Well, you've read the notes, the notes had something different, and now it is time for you to post until the something different cows come home.

Topic of the Day: In the Heights on HBO Max. I'll actually be able to watch/listen to it at work today.

Good morning, friends.

I noticed the "something different." It looks great!

I found bk's comments about the economics of big box sets most interesting.

The laundry is in the washers, and I will be happy when it's finished.

I only own 3 of what I would call really big box sets: Bach 333 (223 discs), Beethoven 2020 (123 discs), and Mozart 225 (200 discs). I love them all to pieces.

Funny thing BK, I saw your new picture in the notes ,and wanted to compare it to the old one so went to the archives and looked at yesterday’s column. When I clicked on June 11th in the archives to go back to today’s colum there was your old picture again!

But when I closed out the site and then rejoined the new picture was back

I don’t understand how that could happen..weird

I don’t want to work today.

But I will.

I love this ballet, and I wish it were all here. Union Jack remains one of Hershy Kay's unrecorded ballet scores, along with his strange score for The Clowns. Cakewalk and Stars and Stripes have had several recordings, and I be;oeve Who Cares? and Western Symphony have only been recorded once.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 11, 2021, 05:32:44 AM »

I think I saw Union Jack on a City Ballet all-Balanchine night years ago.

The laundry is in the dryers. I need to make the bed.

singdaw · « **Reply #23 on:** June 11, 2021, 05:45:29 AM »

I need to go back and read bk's comments about Jewels. In the online reviews that I've read, it appears there may be a problem with blurriness when the dancers move. Or is that just a sub-par playing device?

John G. · « **Reply #24 on:** June 11, 2021, 06:18:40 AM »

I made a mistake and bought a ticket for last night’s showing. Oy. I need a vacation…

What a pleasure to have left the windows open last night and to wake up to a beautiful sunny but FRESH morning. This one reminded me of a lot of California mornings. Oy!

I did the same thing, and that's exactly what happened.

I was just looking at today's Memories on Facebook, and I see that five years ago today I had posted a question about Hamilton that I have been wondering about In the Heights: Does CBS have money in the show? They're giving it the very same - to me - iverblown blitz of praise and clips that they did for Hamilton. Personally, I would love to see In the Heights, but I;m not trudging on a walker to the nearest movie theatre.

That Hershy Kay is wonderful, and of course we must have more.

What would the source for the video have been? Alas, being one of "those guys", I must note that the image is stretched from what would have been 1.37 to what looks like 1.66, so you have everyone looking a little widened out. It's not nearly as horrendous as what happens on some people's widescreen TVs, but you can't get it by me. I sniff that kind of thing out faster than anyone I know.
