Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland 132, and now it is time for you to post until the 132 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PRAISE!
-
I do have photos but I'll save them for the next notes.
-
Good morning, all!
-
After a really good night of slrrp, last night was the opposite. The cats were fine, and I can't blame them. My body is the problem.
-
I have to finish that second cue today First, after kitty cleaup, I have my trip to the basement and mailboxes.
-
It's nice to hear the show went well, but I'm sorry about the audience. Perhaps it's just a summer thing: vacations, after being out on a hot day at work or the beach, who wants to go out again. Maybe it's a Wednesday curse?

TOD
My favorite Disney film scores are Snow White, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, and Mary Poppins. I love Bambi, Dumbo, Cinderella, Peter Pan, and The Sleeping Beauty, but I don't think the scores are consistently good. For me, the best music in Bambi is the orchestra score, not the songs, and in the case of The Sleeping Beauty, whose music is adapted from Tchaikovsky's ballet score, I don't think the music adaptors-composers are up to it; I'd have asked Wright and Forrest.
Songs I love outside of Snow White, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, and Mary Poppins:
Love is a song that never ends (Bambi)
When I see an elephant fly (Dumbo)
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah (Song of the South)
The second star ti the right (Peter Pan)
Bibbity-bobbity-boo (Cinderella)
The ballad of Davy Crockett
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Glad the show went well, and BK's voice held. Sorry about the $$.

Good morning, all.

Good morning, all.

Hippos.
Duly noted.
-
Glad to hear the show was great.
A lot of people in my area still see the current low audience attendance as a holdover from the pandemic. In that year and a half, too many people stopped going out ... PERIOD. A huge audience was lost. Shows, plays, movies, you name it. It's sad, but also infuriating.
-
The Big Heat (no, not the movie) is back. We'll get to 90 degrees today, 95 or 97 or higher tomorrow, and about 90 again on Saturday. All of it with very high humidity, of course, which is what makes it notable in the first place.
I'm going to mow some more "lawn" this morning and maybe have to finish up tomorrow morning. But that's probably all the outdoor work I'll get done till next week.
-
Great to hear the show went so well last night!
Also sorry to hear about the dollars situation.
-
singdaw, wishing you and your DH a wonderful time at your DH's reunion!
-
Excellent list, Elmore. I will add a few more.
Someone’s Waiting for You (The Rescuers)
Lavender Blue (So Dear to My Heart)
Casey Jr. (Dumbo)
In Me Jaunting Car (The Gnome-Mobile)
The Colors of the Wind (Pocahontas)
Beauty and the Beast

I do have photos but I'll save them for the next notes.
Looking forward to the photos!

Good morning.

TOD: Grim Grinning Ghosts
-
A question for the class:
Does anyone here follow the Facebook page called The Oscar Hammerstein Museum & Theatre Education Center?
I see their posts in my feed, but they never get anything but a few "likes". There's never a single comment. By anyone. I clicked on Comment just to see if it's working, or if it's restricted in some way, but it opened up like normal and seemed ready for me to say something. Just curious.
Andy Hammerstein posts occasionally on his own page, mostly about his painting or maybe something else going on, but he doesn't post on that other page either. He's listed as a follower, though.
-
Notes waxed. Waned.
-
TOD: “Not in Nottingham.”
-
I do like the Grim, Grinning Ghosts too!
-
I do not know that page, Chas. Hmm.
-
Sounds like a fun Kritzerland show I wish I’d been close enough to see.
-
You can add me to the "Grim Grinning Ghosts" list. Anything Haunted Mansion-ish or dark-ish in general is always extra fun.
-
Nice repor in the notes about the show.
-
I like the TOD lists so far....
-
I don't think I have anything to add.
-
I know I said that yesterday the temp here was 909 degrees, however it was NOT quite that high.
-
Thursday morning greetings! I had my echocardiogram on Tuesday and it must not have shown anything too alarming. They let me leave and I haven’t heard anything from the doctor, so I’m hoping no news is good news.
-
Another hot one today....92+ degrees......
-
DR ChasSmith, we’re among those who go out a lot less than we used to. Pandemic had something to do with it, but I think it’s also an age thing.
-
DR CHAS SMITH that is the documentary.
I knew next to nothing about Z TV....so it was interesting to me.

It's a hot one - feels like a song cue ...
Santana - Smooth (Official Video) feat. Rob Thomas

-
Jrand or John G, have you ever danced to that (quite non-Disney) song?
-
That "Smooth" video got 415,670,534 views
Wonder where they posted their link, besides castrecl and the Times comments.

