Well, you've read the notes, the notes were open for business, and now it is time for you to post until the open for business cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: VIAND!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
And let the discussion continue here.

Notes opened. Unwrapped.

So glad I could conduct those New York concerts.

Congrats, Rodzinski! ;)

For Into the Woods, there are about 180 light cues, in addition to the 50 or so sound cues. I may not have to call the lights. The young woman who is running the lights has done it before and knows what to do, so it might be easier for her to just set them off on her own. I've done it that way a few times when I've run lights.
-
There is one point where I need to leave the booth near the end of the show, so she'll have to set off both her lights and a couple of sound cues. Fortunately, we're right next to each other in the booth, so that'll be easy.

Today is Memorial Day: a day for "honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces." It always surprises me when people say "Happy" Memorial Day? :o

That was an interesting bit of knowledge in the notes!

Well, it's a holiday weekend!

In these parts, Memorial Day, whatever its origin was, is mainly looked at as the unofficial beginning of summer (which seems to have its unofficial end with Labor Day weekend).
-
This differs from the calendar.

THere's a somewhat intense discussion over on the ATC chat board about where the key change actually happens in the Audra McDonald performance of "Some People" on Colbert a few nights ago.
The key change in question seems to be somewhere around 1:50 to 1:58 in this link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrYSE6PQsk
One person says it happens between "He was saying to me, Rose" and "Get yourself some new orchestrations. The other person, who claims to have the actual printed music from the production, says the key change is actually earlier.
-
The argument is between posters named "proftom" (who seems to be with the show, or at least has the music for the show) and "Chromolume" (who seems to be a music director who works a quite a bit regionally) - Both seem knowledgeable, but really disagree about where the key change is.
The back and forth starts around here, if anyone might find it interesting.
https://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat_new/d.php?id=2623633
I found it interesting, especially in that someone involved with the show (whose ATC screen name is unfamiliar to me) felt a desire to chime in on that, to set the record straight.
At least "proftom" implies he or she is involved with the show; you never REALLY know for sure on an anonymous chat board, though I figure the moderator would chime in if she felt someone were misrepresenting who they are.
-
At https://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat_new/d.php?id=2623706
"proftom" actually says:
"First off, to your question "who cares?" Obviously, I do.
Secondly, I'm not disagreeing with you about the key change. It just happens earlier than the OP said. You may not hear it until that vocal line. And yes, I do work on that production and no, I'm not emailing you pages."
-
Hmm, if I had divided that up better, this could have taken us to page 2 before 6 a.m. (Eastern). :)
-
There seems to be general agreement that Audra McDonald's performance of "Some People" on the Colbert show varies from her performance in the show, a decision which makes sense.
-
Nah, I can't milk this all the way to page 2. :)
-
Even on Free-for-all day, that would be a little too much of an extender.
-
Maybe there could be something called Posting Helper, kind of like Hamburger Helper
-
or Tuna Helper -
-
only adding more posts, vixmom style.
-
That reminds me of the story (was it by George Carlin, maybe? Or maybe Ed Bluestone?) of the Mom who would mix Tuna Helper with Hamburger Helper, and called it Surf and Turf.

Good morning, all!

Most of my weekend was catching up on the A&T mess of the first 10 chapters. I am now caught up, so I will continue with chapter 11 today.

Last night, I watched on Amazon Prime the first two episodes of a British minioseries, Miss Austen, based on the novel by Gill Hornby. After Jane Austen's death, many of her letters were burned by her sister Cassandra, which makes writing a biography of Miss Austen difficult. In 1840 Cassandra returns to the village of Kintbury, where she grew up, to help the daughter of her friend Eliza Fowle clear out her house after her father's death. There, she discovers a collection of letters from Jane to Eliza, whose brother Tom was once engaged to Cassandra, and the letters reveal much about the personal lives of the Austen sisters when they were young, around 1800.
I like the cast a lot. Like the musical Follies, many of the characters ad by two actors as the script jumps forty years from 1840 to the past. An actress named Patsy Ferran plays Jane Austen, and she looks very much like the existing portrait of Jane by Cassandra. She's very quirky and strangely pretty. Her mother and father are played by Phyllis Logan, who was Mrs Hughes in Downton Abbey, and her husband.
This is Cassandra's sketch around 1810, when Jane was 34.

Good morning

I have found page 2

But you're getting close to a really nice 76,000 post millstone!

Oh goodness, so I am!

Thank you Freddie

Thank you to dear Elmore for checking on me.

I guess I'll go ketchup
-
Good morning, all.
-
Stayed up late last night - well, not REAL late, just regular late - going down rabbit holes. And then I didn't end up sleeping "in", just woke up early-ish and got up. So I'm just feeling kind of blah thus far.
-
More coffee!
-
The ads for the upcoming CNN live showing of George Clooney in "Good Night, and Good Luck" are saying for the first time ever, Broadway goes live on television.
I guess that means it's the first time a Broadway show was being shown on TV as it was being performed in real time. (I thought there had been some Live from Lincoln Center showings from the Vivian Beaumont Theater - but I assume not, if CNN is saying what they're saying - or they're not counting Lincoln Center for some reason?)
-
Good morning to all
-
Hi, Michael!
-
Thank you to dear Elmore for checking on me.
You're very welcome, DR vixmom! I'm happy to see you here again!

