that's why it's a four-hour affair. Vibes for excellent results, sir.

That may have been true in the 1970s when the recording was made, but my recording of Eileen is currently the most complete recording of a Victor Herbert operetta.
I think this Naughty Marietta recording is pretty good, only James Morris - in this and his complete Rose-Marie - proves he sucks as a conductor.

Don't get me started on the ineptitude of the Ohio Light Opera productions and recordings. Naughty Marietta is one of their worst: everything is lowered for the soprano, since she did not have the high C, they do not play the original orchestration, and the music is heavily cut.
-
DR George, I have a bootleg CD of the Smithsonian Naughty Marietta. It has 24 tracks!

And you thought living in NYC was expensive...Hong Kong sets $1.3m parking space price record!
:o (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/hong-kong-sets-2413m-parking-space-price-record/ar-AAKGZFG)

Back from storage. Neither box was in the main room, which is ridiculous since we have hundreds of each title and I know there were open boxes of fifty. Luckily, I brought a box of one of the titles that I had in the garage, but it took me fifteen minutes in the extra boxes room to find a box of the other - and there was only ONE box of 100 there. So, where are the other six boxes and the open fifty? I forgot to bring the key to the other extra boxes room, but my memory is that room is mostly M-Z.
-
Well, BK, you've reached an interesting posting plateau! Just had to share.
-
MEGA GOOD TEST RESULT VIBES FOR DR ELMORE!
-
Waiting for the crown fitting.
Good luck.
-
Mostly we have been without internet today.
-
The beautiful drive is keeping me entertained.
-
Wow, that's a LOT of ones!
-
Now go for all twos!
-
Singdaw, tracking says the book was delivered on the second to your mail room.
-
Jrand's delivered on the first.
-
Yes - I posted about receiving my copy of the book on Wednesday. And I am thrilled to have it.
-
If you like contemporary (but accessible) choral music - and I do - then I highly recommend this album:
-
Here's a sample:

Very nice.
-
Tonight's concert includes Mozart's 29th Symphony as well as Piazzolla's Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, which I'm looking forward to the most, and Honegger's Pastorale d'ete.
-
Well, I have a temp crown. And the numbness is beginning to subside.
-
So, no one else has gotten their books? Finding that very odd.
No book here

Very nice.
It is! In my senior year of high school, I went to All-State Choir and we sang Duruflé's Ubi caritas et amor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1BTWCpEFRQ). :)
(This video is not my All-State choir.)
-
Love it, DR George. Have loved that piece since I first heard it my junior year in high school. All of Durufle's organ and choral stuff is exquisite.
-
And the printed music is only available in very expensive French editions.
-
Durand charges a lot, and uses cheap paper, to boot.
-
Tell me about it. I wish I had bought more French editions (where appropriate, of course) back in my school years and in the years immediately after, when (1) there wasn't such a sticker shock, and (2) APPARENTLY money was no object. :)
-
Other than the ones I mentioned, tracking shows the others are "in transit".
-

Has money ever not been an object?

In other words, it will be delivered while I am on vacation.

I posted about it late, but mine got here a week or more ago.

Right. It just seems like I was buying a lot of things (like scores) without so much as thinking about it, in that long ago time, than in any recent time.

At Western Washington University, we did (part of?) Duruflé's Requiem. Exquisite is the right word. :)

Back in the 1990s, I bought quite a few complete piano/vocal scores for musicals just because. I still have them all, including I'm sure every Sondheim score (or vocal selections, if a score wasn't published).

PAGE FOUR TIME-TO-LEAVE DANCE!!

Off to my mom's for the weekly card playing.
Until later.

Show scores went up like everything else, but the price on some classical musical scores now is completely insane. And yet, in the 1960s and 1970s I never thought that.

Since we've been talking choral music, here's another short favorite. Eriks Esenvalds's gorgeous setting of Sara Teasdale's haunting ONLY IN SLEEP.

Only in Sleep
Sara Teasdale
Only in sleep I see their faces,
Children I played with when I was a child,
Louise comes back with her brown hair braided,
Annie with ringlets warm and wild.
Only in sleep Time is forgotten -
What may have come to them, who can know?
Yet we played last night as long ago,
And the doll-house stood at the turn of the stair.
They years had not sharpened their smooth round faces,
I met their eyes and found them mild -
Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder,
And for them am I too a child?

Was glad to read that DR elmore3003 got home in one piece.

Good night, friends.
-
This morning we stopped in the town of Wallace, a small historic town that survived have a freeway built over it.
-
The Piazzola piece was amazing. I wanted to dance several times. My ear isn’t good enough to pick out the Vivaldi references. But I loved it.
https://youtu.be/yPFUEVqTHqo
-
The Mozart was composed when he was 17. It was good. Not my favorite. But certainly melodic and pleasant. The conductor announced he had practiced the Mozart on March 11-13 last year, only to have it canceled on opening night because of covid.
-
Waiting now for a plate of fish tacos.
-
I am tired tonight.
-
So am I, Jane.
-
Time for bed.
-
Good night, all.
-
'night
-
Had a wonderful dinner with Barry Pearl at the Smokehouse - my usual filet and vegetables, plus small Caesar.
-
Then I came home and had many e-mails, and had to test our new release pages, which I did, so those are live now.
-
Tom did you like living in Ellensburg? How many years were you there?
I lived in Ellensburg for two and one half years. I went to college there.
-
No book in Puyallup.
-
Well, BK, you've reached an interesting posting plateau! Just had to share.
Congratulations to BK.

Test vibes to DR Elmore.

Wallace is a charming little town that is famous for their whore houses.

We are going to have rain this weekend.
-
We had our hot days early in the week.
-
I need to push this page.
-
Last post this page.
-
I am going to be away from HHW for a time. I will return at a later date.
-
That is all I have to say.
-
Off to my mom's for the weekly card playing.
Until later.
I'm home and I won the first game of the two we played. :)
-
After I left my mom's, I went to Taco Bell and ate in the restaurant and read my Kindle.
-
That was fun and now, I'm home.

I know! I remember going to Ted Brown Music Company and seeing two editions of the vocal score to Fiddler on the Roof.
-
The inside pages were exactly the same EXCEPT that one had the original artwork, and the other had new artwork.
-
HOWEVER, the edition with the original artwork was $35, and the one with the new artwork was $70! :o WTF??
-
I didn't buy either edition. ::)