Such fun to exercise to in its day. Must be such an exciting song for people who can REALLY dance!
-
Good, ekg news, Ginny!
-
I saw Z Channel doc many years ago. In fact I believe the HHW record will show I was the very first to view it. And yet…I remember so little about it.
-
Not I DR FREDDIE.
-
JRand, how’s the new neighbor across the street?
-
You ought to give Pieowa a try.
LOL!
-
I'm up, for now.
-
Maybe four hours of sleep.
-
I couldn't go right to bed due to eating the Eyealian sub - had to let that settle.
-
I absolutely love The Second Star to the Right. And I love our version of it on the Peter Pan album, one of the loveliest of Crista Moore's always lovely performances, along with elmore's orchestration of it.
-
Vixmom sure has been errant and truant for way too long.
-
I think I deserve something fun for lunch - just don't know what yet.
-
I'm kind of with elmore about the Golden Age of Disney songs - there are some treasures, but they went their own way and rarely used popular movie composers of the day, although Swiss Family Robinson had English composer William Alwyn. Treasure Island had Brit composer Clifton Parker. But the stuff shot here always had Disney composers like Paul Smith.
-
Is there gaslighting going on here?
-
See?
-
I think George is coming up to a new millstone.
-
It's so nice not to have to worry about the show.
-
Are you really thinking of stopping doing the shows if the model doesn't get more financially secure?
-
I know I said that yesterday the temp here was 909 degrees, however it was NOT quite that high.
It could get there later, DR Jrand74. All things are possible.
-
DR ChasSmith, we’re among those who go out a lot less than we used to. Pandemic had something to do with it, but I think it’s also an age thing.
Oh, that applies to me as well. I am one of the guilty. Hell, I'll wager it applies to most of us here to one extent or another. I even keep SAYIG* I'm going to get better at going out to things, but only occasionally does it happen.
*Edit: SAYING. Good Lord.
-
In the meantime, keep up the good health reports, DR Ginny!
-
DR CHAS SMITH that is the documentary.
I knew next to nothing about Z TV....so it was interesting to me.
It's definitely interesting. I was just hoping to see/hear little reminders of the actual thing playing.
I checked, and I do have the DVD, so I'm taking it out to watch again. I only saw it once, and it sounds like DR Rodzinski most definitely beat me to it, if he posted about it way before I was even here.
Per IMDb, the US release date of the documentary is 2004. Amazon says I bought the DVD in 2012, which is when I first heard of it. But they say the DVD had been released in 2005. I wonder why I heard of it so late. Well, I'm just glad I did.
-
Another such doc that is essential to the likes of moi is "All Things Must Pass", about Tower Records. I gobbled that up the very week the Blu-ray was released.
And another pour moi is "One Six Right", about Van Nuys Airport. Gotta love these things that are actually about something you lived and breathed. Naturally, you'll find little things wrong or sadly missing when it's subjects you really know, but they're still must-haves.
-
Yet another doc that should have been essential for me is "Los Angeles Plays Itself". I think BK has posted about this one. As I vaguely recall, in two hours and fifty minutes, they keep returning to the same handful of films, and it's the most woefully inadequate attempt at this subject that I can imagine. Of course a doc that really did the job thoroughly would probably be a ten-hour one, which I personally would eat up, but...
I hope I'm not remembering it incorrectly. That was my strong impression at the time, and I just remember being very disappointed in it. Maybe someone else will disagree.
-
But that's enough documentary nostalgia from me.
It would be too easy to go down a rabbit hole on some of these subjects.
-
I have to find a way to make it work at that club - it has up until now, except for last year's anniversary show - that one didn't sell that well, although I broke even, barely. So, I'd be nervous to do that show this year although we should do our fifteenth anniversary somewhere. I'd still like to do five or six a year - I just wish there was another venue.
-
Los Angeles Plays Itself is one of the most disappointing, bloated, pretentious, and awful documentaries - LA is a great subject.
-
Didn't you have a somewhat smaller cast for this one? And therefore, maybe fewer personal reach-outs to other people?
I can't believe there aren't hundreds of people in L.A. who haven't yet been to this kind of show, but are tuned in enough to these things to hear about it and say yeah, that's for me, let's go.
-
"Since President Trump took it over, the Kennedy Center has been like our nations First Lady: renovated and vacant."
:))
Personally I think people should simply ignore the first lady and stop talking/complaining about her. DR Singdaw, this one is great. ;D
-
DR Singdaw have a safe and fun long weekend.
-
From DR George:
For those who care for such things, they also have some vegan doughnuts.
The ones I had were good. Bryan got some for Craig along with regular ones for us when we lived in Ashland.
-
Part of the problem is club hopping. When we were in the same place for years and doing them every month on a specific day, then people always knew the where and when and they did come every single month. But I don't have that in me anymore - how I did that for ten years is both amazing and baffling. But Catalina is just too big for us and the deal there is they want at least ninety or a hundred people there and more if possible. The most any other club we were in seated was around 110, so that if we had 80 it was a really full room. Catalina can seat over 200, which is what we had for the Richard celebration of life concert last year - I actually made a lot of money on that one. The shows cost 1350. That's with five performers getting paid, and the MD. That's what I have to make back. Anyway, we'll see how things are in September, which is when we'd do the next show, and then maybe one in October, then the holiday show.
-
That was after we first attempted to go to Voodoo Doughnuts on a Sunday morning. We waited in the long line for about half an hour. Those who wanted coffee went and got it. Once they returned we decided the wait would be about another hour and we left.
-
But the majority of our shows always had five cast members and one guest star.
-
Thursday morning greetings! I had my echocardiogram on Tuesday and it must not have shown anything too alarming. They let me leave and I haven’t heard anything from the doctor, so I’m hoping no news is good news.
Great news. Thanks for the update. I have been thinking of you and hoping all your tests are ok.
-
Vixmom sure has been errant and truant for way too long.
I was thinking that too. Hope she’s doing okay.
-

