TOD: Hearing Dionne Warwick songs on what was, for me, oldies radio, and finding a singularity to them. Maybe my first time seeing the name, though, was on the inner sleeve of a Herb Alpert LP, the one with “This Guy’s in Love With You” on it, coincidentally. A&M Records always had good inner sleeves for staring at other records for sale. And I saw his LP “Reach Out.” Then I might’ve put together that he wrote that Herb Alpert song. And didn’t that horn and arrangement sound like “Close to You” on my sister’s Carpenters Greatest Hits album, also on A&M? Just connecting dots until it seemed like he was everywhere.

TOD: I think my first awareness of the name Burt Bacharach was either in the credits of CASINO ROYALE, or the credits for PROMISES PROMISES.
Is it possible that the soundtrack to LOST HORIZON was out and available before the word got out that the movie was not good? I seemed to recall knowing and mostly enjoying the songs before the various premiere hoopla events for the movie were on TV.

Good morning, all!

I slept rather well, but the weather isn't helping. It's either too warm in the apartment at bedtime at the momet, and then around 2:00 it;s too cold in the apartment and I have to fight the cats to get blankets t cover my freezing. I'll be happy when this period of Indian Summer is over.

Yesterday, I got a beautiful review for Annabelle & Thatch from former DR Tomovoz:
If you're like me and immerse yourself in a book
There is a treasure that I can recommend to you
Where the characters inside will touch your heart
As affectionate cats and kittens are prone to do
A book that is based on a reality of a love shared
The adventures of two cats will make you smile
You'll meet their human and avian friends as well
I guarantee you'll be charmed by the writer's style
One of those books not to be kept on your shelf
The characters will need to be close to your side
Their reality you will need to share with loved ones
(I'll confess there were situations when I cried)
At last the perfect gift for friends who understand
That a family is far more than those sharing a name
There are bonuses if you love theatre and New York
A stella gift; your view of cats will never the same
-
And speaking of Annabelle, eight years ago today, I attended a pet adoption event at Union Square and home with a young, maybe 8-10 month-old cat named Annabelle. In that one day, my life changed forever. This photo was taken in her first week with me.

I remember really liking Do You Know The Way to San Jose and Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.
DR JOHN G Ii think I got the Lost Horizon soundtrack from the record club before the movie was in wide release.

Bad night of sleep. I want a do-over.

Didn’t someone here rhyme that with lugubrious?

I liked the Dionne Warwick songs I heard on the radio, but I never recognized the Bacharach name until I got the OBC recording of Promises Promises and flew to New York in August 1969 to see it. In the souvenir program and playbill I learned that a lot of songs I'd liked on the radio were by the show's composer.
-
Burt was always there by the time I came along. His work with Dionne Warwick was a part of the scene from my first awareness of music. Amazing run.
-
Page turn!

Jrand, I was the one who had asked about having had the album before the movie was out and declared not good.
Thanks for answering. That does make sense - I made a lot of my LP purchases in those days from the record clubs.
-
Good morning, all.

One of my favorite YouTube comments was on a parody of a Burt Bacharach -Hal David song. I thought Jan Horvath sounded fantastic on this parody track
Kristin Chenoweth Tribute - 2010's"Promises, Promises" - "Knowing When To Close" - Parody of "Knowing When to Leave"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf_ZsvMCZTo
This was the comment. (I choose to assume. since they were being positive, that they meant the opposite of what they wrote.)

I believe I posted that I'd stayed awake through about half of Our Man in Havana when shown on TCM a few nights ago?
Well, it was so damned appealing that the next day I took out the Twilight Time Blu-ray and watched it straight through from the beginning. I was glued to it throughout.
I think I read the Graham Greene book just before seeing it some years ago, and I loved both. Now I've got to read it again, because after this viewing I'm declaring this to be one of my top favorite movies. (Top ten? Top five? Top fifty? I don't play those games. I'm just stating that it's one of my supremely favorite movies, and that list is expandable as needed.)
Somehow I'd missed before that Greene wrote the screenplay. Did he write any others? I'll have to check. But this film, man...
The B&W Cinemascope is stunning. The cast (Alec Guinness, Burl Ives, Noël Coward, Ernie Kovacs, Maureen O'Hara) is uniquely great. And not least, though lighthearted in certain respects, it's also one of the great Cold War films, one of my favorite categories in film and literature. It doesn't even have a score, just "diegetic" music. And it doesn't need any more than that. It is, in short, in my humble blah blah blah, a perfect movie.
I couldn't be happier to have that Blu-ray. Prior to Twilight Time, it was only ever issued on DVD in the U.S., and even now, the only in-print Blu-rays I saw on a very quick search are imports of unknown provenance.

