Well, you've read the notes, you know many things for having read the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - it will be quite some time before they come home because, as we all know, cows never jump the gun.
-
And the word of the day is: DOCENT!
-
FIRST POST!
-
You need a docent piece of bamboo for effective Bastinado. That should bring moisture to the eyes of DR Jed. Lovely song by the Eagles. "Bastinado"
-
I wish I could read today's column, but it isn't done toasting.
-
Once again - Happy Brithday Mr Brockman Snr.
-
Notes are up for your mental delectation.
-
Earl Grant had a lovely version of "The House Of Bamboo".
Rosemary Clooney and Guy Mitchell (understandably) prefered "The House Of Singing Bamboo".
TOTD: Not sure what we will watch tonight. Maybe "Japanese Story".
CD: I've been 50 years late in discovering the world of Joni James. Her voice is a delight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR ARNOLD M. BROCKMAN!!
In my DVD player: nothing
In my CD player: nothing
In my VCR (and the reason that nothing is in my DVD or CD players): a tape to tape tonight's Seattle Storm women's basketball game that my niece and I are actually going to! She loves the Storm (I've mentioned that bit of information before ::)) and got a 10-ticket package, so this is one of the games that I have to take her to. MAYBE we'll be seen on TV...but not very likely. The seats are somewhere low, but in the corner behind the Storm benches. They don't usually show that too often, but you never know.
Anyway, we're going to leave for Seattle either late in the morning or very early in the afternoon. Today is also the Northwest Folklife Festival (http://www.nwfolklife.org/) at the Seattle Center, which is where the Key Arena is, which is where the Seattle Storm play. It will be VERY CROWDED!!
So, I'm off to bed and a long sleep.
BK, great Broadwayworld and Playbill announcements! And nice pictures!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR ARNOLD M. BROCKMAN!!

DR WFO, thank you for The New College Horse photos and the description. I thought the college was for horses or was for studying about horses. I like that beautiful shaped horse likes as Thoroughbred.
-
DR Jane, You know my thoughts are with you and your family. A rose Ever Gold for your Bogie.

I’ve just orderd Easter Parade Special Edition DVD, which will be AT LAST released on July 1st in Japan, on amazon.co.jp. :)
-
Dear Jane, good thoughts and hugs to you.
I'm listening to the OBC of Guys and Dolls right now. Stubby Kaye is singing Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat.
It's a half day at work so I won't be listening to much today. I'm leaving around 11:45am. We have a full weekend ahead. Anthony's show closes on Sunday and he's preparing to leave for Virginia on Monday morning around 6am. We have laundry to do, packing, a closing night party on Sunday and we have to sqeeze some down time in there too, just to be alone for a few minutes before he's gone for six weeks.
That being said, once I leave the office I probably won't be around much until Monday.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MR. BROCKMAN Senior!

Rogers, Peet & Co. was founded Nov. 6, 1874 through the merger of the clothing firms of Marvin N. Rogers and Charles Bostwick Peet (1837-1902). Rogers, Peet featured men's and boys' wearing apparel (suits, coats, jackets, pants, shirts, hats, neckties, underwear, gloves, socks, belts (you name it!)), then much later added women's apparel (coats, slacks, sweaters). The main store at 42nd Street had entrances both at 16 E. 42nd and at 479-481 5th Ave. This was the final surviving Rogers, Peet store, which closed in the mid-1980s.

Good morning, all! Back down to the recording office today, and I have no plans beyond that.
DRGeorge, thanks for the program notes on MEASURE FOR MEASURE; as with most director's notes, I like to see what's been done before deciding the thoughts on paper actually end up on the stage. Stephen Hanan, of the original Broadway casat for CATS, wrote an interesting musical version of MEASURE FOR MEASURE in the late 1970s called TROUBLE IN PARADISE, as I recall, and set in a military basearound 1910. There were a couple of wonderful songs in it.
DRJane, my heart bleeds for your loss. I know how much Bogie meant to you and what affection and care you gave him.

Good night, DRTomovoz! How are you feeling today?

Car CD player: A Year With Frog and Toad again. We're ladsitting today, once more. At least we've weaned them off of Tarzan for a moment.
DVD player: Der Brucer was watching Spy Game yesterday, a Robert Redford/Brad Pitt teaming. Then he watched it again and listened to the commentary track. Snoozey.
-
Happy Birthday, DR Brockman!
-
DRs Elmore and Tomovoz: When can we expect comparisons of your pain meds? And the loopy side effects? Not that I ever want to be where you two have been, but sometimes these things are interesting and worth keeping in mind.
Vibes to you both! And it's good to know you're both doing better! (Even somewhat!)