Remember when IFC was mostly showing uncut independent films and docs? I think that’s where I first saw it.
-
I wrestle in my head with documentaries. I so often end up disappointed, maybe because, like Chas said, if you know a topic well, you’re bound to notice the things left out and the inaccuracies. They are an overview for the uninitiated. But than again, why should inaccuracies be tolerated? Or fake timeline shifts or over-reliance on the point of view of the random people who agreed to talk? I’d prefer just watching uncut interviews and 10 hours of amazing footage. But that’s my problem. Nobody short of Ken Burns is making those docs.
-
Had a biscotti - the company that makes these do a really fine job.

Potatoes are cheaper, tomatoes are cheaper, now's the time to fall in love. Great song. Written by? Richard and Robert Sherman's daddy Al.

Following another book auction - most amusing - dealers trying to bump up prices like crazy. Only a few things have gone reasonably. What I will never understand is people bidding up crappy copies - I wouldn't even have them in my collection for any money - unless it's so rare that that's the only way you can have it. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir first edition is like that - virtually no copies anywhere in anything but a fair dust jacket.
-
I'm a condition freak, though - which is why a handful of dealers come here when I'm in a selling mood - they know I have the best copies anywhere.
-
Since BK's post above made me feel like hearing this theme song -

DR RODZINSKI the new neighbors are doing fine.
I think Mr. New Neighbor wears his Colts Jersey and sports shorts to work he usually gets home about 3:30 p.m. Mrs New Neighbor is a nurse and gets home about 5 pm.
I mentioned to them on Tuesday that there is No Parking on their side of the street but they could park in front of my house if they wished. I mentioned the signs further down the street that they may not have noticed.
They said Thank You.......[old annoying man neighbor - understood NOT spoken].
-
You'd think they'd be grateful for the info.
[Later edit]. Hmm, maybe I read your post wrong and they were indeed grateful?
-
Couldn't they have gotten ticketed for where they were parking?
-
Chuck Mangione gone now too? Feels so bad.
-
We needed two copies of “Feel So Good” in our house because one of my sisters and I each had to have one.
-
Food on its way, although driver is making stops along the way - if it arrives cold, I'm not paying for it.

Feels So Good features Grant Geissman's famous solo.
-
This DoorDash driver is nowhere near here - he's now had my food in his car for forty minutes. I will be contacting support unless by some miracle it's still warm - reheating soup in the microwave ruins the soup, same with the kid-size pizza that's coming - no way to reheat and have it taste good.
-
I mean this yokel is still twenty minutes - that's an hour my food has been in his car and that's IF I'm next.
-

Good God, what a week.

I just read that two surfers attempted to save Malcolm-Jamal Warner and his eight year old daughter. One surfer saved the daughter, the other had to be resuced, alon with Warner, by lifeguards. On the beach CPR was given to Warner for 45 minutes before they gave up. The surfer was treated at the hospital and released.
-
And Hulk Hogan has died. He was 71 years old.
-
Two sad things DR JANE.
-
Yes DR FREDDIE I may have saved them a ticket.....we shall see as the weekend goes on. Yes they said thank you.....I guess I expected a box of donuts and a bottle of champagne.