Nice that tomovoz is still around and kicking. It was an unfortunate situation with him from the time when Mark Rothman was here trying to steal everyone to come to HIS newly-created blog copycat site - he was so obnoxious and people were getting irritated and I told him to STOP. Then he began emailing or PMing everyone and bashing me and sadly tomofoz, to whom I'd always been nothing but nice, joined in on the bashing BK - the ONLY one. How do I know this? Because the jerk sent me tom's email to show me that I was hated by everyone, with an especially nasty nod from tom about my books that followed the Kritzer books. I wrote tom, just so he knew Mark had forwarded me his email and told him I was sorry he felt as he did. I think he was so mortified that he never returned. Glad elmore stayed in touch - lovely review.
-
I see on google that Mark Rothman played the Brain. Did he once post here as a DR also?

Happy Annabelle Day!

Speaking of TOMOVOZ.
Last night I was looking up something.
I remember many years ago I was sitting on a bench outside the theeder where the Children's Theeder Workshop was going on. An older lady was sitting on the bench across from me. We started talking. She said she had enjoyed The Crucible the opening show of the season.
She told me her name was Jean Nascimbene and she was married to a retired doctor. Her grand daughter was in the workshop. She them mentioned that her father had been an actor on Broadway. She was very casual about him.
She told me his name Paul Huber.
-
Sorry DR FREDDIE I don't always scroll up.
But I was happy to get the answer.

Her father was Rosencrantz in John Barrymore's HAMLET.....and lots of other things in the 1920's.
He worked up until ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. He was in The Immoralist with James Dean.
His Equity Card was something like #3.
Jean was in a musical with him during WWII titled Strip For Action which was her debut and swansong.....
-
Burt was always there by the time I came along. His work with Dionne Warwick was a part of the scene from my first awareness of music. Amazing run.
I think this pretty much sums up my experience, too. I heard her songs, then found out he wrote them, then discovered musicals and eventually Promises, Promises. ;D
-
ANYWAY I told this story again because as I was looking her up on the web last night, the story came up as I had posted in on HHW back in 2012...and one of the other posters on the page was Tomovoz.....
I know long walk-short pier.

Access to the site, and to photo uploading, both, are off and on for me. When it's on, it's good.
This is from about ten minutes ago when it was stubbornly inaccessible for a while:

One might almost say that access is a fickle pickle, if one was of a mind to do so.

Anyhoo, let's see if I can sneak an upload in while the system isn't looking!
This photo is one of those dated October 12, 2017 - my first ever visit to a cat at West 82nd Street:

This morning, a friend was walking down the street and was hit by a violin, then a clarinet, and then a french horn.
We think it was an orchestrated attack.

Actually, I haven't stayed in touch with him. I cut him off when that mess was going on, but he remained friends with the late TCB, who wanted me to mend the friendship. Tomovoz has actually been a much better friend to me than I have been to him. There's enough water under the bridge; I wish he would come back to HHW.