Addendum to the car CD player:
Der Brucer bought Elton John's Greatest Hits recently, and wants to introduce the lads to the short guy. That gets added to the car stack.

iPod: Pippin OCR -- This recording has always been a bit of an oddball. With its lack of a synopsis and with almost all of the Fosse theatrical influences stripped away, one would really have no idea of what was happening on stage when listening to it (at least, that was my experience years ago, before I saw the show.) Also, the cast is all over the place as far as staying on key or sustaining notes is concerned (and I'm convinced that Jill Clayburgh's "Kind Of Woman" was spliced together from several takes as she seems to never take a breath throughout long stretches of the song--try singing along with her, note for note, to see what I mean.)
The thing is, the recording plays so damn well! It is one of a few cast recordings that I can truly play again and again and again. The tunes are beyond catchy, the cast is fun to listen to and the recording overall evokes memories of a time when I first took an active interest in Broadway and Musical Theatre. This one will always be a top favorite of mine.
-
DR Jane, my thoughts are with you. Such sad news.
-
Happy Birthday, DR Arnold Brockman.
-
I have the day off but still up early...heading out to breakfast with my buddy Mark, then off to the gym, then home to mow the lawn, then I will crash and burn!

Friday Media Check:
CD - SPAMALOT (OCR) I've had this for two weeks and have yet to play it. Too many other irons in the fire.
DVD - DIE HARD 2
THE BEST OF EVERYTHING
DVR - last Sunday's DEADWOOD
last Wednesday's LOST finale
last night's CSI
THE MAIDS (Glenda Jackson/American Film Theater)
My goal is to get ALL of this watched during this holiday weekend. Let's see if it happens. Definitely up first will be LOST. I've had to do a lot of dodging spoilers all over the place on the internet and in magazines for the last few days so as not to get too much information before I see it.
-
And it looks like it's going to be a glorious weekend weather-wise here as well, but as I'm not much of an outdoors person other than walking, no problem.
-
First post here...
Jumped the gun this morning while shooting a couple of gophers in the back yard before work...
In the CD Player: (3 disc player) Guys & Dolls (Lane/Prince), Oklahome (London '98) and By Jeeves (London)
In the DVD PLayer: The Ten Commandments, disc 2. (I'm up for a voice over gig and the director wants a vaguely Charleton Heston sound)

Sad news about Bogie. He was loved.
DR MBarnum: Your mention of the "late Cal Bolder" came as somewhat of a shock in yesterday's notes. I didn't know that he had passed away.
-
DR JANE & KEITH - DR HISAKA sent a lovely rose, and I send one just like it for Bogie. Thanks for sharing him with us.

MEDIA CHECK:
CD: Dark Shadows - and yes DR DANISE I know why you want to see Lynhurst....take YOUR camera!
VHS: Dark Shadows Volume 27
DVD: lots of surprises from DR MBARNUM including:
MURDER AT THE (not Radio City) MUSIC HALL - featuring Miss Vera Ralston's last skating on film (she hung up her skates to concentrate on acting at the behest of Republic Studios head, a sugar daddy, Herbert J. Yates), William Marshall (the last Mr Ginger Rogers), and Miss Nancy Kelly (doing acting a LOT like she would do a decade hence in THE BAD SEED).
SPRING SONG - a Hong Kong rock and roll musical about a tomboy and her friend a lovely singer who each love the boy who loves the other....only the boys really don't....the girls learn that by just being themselves, they can get the boy they want. But with some American music in the background.
LADIES FIRST - another Hong Kong movie about a couple of girls who also like the other's boyfriend...with some swim trunks, night clubs, American background music, and a little sex in it.
Others to follow.

Wasn't Mr Robert Francis also in THE HOUSE OF BAMBOO?
-
Welcome, newest DR Jinx!
-
Oh my. I just did a Google images search for Cal Bolder and came up with DR MBarnum's interview (http://www.horror-wood.com/boulder.htm) accompanied by this and other pictures.
(http://www.horror-wood.com/boulde1.jpg)
It is curious that the website misspells his name throughout, even on picture file names. Of course, in the body of the article MBarnum never makes such an egregious error.
Thus saith the DOCENT.
-
Welcome to Jinx!!!
-
As for Friday Media Check...
Well, you know the drill... at least for me...
In any case... Steve has been playing internet radio here this morning. He came across a station called "Space Age Pop" on Live365 (spaceagepop.com). Fun stuff!! There was a great Spike Jones track playing earlier, "I Was A Teenage Brain Surgeon" as well as some Swingle Singers. Great morning music! *Oh, and he also came across something called "Fluffer Tracks". -Proceed with caution!
-
Welcome to Newbie Jinx!

then I will crash and burn!
Gee, usually I just flame, or smolder.
-
The DOCENT, yes, but how are the Duke and the Doge?
-
Welcome to Jinx!
-
Well... Time for me to get packed up here, and get ready to head out to lunch. I'm taking Steve to someplace still to be decided - probably Stella's or Can-Can since it happens to be his birthday today too! And then I shall start the journey back up I-95. *Good No Traffic Vibes would be much appreciated.
Until I'm back up in Fairfax...

