COMPLETE change in the weather, at last.

Which actually happened yesterday, but we finally truly felt it last night. Had a pretty solid sleep under the covers with the windows open, and that was heavenly.

Today:  cool, with a high of around 70! 

Saturday and Sunday will be sunny but warm, not too hot, topping off in the low 80s. Perfect summer weather.

Last night I did what DR Jrand74 said he might do, which is watch Apocalypse Now on TCM - or at least start it and fall asleep to it.

Turns out I was in the mood, and though I began to get drowsy during the last segment, I didn't "lose it", and I ended up watching the whole bloody thing for the first time in years.

I wish I'd gone to it at the Cinerama Dome. I was a late comer to seeing it at all, and I can't remember where, but I know I went to a second-rate theeder to see it, probably a couple of years after the fact. I've never actually loved it, but whenever I return to it for one reason or another, my basic appreciation for it has grown. I've owned it on laser, DVD, Blu-ray, and a "deluxe" Blu-ray which I have now. I'm glad I watched last night, and maybe someday I'll figure out what the different versions or cuts of it actually consist of.

I caught the last 20 minutes or so of TCM's airing of the AFI tribute to Coppola beforehand. Interesting, but that was enough of it. Got me in the "mood", at least.

Today:  music, music, music. I must play through every song in this little concert, work on the three or four of them that really need it, and finish my "edits" and "layouts" of them on the iPad so that the whole affair runs smoothly.

Tomorrow, Saturday, a long rehearsal for the local kids. Sunday, a rehearsal with the Rhode Island kids (this woman teaches locally and at URI, I think it is) plus the locals, putting it all together, and then the program is Sunday evening. After that, I have no musical obligations for a while.

The new computer sounds absolutely great.

The Mac Mini sounds like the way to go, too, for maximum value and ruggedness. They're usually found in the professional pits and other keyboard venues when MainStage is used, rather than the Macbook Pros.

I went to Little Murders in Cleveland when it was released, and a few of us returned two or three times to savor the performances and, of course, the new audacious writing.

After that I didn't see it in years and I don't think I ever owned a copy of it until several years ago when I included it in an order from Indicator (UK). I shall now have to take that out and begin savoring it all over again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo7gRHip0lI


The trailer makes it feel like Rodgers' opening night of OKLAHOMA! with Hammerstein immediately eclipsed in Hart's feeling of self-worth all the many standards Rodgers and Hart had written together.

Or maybe I'm reading too much about the movie into that trailer.

Yes I indeed watched Apocalypse Now for the first time last night.

I am still thinking about it. Movies about Vietnam are difficult for me to watch. A lot of guys from my generation have much different lives than they would have had otherwise.....if at all....so I don't like to be reminded of it.

The State Fair starts today - as does the local Old Settler Fair.

Local TV hosts of movies and cartoons always used to broadcast from the fair including Miss Frances Farmer who looked a bit out of place talking to 4H and FFA winners of blue ribbons for goats, cows, and hogs.

Miss Frances died 55 years ago today on August 1, 1970.

I was going to watch a movie, but I have, I'm afraid, gone down the Arrest and Trial rabbit hole - two episodes so far, the irony of which is that one guest-starred Sandy Dennis and the other guest-starred George Segal. The following year, they would both become major stars when they worked together in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Funny how you feel like a part of you is missing these days when you forget your phone.

Recalls "How a part of me she's grown" from NICK AND NORA

"She's the one real love I've known.
How a part of me she's grown.
Once I liked to drink alone.
Look who's alone now."

I really like that cast recording.

Yes, but did George finish a book yesterday - the one he was going to finish the day before. Did he finish it today? Will he finish it prior 2026?

I was able to read some more of it...I'm now up to 55%!  I plan to read some more after the day changes tonight. :)

After reading this afternoon, the family gathered at my mom's house for lasagna and to visit either my cousin and his wife.

Several of us played Phase 10 (I didn't win) and after we all left, it took more that a half hour to get home because there's construction on I-5 and for a bit of it, they had the two left lanes blocked, and only one lane was available! :o

It's be great once it's all done, but until then, I'll try to avoid I-5 and go the back streets.

Tomorrow, everyone's going back to my mom's house for dinner, but since everyone wants something different, and my mom doesn't want to cook something different for everyone, we all will bring what we each want. ;)

I figured out why I couldn't find that album online, BK.

It's not called The Sherman Brothers Album; it got titled Believe: The Songs of the Sherman Brothers.

A question for BK...is this one of the titles that Concord has re-released?
Title: Re: THE AUGUST MONTH OF AUGUST
Post by: George on August 02, 2025, 12:10:00 AM
And do all recordings of all the passes still exist?
Title: Re: THE AUGUST MONTH OF AUGUST
Post by: George on August 02, 2025, 12:11:46 AM
If the answer to both is yes, if nothing's been done to the re-release, would it be possible as the original producer to approach Concord and ask them if you could finish the job?

I remember before it was first released and was listed on the site that shall not be mentioned, there was a mock-up of the original cover art that was pulled because permission wasn't granted.

I downloaded that image and printed it to be out with my copy of the official release.  At some point my original downloaded file got lost or the computer died or something, but then I rescanned the printout and (should) still have that.

Let me see if I can find it.

Yes, all the passes are on the hard drive or drives. I've been having this very conversation with Concord - first two years ago, and then again three weeks ago. They're fine with me doing it - it will cost them nothing, they'll own the remix, I can finally make it right, and they're fine with me doing a 500 CD limited edition run. But it's very slow going - they have to find the hard drives and I'm not sure any of that stuff is organized. I'm staying on it, though.

But would the official artwork still be used, or could the actual Disney images be used?
Title: Re: THE AUGUST MONTH OF AUGUST
Post by: bk on August 02, 2025, 12:27:33 AM
The title would change to what it was supposed to be - The Sherman Brothers Album. Not sure about using actual Disney artwork but we'd sure use the same Disney-like font that adorns the cover of the new book. And the order would be what I wanted it to be. Also, Guy Haines would record the track he was supposed to do and we'd include that and perhaps a couple of their songs from the Cinderella album as bonuses.