I wasn't mean to Tomovoz in my response to him - I just wanted him to know what a scum Rothman was for sending me a private e-mail. I told him I was sorry he didn't like my books anymore but that it did not bother me in the least. That was it. Again, I think he was mortified that Rothman had sent me his privately-penned e-mail. But that was Rothman in a nutshell, one of the most ego-ridden jerks I've ever interacted with.
-
Freddie, yes, he played the Brain. It was a good idea on paper and a terrible idea in reality because a) he couldn't take direction and b) he was a terrible actor. He, of course, thought he saved the show. His idea of funny was walking into the Chance Theater to rehearse and announcing, "I gotta take a dump." Right. He's lived his entire life on the laurels of co-creating Laverne and Shirley with Lowell Ganz. Ganz, with a new partner, went on to be hugely successful. Rothman went on to do "She's the Sheriff."
-
When he saw that I'd written what was then twelve books, he decided he would write books and publish via what was then CreateSpace on Amazon. Amateur and he wrote nothing - they were all gatherings of the idiocy he posted on his copycat blog site. He coerced Cindy into giving him a blurb, even though she told me she did not want to. He then, and this is exactly who he is, used that same blurb on every pamphlet he published - they weren't really long enough to be books.
-
He couldn't take direction because he wasn't an actor, but I heard him give direction to actors doing a reading of an unfunny play he wrote. His idea of direction was simply giving them exact line readings. I kid you not.
-
Anyway, I would have zero problem with Tom coming back. He should never have left, IMO, and I'm pretty sure I told him that.

I was also having trouble getting connected to HHW a few times earlier today.

I stayed FB pals with Tom. He used to send me tons of CDs he recorded from his collection of 45s. I wasn’t around during the controversy and he never mentioned it, I imagine because it didn’t reflect well on him. Anyway, good heart, and I’m sorry he’s not on here. I think he’d fit right back in.

Sounds like one of you who know him and would like him to come back should contact him and tell him that, and also say that those of us who showed up here later, and didn't know him, agree.

Using my newly-found rabbit hole of the HHW statistics, his last posts here were in Feb. 2009.

I remember that kerfuffle. I got an email from that guy, too, which I deleted. I don't even remember what any of it was about.

In 2014 Keith & I took a cruise that stopped in Melbourne. Tomovoz & Colin met us at the cruise port and gave us a wonderful day. Lunch at their home was part of our tour.

I enjoy reading his poems almost every day on Facebook.
Rodzinski, last week, we had an eerie coincidence where you'd described the composer Andy Monroe, and I'd mentioned that Andy Monroe's musical "...The Singing Nun" had come up in Facebook conversation just the day before; that was in a thread with Tomovoz.

The poems are nice.

I stopped at the supermarket just long enough to pick up a pound of elbow pasta. I had other pastas here, but I'm following BK's recipe to the letter. I've got the rest here (I always have Hellman's in the house), and I'm aiming for Thursday to make the tuna pasta salad. If that shouldn't happen for any reason, it will be Saturday.

Just attending to various and sundried things. I should probably go to the mail place to see if two important envelopes are there, but the day has turned wacky and I can't do banking in the morning because I'm doing a podcast about books for the new book - that's at ten. Then I'll go to the mail place, then do banking, then back for a Zoom with my set designer.

Just hopefully ordered my Richard and Me book through Kritzerland. I say “hopefully” because the process has some glitches. But I soldiered through.

KevinH, I like to use irony, ebony and poise.

I ushered tonight for a steampunk/occasionally silent movie version of The Magic Flute. The staging was originally from Berlin and rewrites the libretto to put the Queen of the Night in act 2.
-
Some of it worked, some of it was underwhelming.
-
It was the student preview, so the singers didn’t sing out.
-
Order came through fine.

Here’s a preview:

Finished with my viewing.

Mostly, I dozed off - maybe three hours overall.

Watching a George Segal film from 1975. Russian Roulette. Filmed in Vancouver, like lots of stuff, but here it’s actually supposed to be Vancouver.
-
Order came through fine.
Excellent!
-
I’ll be one step closer to my goal of seeing every George Segal film.
-
But first let me get us one step closer to page 6.
-
I found a 45 at a thrift shop the other day that has a couple Sherman Bros Disney songs sung by a relative of Donald Duck, but not his nephews or Scrooge McDuck.
-
I’ve mentioned this before but I am interested in Burt Bacharach’s early collaborations with a guy named Paul Hampton. They worked on a dead teenager type of song together.
-
Hampton went on to write some minor hits and act and write the theme to My Mother the Car, but the thing I’m looking for is his humorously titled LP, “Rest Home for Children.”
-
His biggest hit has to be “Sea of Heartbreak” for Don Gibson, written with Hal David. So he teamed with both Bacharach and David.
-
And he’s 88 years old.