Our office closes at 3 today. So generous.
I must then hie to Mt. Kisco, NY for a wedding. The guy who dragged us up to Montreal for his bachelor bash is tying the knot today at 5:30.
Tomorrow I will hit the road early to help a friend move to Vermont. He and his gal are moving into a Buddhist retreat. My gal and I will spend the rest of the weekend up there and in New Hampshire.
Thus, I must post all now before I succumb to errancy and truancy.

Welcome, new DR Jinx.

From what I've been perusing on the various and sundried message boards this morning, the Light On The Piazza CD is the Holy Grail of cast recordings this week. It seems to be sold-out everywhere. Who woulda thought? Amazon informed me last night that my copy has been shipped, so I expect to have it in hand on Tuesday. I've already heard some of the score and I am in love with the opening number.
-
Welcome to Jinx. We've got one gal here who will be very happy with your username because she LOVES all things Plaid.
I'm up, I'm up. Phone rang at eight. Hate that, unless it's someone I feel like talking to.
Seems I jumped the gun on Mr. Brockman's birthday, which seems to be tomorrow. Our calendar doth confuse at times.
-
Put the cake in the fridge.
-
What's this I hear?
There's gopher wrangling in Montana?
Dang!
Welcome, Jinx!
-
I got Light in the Piazza yesterday at Virgin for $14.99 It was the last copy. Footlight was out of it as well and it would have been more there.
The opening number is sumptuous and musically gorgeous! The waves of beautiful music washing over you are quite wonderful.
-
And a very merry UNbirthday to DR Arnold Brockman!
-
Ah, for a docent cup of coffee this morning.
As far as that goes, a docent night's sleep would be welcome, too.
-
Put the cake in the fridge.
I like cake that has been in the fridge!
How I envy all of you with all or part of today off. We're open regular hours (until 5:30) and all day tomorrow. Fortunately, it's not my Saturday to work, so I'll have a nice 3-day weekend. Our plans include attending a combined high school graduation party for 4 of Rob's friends, 3 of whom are DH Richard's former students. Have to get our standard HS grad gift ready - a picture frame and a Barnes & Noble gift card.
Welcome new DR Jinx!
Media check - CD (car) audio book, Madeline Albright's Madam Secretary. She's not a sparkling reader, but it's interesting to hear memoirs in the writer's voice.

Okay here is the lost scene FROM LOST that was broadcast on Good Morning America (for DR George and anyone else who wants to know).
It features Charlie and Claire. And starts with the french woman eating an egg raw.
Charlie (to claire): She (french woman) is nuts. She tried to blow my head off in the jungle for no reason ... She says she heard whispers. Doesn't mean anything.
Claire (to Charlie): When ethan took me ... however I got away. I knew they'd be back.
Charlie (to claire): Is that why you didn't name the baby! ...

Not too earth shattering. But sort of interesting i guess.

DR MBarnum: Your mention of the "late Cal Bolder" came as somewhat of a shock in yesterday's notes. I didn't know that he had passed away.
Oh, yes DR WFO, you must have been gone from the board at that time. Mr. Bolder was diagnosed with cancer last September and passed away in January. I miss chatting with him...he was such a nice guy and he was so looking forward to attending some of the celebrity and Star Trek conventions that he was beginning to get invites to.
Hopefully Filmfax will be running my interview with him soon.

The Story of Three Loves
Drama, 2hrs 2min
MGM--1953
Music by Miklos Rozsa
This anthology film tells three stories of love involving the passengers of an ocean liner at sea. In the first, "The Jealous Lover," James Mason plays Charles Coudray, a well-known ballet director. When someone asks Coudray why he staged his masterpiece, "Astarte," only once, he tells the story of Paula Woodward (Moira Shearer), a superb dancer he found practicing in his theater. He was awestruck by her technique and her beauty, but he discovered that she had a secret -- due to a cardiac condition, she has been forbidden to dance too strenuously, as it could tax her heart and eventually kill her. Charles urges Paula to perform for him, so he may use her movements to choreograph his next great work; she agrees, but the exertion proves too much for her and she dies. He arranges for the work she inspired to be performed only once, in hopes that she will somehow see it from on high.
In the second segment, "Mademoiselle," Tommy (Ricky Nelson) is a 12-year-old boy travelling with his French governess and tutor (Leslie Caron); she's tired of spending her days watching over a child, and he'd like to get away from Teacher for a while. Mrs. Pennicott (Ethel Barrymore), a older woman who happens to be a witch, hears Tommy wishing he could be a grown-up, and she grants his request: suddenly Tommy is a grown man (played by Farley Granger), but only for the next four hours. The Governess meets the mysterious stranger Tommy has become, and soon they fall in love.
In the final segment, "Equilibrium," Kirk Douglas plays Pierre Narval, a high-wire artist who retired from performing after his partner died while performing a trapeze act, an accident Pierre blames on himself. He begins to reconsider his decision when he saves the life of Nina (Pier Angeli), a woman who attempted to drown herself; her husband died in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, and she feels she is to blame for his death. Their shared fatalism equals fearlessness in Pierre's eyes, and he teaches Nina the art of the trapeze; however, when he begins to fall in love with her, he's no longer so certain that he wants her to risk her life. "The Jealous Lover" and "Equilibrium" were directed by Gottfried Reinhardt, while "Mademoiselle" was directed by Vincente Minnelli. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Actually that is a DIFFERENT movie with the same title, DR RP. The Hong Kong movie is something else, again...you can bet on it. Including torturing of a heroine to insanity.
FROM HELL IT CAME! Ah yes....Tonga!

