Yes DR ELMORE....as promised in the post before it....

[FJL]

This may be old news, but just in case - here's Joel Grey's tongue-in-cheek response to the funny Leslie Odom jr. story about Mr. Grey at HAMILTON:

I saw Hamilton - brilliant story telling - but I didn't care about anyone.   

As I mentioned yesterday, I am moving again.  (I did move in April of this year) - but basically, the last 7 months or so have been difficult.  My current apartment is about 20 miles away from work, family and basically everything I need/want on a daily basis - and the traffic at rush hour is not in my favor - EVER.  The time in the car, while still trying to not think it was a big deal, is/was in fact a BIG deal.  So much as my blood pressure went up and my patience with people has gotten shorter and shorter.  Drivers are just idiots in traffic - I do believe that it's in their muscle memory to drive slower during a commute time even though there are no other cars on the road.   

So, I made a decision to move back to where I moved away from in April  Yes, rent is more $$ and the apartment is smaller, but I'm saving on tolls, gas and most of all.... it'll be better for my metal and physical well being.  So, it's my choice to move this time.  Thank goodness for the new job this year at school, that's all I have to say about that.

Tomorrow is the day.... and I can't wait to be back over on the Peninsula.  The sad part is that I really LOVE the area I'm moving from - I just wish I could live/work in the area, but that won't happen any time soon.  I'm hoping to be back to my beloved East Bay at some point in my life - it is a calm place to be - just in the wrong place at the moment.

Sounds like a good choice DR MATTHEW.

LOL DR FJL....very funny lyrics.

Good luck with the move, Matthew! One of my best friends is thinking of relocating to the San Francisco area. If he does, I'll make the introductions.

So, no word from Harbinger Records or the Musical Theater Project.

Yesterday, Amazon shipped the new Harbinger recording JOHN KANDER: HIDDEN TREASURES, 1950-2015.

Track 20 of CD 2 is my orchestration for "The Skin of Our Teeth" from Brent Barrett's Kander & Ebb album, arranged by Christopher Denny and produced by Bruce Kimmel. I've been looking through the recording booklet several times now, and I see no acknowledgement for Chris, Bruce, or myself.

Bruce and I have both left messages on the Harbinger and Musical Theater Project Facebook pages.

I don't know if I should be flattered or pissed!

[FJL]

Thanks, Jrand!



I think people don't parody the songs from "Star" enough.  Maybe next I'll try the theme from "Darling Lili" or "The Tamarind Seed."

Is it the actual track from the album or just the orchestration?  Did any other arrangers/orchestrators, etc receive credit?

[John G.]

Best of luck with the move, Matthew.

[John G.]

Both, Elmore. I know there's no money in such a specialized recording, but it is both an honor to included and a disservice in appropriating your work without credit.

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - rather than the good night's sleep I was hoping for, I slept hardly at all - overall maybe I got six or seven hours.

[bk]

Oh, yeah, part three of the miracle.

[bk]

In regards to the Brent track, he gave them permission to use it and also provided ALL the credit information, which they then chose not to use.  That is insulting and amateurish.  The person who runs the Harbinger Facebook page asked for my e-mail and number and told me someone would get back to me - so far they haven't.

[bk]

If they don't, I will make it part of tomorrow's notes.

It's the actual track, and as far as I know, it's the only orchestration on the 2nd CD.

Awakenings
Raging Bull

Sorry, "oh, yeah" what?

[Jrand74]

Interesting.....what about that re-issue of the CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG soundtrack on the other label that was posted here the other day.....what's up with that?

[bk]

They licensed and reissued exactly what we put out, but I believe they credited me and Kritzerland.

[bk]

I heard from Harbinger - they apologized profusely, said it was an oversight, and said it will be fixed when they re-press the disc, which apparently they are going to.

[bk]

Haven't heard from anybody today about the possibility of miracle part three happening, so maybe tomorrow.

[ChasSmith]

Listened to SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING and it's one beautiful disc.

[ChasSmith]

Best of moving and apartment re-settling vibes for DR Matthew!

[elmore3003]

Now, here's a US Postal quandary: why does it take longer for a check mailed i notn Manhattan to get to me in the same city than to Joshie in Queens or Peter in Nyack?  They are happy and I'm not:  still waiting.

Perhaps it will be in tomorrow's post?

[George]

And ~ ~ ~ DON'T GET SICK VIBES ~ ~ ~ for all!!!

Ditto!

~~~Ditto, Two!!~~~

Miracles vibes for BK.