Tonight at rehearsal, we ran a couple of numbers, then had a complete costume parade (of course, not a literal parade ;) ) where everyone tried on all their costumes that were there to see what worked or didn't, and what fit, and what didn't, and what was still needed.

Now, I need to ketchup on today's posts.
-
Seems wrong.
-
Seems off.
-
Still, mustn't scoff.
-
This below is one of those headlines that makes you think, "Really? You think that might have been a clue?"
"Keith Urban Getting 'His Own Place' Was a Turning Point in Nicole Kidman Split: 'Writing Was on the Wall' (Exclusive Source)"
:o

Or cough.
-
Or eat stroganoff.

That's about it of rhyming off.

I'm curious who "Everyone" is that said the new Jurassic Park was the best since the original. It only scored a 5.9 on IMDB.
It was far from the best IMHO ;D
Oh, my!
-
Site is up and down - just alerted the media.
-
Up and down.

Down and up.

Hiya, G! Toilets in place?
One is. The other will be installed later today.
I hope you are very pleased with them.
Thanks, Jane! I am...so far. ;D

Get me off this damn page.

No way to end a month.
-
No way to treat a lady.

We'll see how I feel about them in another 19 years. ;)

PAGE RUPERT/SEVEN DANCE!!

Right.

Left.

Laggy.

Can't have this until the notes are posted and the day is changed. CANNOT HAVE IT.

No way to treat a lady.
I really like that cast recording.

Speaking of TOMOVOZ.
Last night I was looking up something.
I remember many years ago I was sitting on a bench outside the theeder where the Children's Theeder Workshop was going on. An older lady was sitting on the bench across from me. We started talking. She said she had enjoyed The Crucible the opening show of the season.
She told me her name was Jean Nascimbene and she was married to a retired doctor. Her grand daughter was in the workshop. She them mentioned that her father had been an actor on Broadway. She was very casual about him.
She told me his name Paul Huber.
Very cool, Jrand.

Anyhoo, let's see if I can sneak an upload in while the system isn't looking!
This photo is one of those dated October 12, 2017 - my first ever visit to a cat at West 82nd Street:

Very sweet!

He couldn't take direction because he wasn't an actor, but I heard him give direction to actors doing a reading of an unfunny play he wrote. His idea of direction was simply giving them exact line readings. I kid you not.
Oh, my goodness! :o
-
Anyway, I would have zero problem with Tom coming back. He should never have left, IMO, and I'm pretty sure I told him that.
That would be so nice!
Ditto!
-
Listening to music.
-
And I don't care who knows it.
-
Interesting music.
-
I discuss it in the notes.
-
I really do.
-
Stuck on seven.
-
Isn't heaven.
-
Prefer eleven.
-
Soon.
-
I promise.
-
No eight in sight.
-
Not tonight.

I drove all the way to the arboretum this morning, only to find out they are closed on Tuesdays. That's new.
That's too bad. But a similar thing happened to me today. The Lucky Eagle Casino (and many others too, I'm sure) were giving out free prizes over the last four weeks of September: one prize each week that you could pick up on Sunday or Tuesday.
-
My mom went with me today and when I got there, I thought that I would wait until we were done playing (my mom gave me some money to play), then I would get my gift do that I wouldn't have to carry it around with me. So, around 3:45 (you could pick up the prizes each day between noon and 8:00 pm), I went to the desk where they had them AND THEY WERE OUT!! :o
-
Since this was the last day, there would be no more at all! :'( They did give eligible people $20 free play, but it's not the same as getting this week's gift, which was a pizza oven for your grill. :P
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
Oh, well. I did get the first three gifts: a Bluetooth speaker, a sleeping bag, and a 2-person tent.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
And we made page eight.
-
PAGE EIGHT DANCE!!

My friend Lynne Roblin, one of the costumers at the long-gone New York State Theatre Institute in Troy, NY, just posted a plug for the book on Facebook. These are her cats Bennie and Nellie.