Roy Chiao - hubba hubba.
DRMBARNUM did you buy STORY OF THREE LOVES part one and part two yet?
LOL! I ordered Part 1...in fact I have ordered just about every 1950s/60s Roy Chiao movie I could find! LOL!

LOL! You might not want to thank me DR Rodzinski, after you watch those movies! LOL!
Except BLACK TIGHT KILLERS...that one is cool!!
Actually, I like CULT OF THE COBRA...but FROM HELL IT CAME...well, a walking monster tree trunk...well...good luck!

LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA - I just don't LIKE the pretentious composer, or his attitude, but I love the story, and the reviews of the show, the music, and the performances may just change my mind. Time will tell.
DRJRand54, I'm sorry you've been so vocal in your dislike for someone I'd guess you don't know. What you don't like about Adam is the feeling you've gotten from whatever media you've read or seen. I don't know Adam well, but I think Adam is a good guy, very humble and not at all pretentious. I wish him well. I ddn't expect LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA to take off as it has, and I'm very happy for him. FLOYD COLLINS was an amazing show and deserved more attention than it got in New York.

Still waiting for mine to ship... guess that's what I get for taking the free shipping. I've always liked Guettel's music, and I liked ...Piazza in its Seattle workshop, but I never thought it'd be this popular.
-
Same guy, DR TCB.
I just don't like FLOYD COLLINS, DR ELMORE. For the reasons I stated, and of course I didn't mean him PERSONALLY....never met and never will...
And of course my mind may be changed by the PIAZZA score, which I am anxious to hear.
And yes it may be the comments of others on the net and elsewhere elevating Guettel and JRB (ugh) to god-hood on the basis of some of their inane work.
I do however bow to YOUR authentic and respected opinion.

Hey, son!

Hey, dad!

The actor playing Albin to my Georges and I are going to attempt to see SITH on Monday afternoon, but being a holiday, shows may be sold out. He said he might try getting tickets in advance. I've left that to him.
-
I've scheduled my viewing of the LOST finale for tonight. I watched last night's CSI this afternoon. It was an episode that featured George Eads and was quite entertaining. This must have been an early in the season episode since George's hair was still very closely cropped. I had never seen this episode before.
-
Your Stooges movie doesn't seem to be on DVD, Dad, just VHS.
-
That's funny about the name Jinx. I did FOREVER PLAID for some months, and even though it's one of my all-time favorite theatrical experiences (both as a performer and as an audience member), the name didn't ring any bells (a Kander and Ebb reference) until bk mentioned it earlier.

DRJRand 54, I make no claims to authentic opinions, I just don't think you should claim to hate a person you don't know. I may hate the work of someone I don't know, while liking them personally; and I may like someone's work while disliking them! I mention no names in either example!
I've only once met Jason Robert Brown, whose PARADE I liked very much, and I found him quite friendly; I don't feel I know him. My BABES colleague Tom Murray worked with Jason on THE LAST FIVE YEARS, and he likes Jason and his wife immensely. I'm not sure I'd say that either Adam or Jason produces "inane" work, because I think they're both too intelligent for that. Clearly, you're not a fan of their writing and that's fine by me, but I question anything "inane" about FLOYD COLLINS; it was quite stunning and moving.
-
When I finally get my CDs back in my possession tomorrow (two months has been WAY too long), Floyd Collins will be near the top of the playlist.
-
I'm no fan of either Mr. Guettel or Mr. Brown, based on the few things I've heard (much more in the case of Mr. Brown). I'm sure JRB is very nice, but on the couple of occasions I've had to converse with him, I have not found that to be the case, and I must say that at the Disney/ASCAP workshop where he sat on the panel, he came off as a loud-mouthed egomaniac (although, he WAS an amusing loud-mouthed egomaniac).
I should listen to Floyd Collins - I've only heard a few songs from it (if you can describe them as songs). I've listened to a couple of samples from Light in the Piazza, and they were okay.
-
elmore, you must always name names. I know I do.
-
I completely forgot this is a long weekend, although I'm probably going to be working on Monday, mixing After the Ball.
-
I've scheduled my viewing of the LOST finale for tonight.
Was a collective sigh of relief just heaved????
:D