Here Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge perform a duet of an old Sherman Brothers song that had been a small hit for Kitty Wells in the ‘50s.

That was beautiful. Yesterday was the first anniversary of Richard Sherman’s death.

I just did a library search on Paddy Chayefsky. I don’t think I paid attention to the fact that’s he’s credited as the adapter of Paint Your Wagon.

DR vixmom, I am glad you are feeling better enough to post here. May your recuperation continue apace.

I'm up to Chapter Fifteen now. Time for a break.

From DR Laura:
And that's the only good thing to come from TikTok, in my opinion.
:D

Today is Memorial Day: a day for "honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces." It always surprises me when people say "Happy" Memorial Day? :o
I am also guilty of doing this. I suppose, have a good or a thoughtful day is more appropriate. What do you say?
-

DR George, does that one work?
-
Nice song from DR RODZINSKI.
I think I have that LP somewhere.
-
Beautiful weather today.
I think my brother down the street is having a cookout this afternoon.
I'll have to walk by the jungle house to get there.
-
I attended a Memorial Day weekend cookout yesterday afternoon/evening. There were burgers, brats, and about 8 side salads.
Dessert was individual chocolate mousse and a Harvey Wallbanger cake with fresh whipped cream and raspberries.
-
That's one thing (of many) that I loved and miss about the Midwest -- brats being a regular thing there. In "Chicagoland", you couldn't find a cookout without them if you tried.
-
We are finally having a decent and fairly warm day here. The past week was something of a disaster with chilly and rainy weather. Yesterday it cleared up pretty nicely, but was still too cool. Today's better. We started cleaning up the deck a little, and boy does it need a deep cleaning. It'll get there eventually, but now at least we can stand to walk out there. And we'll be grilling or smoking something later.
-
Stop worrying about what other people think.
I mean, have you met other people?
They're awful.
-
I think DR Laura may have advanced beyond this stage. Me, I'm not so sure.
-
Why aren't koalas actual bears?
-
Because they don't meet the koalifications.
-
DR Jane, did you, or someone in your group, do this on your recent trip? 8)

Never mess with a pack of trombonists.

I am going to start a support group for people who talk too much.
-
I'm going to call it On and On Anon.
-
Good morning.
-
I spent the morning helping someone on a scientific project. Then I walked home.
-
It's almost 90 degrees, so it was a warm walk home.

Have fun. Take a photo of the jungle as you walk past.

DR JANE the jungle has been cleared.
I was taking my garbage can out to the street and noticed it. It looks fine. I haven't looked through the back fence to see if it was also mowed, but I am assuming it was.

The question should be why are they called bears in the first place ;D

Hello all. My wife and I finally got some sleep catchup today after production week.
-
Yesterday's performance went way better for the chorus than opening night, thank goodness.
-
And for the keyboardist? 8)
-
I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep.

Woke up an hour ago but just needed the extra hour, I guess.

Slowly stirring from a nap.

I need to get writing.

I wish I had taken a nap, but I think I waited too long and it is too late now.

But we got some things done today, including setting up our 2nd bathroom.

Pretty much.

All went perfectly, thanks! I guess the samples are hosted on a computer which decided to take a break in the middle of his solo on opening night.

That’s much nicer.

Mahler really used the triangle a little in his second symphony. It reminded me of Martin Short’s Ed Grimley character on SNL, who also played — or at least tried to — the triangle.
-
There was one moment where the player didn’t dampen quickly enough and that tinkle echoed a second too long. It didn’t matter.
-
The only recording of the Mahler 2nd Symphony I have is late Bernstein in his “overthink everything” mode. It’s so lugubrious that it doesn’t sound anything like the piece I heard Friday.
-
Try the MTT / San Francisco Symphony with the incomparable Lorraine Hunt Lieberson singing Urlicht.

Oskar Eustis is coming to San Antonio to deliver a lecture. Sadly it’s while I am away.

I got a new gadget today that lets you do your own cupping. It works. Something I never thought I’d be doing to myself in my own home.

It’s raining here now, a sound better than Bobby Breen’s singing.

Flash flood warning and severe thunderstorm warning in effect.

The thunder and lightning are too loud and bright to go to bed now.

I have several Mahler 2s. I'll have to look them over.

Finished with my viewing, although there's a part two I may try to watch later.

I did about six or seven pages today, writing-wise. Getting back in the swing of things.
-
Marshall Harvey picked up the hard drive. I'm supposed to make notes about what I want to fix.
-
The only problem is - I don't have the videos anymore - they're on the hard drive - oops.
-
Site is hiccuping badly - I've reported the problem and hopefully they'll get it fixed quickly.

Weird.

Weirdly weird.

I haven't caught up on posts, so I don't know if this has been mentioned here, but Legally Blonde was shown live on MTV back when that was on Broadway, and they made a big deal about THAT being the first Broadway show shown live on TV. ::)