Does anyone else have State Farm Insurance on the car?
They have completely changed the way they send a bill and the declarations of coverage and it is most confusing and annoying.
I guess I have to go visit my agent next week. UGH!
-
Travel and Reunion Vibes for DR singdaw & DH.
-
I have to find new home and auto insurance because the company this agent has had me with for several years is getting out of the home coverage business. State Farm has been tops on my list to try next, just because I hear more good than bad about them, but I'll also see what the agent comes up with in a few days.

Yes, especially the drowning.

I asked Keith since he handles it. We pay online and he hasn't noticed a difference, plus he can easily see the coverage. He is curious what you are finding different.

Over the years we have mostly been pleased with them. Right now our car insurance has gone up more than we think it should be.

My brother's son just texted me - my brother passed away quietly last night at nine-thirty. He knew it was coming and emailed me a couple of weeks ago. He was against doing any kind of radiation or treatment. While we were certainly at odds for all of my childhood, in later years, starting in the 70s, we became closer and friendly - didn't see him that much because he wasn't in California anymore. But we lunched earlier this year and that was fun.
-
BK, we're so sorry. Our condolences to you and to your and his family on this sad loss.
-
Very sorry to hear that, BK.
-
In spite of the early relationship, he figured large in your books. A sad piece of news. Condolences.
-
so sorry to hear MR BK.
Of course in the circumstances....all else seems inconsequintial.
-
So sorry to hear your bad news, BK. Hugs.
-
Sending virtual hugs, BK, and vibes for peace.

BK, so sorry to hear about your brother. Hopefully with time, may his memory be a blessing.

Congratulations on the artistic success of the Kritzerland show and sorry to hear about the attendance issues.
-
At our regional opera company, attendance has rebounded for the matinees but remains way down for the evening performances.
-
But the audience only wants Sunday matinees. One season we switched the Saturday evening performance to a matinee and attendance got even worse. That got switched back the following season.

I love Sunday matinees for our shows. I may ask if we can do that for the anniversary show - it's so much easier for people. Part of the issue on weekday evenings is the show doesn't start until eight-thirty so you're not out of there until ten.
-
I think we've finally figured out this new PayPal way - Doug made it sound really complex, but the fact is it's designed for idiots - I went to the new thing they do and I called Doug and said, "I could do this, it's so simple." So, we're about to do a test and if it works we'll probably go live later this evening or in the morning.
-
I really wish I didn't have this eye doctor appointment tomorrow, but I've already cancelled once and don't think I should again.

That's great, Freddie!
Thanks, George!

Kino Lorber's big sale ends tomorrow at noon. Great bargains - 100s of Blus at 9.99
Thank you for the reminder. I found a set of Truffaut films that I didn’t have, including two that meant a lot to me as a teenager: The Wild Child and The Green Room. Actually, I loved all four as a teen: The other two are Small Change and The Man Who Loved Women.

I’m back watching Marcello Mio. Can’t recommend this one. Catherine Deneuve is really good, as always.

The rest isn’t.

Thanks for the heads up!

Chuck Mangione gone now too? Feels so bad.
Oh, no! :(

This DoorDash driver is nowhere near here - he's now had my food in his car for forty minutes. I will be contacting support unless by some miracle it's still warm - reheating soup in the microwave ruins the soup, same with the kid-size pizza that's coming - no way to reheat and have it taste good.
What?? :o
-
I mean this yokel is still twenty minutes - that's an hour my food has been in his car and that's IF I'm next.
How rude! >:(

And Hulk Hogan has died. He was 71 years old.
I'd heard that.

My brother's son just texted me - my brother passed away quietly last night at nine-thirty. He knew it was coming and emailed me a couple of weeks ago. He was against doing any kind of radiation or treatment. While we were certainly at odds for all of my childhood, in later years, starting in the 70s, we became closer and friendly - didn't see him that much because he wasn't in California anymore. But we lunched earlier this year and that was fun.
I'm so sorry, BK. My condolences. :'(

Sweet!

I think we've finally figured out this new PayPal way - Doug made it sound really complex, but the fact is it's designed for idiots - I went to the new thing they do and I called Doug and said, "I could do this, it's so simple." So, we're about to do a test and if it works we'll probably go live later this evening or in the morning.
Very cool!

DANCE OF THE RUPERTS!! ;D

I AM!! :D
Congratulations, George, on your wonderful new millstone!
Thanks, Freddie!

Good night, all.

I guess we haven't figured out the PayPal thing - so we'll try again in the morning. So frustrating.