Good Afternoon!
Back in Fairfax. The traffic northbound on 95 was surprisingly light. There were a few unexplained bottlenecks along the way, but, all in all, I made the trip in the time it usually takes. The southbound traffic, however... YIKES! I didn't spot any accidents, but it had to be very heavily congested from at least Springfield to Fredericksburg - almost 50 miles! *And according to the traffic reports on the radio, everyone seems to be heading south this weekend. The northbound traffic on the Bay Bridge was very light between 2:00 and 4:00. In fact, the traffic reporter "on the road" was making loops of the bridge - "This is my fourth trip through the toll booths... This is my sixth trip through the tolls booths... There are only 3 cars in front of me at the toll booth..." -What a job!?!?!?
-
elmore, you must always name names. I know I do.
Dear Friend BK, I am quite supportive of my friends, but I know at least two whose work I don't much care for for. I'd never mention them by name; it would hurt their feelings, and I like them.
I've certainly been vocal on this site about several folk I don't like, including a post I deleted yesterday about one of your After the Ball confreres!
-
Steve and I ended up at Stella's for lunch. Neither of us had been back there in while - and it's basically "our" restaurant. We both had the lamb burger for lunch. The burger came topped with grilled prosciutto and goat cheese. Quite tasty! And then for our "cake", we split a very generous serving of tiramisu.*
I also peeked into the kitchen to say Hi to Stella and exchange big hugs. She's doing well, and smiling as always. However, she will be taking a good chunk of time off later this summer for knee replacement surgery - possibly double-knee replacement. -Just like Edwina had last summer. -And it was at Stella's original location that I met Edwina. In any case... It was great seeing here again. *And I have a feeling that Stella had something to do with the generosity of the serving of tiramisu.
:)
It was a very nice birthday lunch, and Steve will be coming up to DC sometime in the next few weeks, and we'll probably head to the Carlyle Grand to have a proper birthday dinner. -And the Flourless Chocolate Waffle for dessert, of course!
-
I just happened to check out the new-ish playbillarts.com a few minutes ago, and came across the news that pianist, Ruth Laredo, has died.
Ms. Laredo's recordings of the complete Rachmaninov piano works and the Scriabin piano sonatas provided me with many hours of listening and wonder when I first started studying piano. And the fact that she was among the first pianists - man or woman - to record the complete works of either composer was something of a landmark at the time. She also made frequent visits to Richmond for the summer concert series at the University of Richmond.
When Sony finally released her Rachmaninov recordings on CD a couple of years ago, I made sure to purchase the complete set. They may not be considered definitive renditions, but very musical and intelligent. When I travel back to Richmond next week, I will be sure to pull her Rachmaninov discs out of storage.

elmore: Barry Day or David Staller? ;D
-
DRs Elmore and Tomovoz: When can we expect comparisons of your pain meds? And the loopy side effects? Not that I ever want to be where you two have been, but sometimes these things are interesting and worth keeping in mind.
Vibes to you both! And it's good to know you're both doing better! (Even somewhat!)
[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :-*[/move]
No can do! I am using NO pain meds. Have not since the morphine of the first two days - except for a couple for minor headace and back pain.
30 years in the classroom - pain is me. Thank you for the thoughts.
Really have only minor discomfort - because I need to sleep on my back.
-
OK - Time to get ready to head in for tonight's show...
Laters...
-
DRSWoodyWhite, I ran out of Vicodin today, so I'm going on to Tylenol with codiene. The pain does seem less today, but I've got the Tylenol handy in case.
Dear Friend BK, I don't know David Staller at all! We've never met, we talked on the phone once many years ago about some arrangements that never happened, but I liked him in AFTER THE BALL.
-

Pardon me for saying it, but "barf."
The thought of lamb, ham and goat, with a heavy dosage of tiramisu has my tummy gurgling like crazy.

THE STORY OF THREE LOVES, is that a prequel to A LETTER TO THREE WIVES?
The Caine Mutiny was the prequel to House Of Bamboo I guess.
-
DR Arnold. It has been May 28th for nearly 8 hours. More if you go by a Hobbit calendar. Happy birthday.
Sometimes I think I'm living in another world.
-
TOTD: We watched "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie" last night. As with the video, the DVD does not have the song "Jean". It was heard in the trailer. I assume that it was just used as a playout in the cinemas. I think the same was so of "Alfie" with Cher's version in the USA and Cilla Black's in the UK & OZ.
It really was a cheat back in the sixties.
-
Welcome newbie Jinx.
-
ARNOLD M. BROCKMANHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you have a great day. :D
Just one question, is it really today or tomorrow as our HHW calendar states? ???
-
AMB's birthday is tomorrow. The layout of our calendar continually confuses me.
Speaking of House of Bamboo - after finishing it last night, I started watching Street with No Name. I'm sitting there thinking, gee this plot seems familiar... Then I realized that it was remade as, wait for it, House of Bamboo.

