Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not me, and now it is time for you to post until the not cows cows come home.

And the word of the day is: METTLE!

Only about twelve pages of the play left, but I'm saving them for tomorrow when I arise.

Right now, I'm I bailed on the Michael Nyman opera, which has immediately gone on the trade pile along with that lousy Manon Lescaut CD. I'm listening to the Hilary Hahn five-CD set right now. Disc one is solo violin stuff, so I'll do that one last. Disc two, which is what I'm listening to, is the Beethoven violin concerto, and as cool as I am on Ludwig Van, this performance is superb - her tone is so subtle and sweet, and I'm even enjoying the music, just as I enjoy the Beethoven seventh symphony. David Zinman is the conductor on this disc - the other piece is Leonard Bernstein's Serenade. Disc three, which follows, is the Samuel Barber and then some composer I never heard of, Edgar Meyer - Hugo Wolff is the conductor on that one.

I have that recording of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. I first heard it in and have had it since I was in college, back in the 1980s. I enjoyed it, but I didn't (and certainly still don't) know what to listen for on the technical side of recordings.

And now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Horrible night of sleep. It was too cool for the AC and too warm to sleep, I drove Annabelle and Thatch crazy as I shifted, tuirned, sat up, lay down, and sometime after midnight I finally drifted off. Ay 5:26 this morning I decided to turn off the alarm and get up when I felt like it. An hour later, even though I didn't feel like it, I got up. I knew the cats were hungry. I'll sleep once I finish kitty cleanup.

DR Jrand71, I hope your big event goes well today.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 04, 2021, 04:27:02 AM »

BK, if you want a ME day, I think you should simply keep your calandar open and schedule no meetings and no rehearsals.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 04, 2021, 04:27:55 AM »

Isn't Michael Nyman the annoying composer of all the Peter Greenaway films?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 04, 2021, 04:28:36 AM »

I have no plans today. What else is new?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 04, 2021, 04:36:47 AM »

I must give some serious thought to the serious topic of the day. I can think off the bat of these people, but it will be painful to write about some of them:
Roses Mull, fifth grade teacher
Jean Canter, my mother's sister
Valda Wilkerson and Helen Weinberger, junior high and high school music teachers
Helen Ball, librarian
Jim Martin, conductor
Stephen Sondheim, household name
Bill Tynes, producer
John Mcglinn, friend and foe
Bruce Kimmel, needs no introduction

Did I post this already? I can't remember...

But, once you're up, there is NO privacy.

It's a damp day of rain and the humidity in the apartment must be somewhere around 1000. I turned on the AC and now it is cold and extremely humid. I'm lying down for a while and going nowhere.

It just happens that I'M going for a ME day today, coming off of a busy weekend and having two and a half (count 'em!) days of grace before the next rehearsal on Wednesday.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** October 04, 2021, 06:21:40 AM »

Yesterday was pretty wonderful, seeing one of the great films the way it should be seen, and being able to greet one Mr. RAH for the first time in over a year and a half. Most gratifying.

Following that, a long drive to an audition of someone who had just contracted bronchitis a couple of days ago, so even though he was in relatively good shape and feeling spry being pumped up on antibiotics, we had to say come back in a few days and let's hear more actual, you know, singing.

Prep and good procedure vibes for DR Jrand71.
