I had lots of dreams I do not remember now, but I slept well until 4:00 when Stella became a pest. She wasn't begging for food, which is new, but she couldn't decide if she wanted to lie down and sleep with me or jump up and chase Thatch about. Her constant comings and goings were really irritating.

Last night we watched The Hidden Heart,  documentary about Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. I enjoyed the talking heads of Britten's associates, but the video clips from performances of Peter Grimes, War Requiem, and Death in Venice were not of Pears but later performces with other singers. I was most disappointed.

I know you've all been waiting for an update on our li'l heat wave. And I shall not disappoint.

In two days (eight hours) Michael has achieved miracles. My storage space is cleaned out, vacuumed, and organized. Next week's project will be to inventory and prepare the three cartons going to Miami University Library for shipment; then, seriously weed the detritus from the cartoins of scores that Josh will take.

Title: Re: CAKEWALK
Post by: Ginny on June 09, 2021, 12:26:45 PM
  detritus

The flotsam and jetsam, as it were.

I've been dealing with a bit of that myself today.  From late elementary school through high school I kept a scrapbook that I've lugged around now for 50+ years.  The book itself is falling apart and scrapbooking has changed a lot since 1962, so today I took it all apart, sorted the contents for new purposes and will give the old (non-archival) book a proper disposal.

This is all part of a project I'm working on now to create a new album documenting my birth to marriage, a period of 30 years, using an online course called "Before Your Story."  That's based on the teacher's desire to document her life before her daughter for that daughter.

My album, however, is called "Who were YOU?" because that's what one of Richard's and DR Elmore's high school classmates asked me at their 40th reunion.  Her question stunned me speechless and I'm hoping this process leads me to the answer I didn't have 17 years ago.
Title: Re: CAKEWALK
Post by: Ginny on June 09, 2021, 12:38:22 PM
Among the items salvaged from my scrapbook were 3 ticket stubs that help answer BK's question from several weeks ago about road show movies we'd seen.  Apparently, I saw (all in Detroit):

"The Agony and the Ecstasy," at the Music Hall Theatre, on Sunday, December 26, 1965
"The Sound of Music," at the Madison Theatre, on Tuesday, December 28, 1965
"Dr. Zhivago," at the United Artists Theatre, on Friday, August 19, 1966

I know we also saw "Windjammer," "How the West was Won," and "My Fair Lady," but I don't have ticket stubs for those.
Title: Re: CAKEWALK

Sadly, the movie will be on HBO Max and not HBO TV.  I can't record from HBO Max because it's a streaming service.  However...a copy may be SHHH!!! DON'T TELL ANYONE!! "procured" from <ahem> disreputable sources. ::)

Well, DR ChasSmith, they and a lot of ticket stubs from Detroit's Fisher and Hilberry Theatres are going into a scrapbook layout.  I'd always intended to collage ticket stubs underneath the glass top of a coffee table, but this will have to do.

And if anyone is interested, the New York Philharmonic streamed a live concert at Bryant Park (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp3ybEMrbek) in NYC:

The festive and varied kick-off of Bryant Park’s Picnic Performances treats New Yorkers to music by past masters — including the Classical era’s Mozart and Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges — and American sounds, including an uplifting piece by Philharmonic Very Young Composer Ilana Rahim-Braden. Lina González-Granados conducts in her Philharmonic debut.

Normally, the time change wouldn't be a problem, but I have a meeting at 1:00 that's scheduled to last for two hours!

I had to let my former supervisor (who's running the meeting) know that I'll have to leave early. :-\

I can be there for the first half hour, and hopefully, that'll be good.

Maybe someone will take notes so that I'll find out what happened after I left.

OR hopefully, they won't need me there to answer whatever questions that they might have.

Or more appropriately, they won't actually have any questions that I would need to be there to answer.

There's also the (infinitesimally small) chance that the eye doctor could call and ask if I could come in early.

If I had known this a couple of days ago, I would've said that I can't be at a meeting at that time, and the meeting would've been changed to a new time.

That could also happen...the meeting could be rescheduled.

We'll see.

Either way, it'll be what it'll be.

My friend Charlie Harmon, who worked for Bernstein, told me the basics of this story years ago, but this is definitive!

That has to be one of the best stories ever. Thank you. Reading it and watching the accompanying video quite literally improved my morning.

I downloaded the article as a PDF and will read it at my lunch, then watch the video when I get back from lunch.

Well, I didn't get to read the article at lunch, but I just finished it!  Wow!  What a story! ;D

After that, I now have to listen to a whole bunch of versions of "Glitter and Be Gay," starting, of course, with Barbara Cook's version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF3fwp_VrdQ)...as well one should! :)