Well, this is very vexing, DR TomovOz!!! The song "Jean" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Song. And I'd always thought the Academy required that the song be a featured part of a film to be eligible.
I have to wonder what it's all about (, Alfie???) that the song has somehow disappeared.
I've "Googled" the issue and most references call the song the "title song." And it seems to me I remember a title vocal.
A possibility is that the song was a separate element from the ones they've used to issue the film on home video...something that has either been damaged or which the studio had to remove because it didn't have video rights to the song.
Whatever the reason, it's very vexing, indeed, because it mars the history of the film. I wonder if our very own, and BK's dear friend, Nick Redman (or Bk, himself) could shed some light on this issue for us.
-
Dan (the Man), Jose, George, Ben, elmore, and Stuart thank you very much for your condolences and good wishes.
Jennifer we are okay thanks.
WFO almost every day I told Bogie “I love you so much” and gave him a big hug or kiss.
Hisaka the photo of the EVER GOLD rose is so perfect I can almost smell it.
JRand thank you for the thought of the rose, and the link to the photos.
-
DRMattH: Are you feeling more confident about how "La Cage..." will turn out now that some parts seem to have found the right actors for them?
I know you were worried.
-
Indeed Ron - I thought maybe the video release had just cut the "playout" at the film's end. I was quite disappointed when the DVD did not have even a few bars of the lyrics - yet the "Extra" included used the song over the trailer.
I was always amazed that "My Wishing Doll" from "Hawaii" was ever nominated. My search for a copy of that song continues.
I can't remember where "Born Free" was used - over the end credits I guess.
-
Welcome Jinx! :D
-
By now I have noticed Ron and Arnold stating the correct birthday date. Early birthday wishes are better than late ones.
Bruce I understand your confusion with the calendar beginning on a Monday. ???
-
Can't the calendar be reformatted?
DRJane, are you in LA?
-
I'm home. ;D Did you receive my email? We have been having problems with our server?

Ginny I like white cake in the freezer, if it has ice cream on top, and it comes from Baskin Robbins.
Iris, thank you for the sympathy and hug.
-
I'm home. ;D Did you receive my email? We have been having problems with our server?
I got an email from you around 2:30 est today, and you asked about eruptions! Have you written since then?

I answered your last email and just sent you another one.

No email from you in the past two hours, Nurse Jane.

Well, ;D if you want someone to receive email you really should send it to their address, which I only did with the first missing email. :-[ Check again.
-
"You asked about eruptions" I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole or a five-foot Czech.
Tonight I shall be joining our very own Pogue and his ever-lovin' Julieanne for a little dinner in the Wood of Holly. Not at Musso and Frank - I'm on a little hiatus from there.
Tomorrow, in honor of Memorial Day Weekend, I do believe we may just have an Unseemly Trivia Contest.

Trust me, I'm not going to write about eruptions on this site!

Eddie Albert has died. He was an unbelievable 99 years old.
-
Evening all!
I went and read the Broadwayworld and Playbill announcements. Kudos to you, BK!
Great book title but it begs the question, will there be a sequel called, Fast Forward?
Hi Jinx! Welcome to our world. Tell us about yourself.
I’m not sure if I should say the HB words or not to DR ARNOLD M. BROCKMAN today or tomorrow so I’m going to do it half and half.
[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]
Happy! [/move]
That’s all you get for today. ;)
DR JRand. If I get to go see Lynnhurst, I will most certainly take lots and lots and lots of pictures.
3 days off from work! No more teachers, no more books, no more…….errr. ;D
-
Eddie Albert has died. He was an unbelievable 99 years old.
I'm very sorry to hear that. He was a favorite.
-
Just got an e-mail from young Caitlynne's mother - you might remember young Caitlynne performed my song Annie at a big competition against many people and won. Here's part two:
Bruce, your song “Annie” is kicking butt here in Canada. With Caitlynne winning here in Calgary, she got sent up to the province capital to represent Calgary in the Provincial Music Festival for 16 and under against 23 other competitors from across the province. She won!!!
Congrats to Caitlynne. There's now one more competition, so let's send her most excellent vibes and xylophones, shall we?
I'm supposed to get a tape of it soon.
-
That is wonderful news about Caitlynne!
Terrible news about Eddie Albert...I can't believe he was 99 years old! I just didn't realize!

Good evening, friends!
Finally, the long-awaited 3-day weekend. Right before leaving work today, I sent an email to my department manager that I hope doesn't get me fired. He was off today and works tomorrow, so I'll watch my work email from home and let you know.
Jane, thanks for the link to the story about Eddie Albert and his son's devotion.
-
I shall shortly be on my way to sup with the Pogues. What fun we shall have.
-
Elmore & Ginny you welcome.
Ginny I hope you don’t get fired-so GOOD KEEPING YOUR JOB VIBES! Should I include some kind of vibes the letter prompts some improvements at the library?
-
"I Wanna Be Annie" is a kick butt song! Good Caitlynne vibes.
DRELMORE have you seen this Putnam County Spelling Bee show?
-
Oh my friend Brent is on DATELINE on NBC...he is the male prostitute in a murder case....he LOVED being on COURT TV. Oh my!
-
PS: What are the dates of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN?? I forget.
I'll jump in and answer since TCB isn't here at the moment...
AGYG runs all four weekends of June, Fri/Sat at 8, Sundays at 2.
Here's a link to the theater's site (http://www.tacomalittletheatre.com)
-

It couldn't hurt, Jane! Actually, I'm not really worried about losing my job, but as DH Richard said, "If you don't stand up for yourself, who will?" My feeling is, if people like me whose opinions (I'm pretty sure) are respected by the management don't speak up, we're really in trouble.
-
"I Wanna Be Annie" is a kick butt song! Good Caitlynne vibes.
DRELMORE have you seen this Putnam County Spelling Bee show?
I would like to very much, because Bill Finn is a hoot socially, and I'm quite fond of him. He's crazy, though!
-
Oh my friend Brent is on DATELINE on NBC...he is the male prostitute in a murder case....he LOVED being on COURT TV. Oh my!
How interesting, I'm watching it to see my friend, David Rudolph, the defense attorney
-
Will they do a number from it on the Tony telecast?
-
Small world DRCILLALIZ.
I met Brent when we did a production of PARTY in Indianapolis, he was also a tennis pro on the Northside of Indy...and had a few "clients" on the side which I discovered when he left his pager at the theatre one night. He then joined the army and then he met Michael Peterson, I think.
He was in Indy last summer to do NAKED BOYS SINGING and included his Court TV appearance in his bio....and I asked him about it.....whew!

And here's your friend in the show!
-
That should give my dear friend BK cardiac arrest when he gets back!
-
It looks like a number in THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL, which is actually a better show and score than NAKED BOYS SINGING!
-
I thought it looked familiar.
A storm is brewing-night all.
-
Small world DRCILLALIZ.
Small World indeed. Did you see "The Staircase?" I can't remember if it was Showtime or which movie channel had it, maybe Sundance Channel. It was a 6 part series on the case. There was a lot about Brent in it. Much more than on Dateline.
I know David from the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He's a great guy. He really believed in Peterson's innocense. The verdict really hit him hard.
-
Nope didn't see any other show or program about it.
OMG DR ELMORE where did you find that photo? That has a couple of my friends in it. Didn't think much about the show and turned down the opportunity to choreograph it....because I didn't know where to start!
Yup there is Brad/Brent on the far right.
-
It was Sundance. Here's a link to the site for The Staircase. If you go to the biographies, Brent is listed under "Male Escort" Did you know he won a TV on "The Price is Right"?
http://www.sundancechannel.com/staircase/
-
LOL - yes he put that in his BIO as well.
Thanks for the link. :D
-
I'll be seeing Putnam County Spelling Bee this coming Wednesday. I'm looking forward to it, but I have to keep the hype out of my mind. I don't want to be disappointed. I do like Bill Finn's work (I don't know him) so I think this should be quite fun.
Yes, unless there is some unforseen problem, there will be a number from Spelling Bee on the Tonys. The pre-show (different from the Red Carpet, obviously) only available beginning at 7pm EST at
http://www.tonyawards.com/
will show the awarding of some of the less high profile awards, design, costume, possibly direction and choreography. That leaves more room in the 3 hour CBS broadcast for what they consider major awards and numbers from the nominated shows.
I'll be seeing Doubt on Tuesday and Pillowman either Thursday or Friday. It's like people seeing all the nominated movies before the Oscars, only more expensive. When I see Doubt and Pillowman I will have seen all the major nominations, IIRC. Then on to the Tonys on June 5th.
-
LOL - yes he put that in his BIO as well.
Thanks for the link. :D
-
Oh, my, that boy gets around, doesn't he!!!
-
DR BEN - I will look forward to your comments. I like Finn's work as well!
As to how much Brent gets around - I don't think we want to know! Once during PARTY he mentioned that a client had suffered a heart attack during a session.....and when I looked askance.....it assured me it was one of his "tennis" clients at the Club....not one of the others.
-
Thanks for the PRICE pic DR CILLALIZ.

You have excellent taste in friends, Jrand!
-
Well....they were naked and they were singing...and if everybody in the world is divided up into "girls and boys", by that definition, they were boys.
-
Oh, my, that boy gets around, doesn't he!!!
I'm willing to bet that he's naked somewhere, right now.
-
I am still very worried about LA CAGE. Les Cagelles have come and gone, the music director has not been totally committed to the show (she was a replacement for the original music director, and I'm not sure she really wanted to do the show) and has left us several nights with just a no talent pianist to struggle along with. The entire enterprise has been too slapdash for my taste, and I will say with firmness that I will not be auditioning for their production of SEUSSICAL next season. I'll be trying some other theater troupes in the area. One's doing OLIVER! in the fall, another KISS ME KATE. I may try my luck with them.
-
Will they do a number from it on the Tony telecast?
I think I read at Playbill.com today that parts of two SPELLING BEE songs will be done on the Tonys.
-
LOST was excellent. Seven minutes in, I jumped out of my seat and hollered at what I was seeing. There were two more "jump" moments for me in the show, too, and wonderful cliffhangers to keep us breathless until fall. Great show!
I had NO idea that DEADWOOD was the season finale! Oh, no! I have really enjoyed this season, I think possibly even more than the first season.
-
Thanks DRMATTH - I guess I could check the site...LOL.
I think you would win that bet, DR DtM.
-
Raining here...again.
-
Sad to read about Eddie Albert though to live to 99 is indeed a full life.
In his honor, I may put in a GREENACRES episode tomorrow to enjoy. Am still getting through DIE HARD 2. It's always been an enjoyable thrill ride (but doesn't have the breathless brilliance of the original).
-
DRMATTH - I have been involved in a couple of productions like you are going through. And those are the theatres I don't go back to either. There are too many who make it an enjoyable experience for the actors, staff, AND audience.
One of my goals as a director is to get the good people back - and I usually do. And people who start with me at the Playhouse usually audition for me again and again....and when they get into shows with other directors, they let me know how "different" it is...LOL.
-
Watching THE EXORCIST II...never seen it, but since it's on AMC, it will have editing and LOTS of commercials!
-
Eddie Albert and Lucille Ball made a great team in THE FULLER BRUSH GIRL.
-
Watching THE EXORCIST II...never seen it, but since it's on AMC, it will have editing and LOTS of commercials!
I think it's one of the very worst sequels ever made, and with their editing, a ridiculous film will probably seem even more nonsensical.
But I have known folks who liked it, so what do I know?
-
I didn't get my Turkish movie ( I forgot it was shipping from Greece...so I suppose that could take more then a few days) but I did get a couple of the Japanese horror films...am now watching MANSION OF THE GHOST CAT (1957)...it is quite creepy.
-
Back from supping with BK. Per his prediction, what fun we had!
-
Good Evening!
Mamma Mia!.... Here I go again... and again... and again...
;)
Now I just need to find out from the contractor just how many more "agains" I actually have coming up. As do the other keyboard players/standbys. :-\
-
Fun indeed. We laughed and laughed and just when we thought we could laugh no more, we laughed again. And the food was quite yummilicious, too.
On a whim, I stopped at my local DVD store and hit another mother lode: Cincinatti Kid, Tom Horn, Never So Few, Dead Ringers (the Cronenberg film, newly released by Warners), first two seasons of Quincy (in one set), St. Ives, and Kansas City Bombers with Raquel Welch.
-
DR Ron Pulliam - Sorry if I caused you some gastric distress. It really was a tasty lamb burger. Just one very thing slice of prosciutto on top, and a dollop of goat cheese. It really was quite good. Just think of it as a Mediterranean version of a bacon-cheeseburger.
And Stella's tiramisu is one of the best I've ever had. Not too heavy, not too Kahlua-y, and not too rich (tasting). And we did have a "pause" after finishing our burgers before tackling the dessert.
I hope this post hasn't caused more gurgling.
;)
-
BK - Great news about Caitlynne! -So, if she goes "wide" with this, do I get a "royalty" for the transcription and typesetting?
;D
-
DR JRand and Cillaliz - The more I read your posts about Brad/Brent, the more "afraid" I got to click on the links to find out more about him.
:P
-
It's very strange tonight, weather-wise. It almost feels as though it MIGHT rain. But that would be very strange for this time of year.
-
DR JOSE - we all know ALL we need to know about BG.
The cover of that Disco Dancer DVD that MBARNUM posted looked like they were wearing those MAMMA MIA! costumes, DRJOSE!
-
MANSION OF THE GHOST CAT scared the bejeebers out of me a couple of times...I was a bit surprised, frankly!
But it is probably not half as scary as DISCO DANCER, and I will be finding out in just a few moments. LOL!
-
At dinner tonight BK also bestowed on me two Theatre Worlds of which he had doubles and which I was missing in my collection. They were a delight to thumb through...the earlier ones did things like cover the Chicago theatre season , the summer stock theatre, and covered shows that didn't make it to Broadway.
I must say though I was looking at some Jose Ferrer shows of Volpone and The Alchemist and it was distressing to see that a theatre publication could not spell Ben Jonson's name correctly...spelling it the traditional "Johnson" way. Tsk! Tsk!
-
BK, let's hope the dog don't die on your watch!
-
DR JoseP, don't forget...Himanshu Malik is waiting for you....to view his movie!
(http://www.shaadi.com/wedding/celebrities/celebtalk/images/cel-himanshu-mallik.jpg)

BK, have you heard back from Jessica Skerritt? I do hope you will help her out!

...And he's outta here....
Goodnight.

Jessica has not called as of yet.
