And the word of the day is: WAKA!

Here is a waka:

I went on a walk
On the walk I saw a hen
The hen spoke no word
Nor did I dare speak a word
And so, not one word was heard.

Topic of the Day: Little Shop of Horrors (of course), and Bucket of Blood. Ten years ago (has it really been ten years??) Theater Artists Olympia adapted their own stage version of BoB and it was really good, if I do say so myself, and I do.

I expect some other waka attempts.

One simply cannot have enough wakas. Or is it wakae?

I'm on disc five of the Orpheus set, following the baroque of Vivaldi and Boccherini. Disc five is all Copland and is one of the best albums ever - first time hearing any of these performances and they are magnificent - but it's also the recording itself - so far, this entire set is brilliantly produced and engineered. Interestingly, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra has no conductor, which makes these performances even more amazing. First off, the Appalachian Spring in its original version is stunning, best version I've ever heard and I can say the same about the third symphony. But it's all glorious.

Une autre waka.

I once had a fish
And I kept it in a bowl
The fish had one wish
To be star up in the sky
But the fish did not know why

Here is a waka:

Haines His Way is a
Family of friendly folk.
We laugh, sing, and dance.
An oasis of calming
From the world's ignominy.

I hate getting out of a warm bed on chilly morning, so I slept in 45 minutes and got out ofr bed around 6:30, once the apartment heat came on and the room was warmer.

DR George, I think I may have an orchestration on that 42nd Street recording, unless Mr Yap redid it with someone else. It was an appendix number, and I did that ages ago,

BK, you might know the answer to this: if I wanted to make a complete recording of a show and needed to apply for grand rights, how much would that cost?

Last night we watched Belfast, which I liked very much, and I may rewatch it tonight. It's Kenneth Branagh's autobiographical film, set in 1959, during the Protestant-Catholic civil war in Ireland. Branagh's counterpart is 9-year old Buddy, and for the most part the film is seen through his eyes, so we get news of the conflict and stress in fragmented bits on TV and overhearing others as he spends time with his grandparents - Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds, who are wonderful - endures school, and hangs out at the movies.

I need to watch it again, just to figure out who's who in the family, friends, and thugs promoting the violence. The actors playing Buddy's parents are quite good. His father is workingh in London and returns to Belfast only on weekends, and his mother has to cope with a shitload of stress: taxes, housekeeping, and keeping her children safe from the violence. I have no idea how to spell or pronounce her name, but she's excellent. The father has to deal with the problems of being away all week and having to deal with the pressure of jopining the Protestant thugs who want to stomp Catholic butts.

My only caveat is that a few of the movie clip we see on Buddy's moviegoing are not from 1959-60, but High Noon becomes rather important to the main storyline. I would love to see Belfast on a huge screen in a dark theater, but I'm so happy to have the DVDS.

Joshie is coming by this afternoon to drop off some papers I need for budgeting these possible recordings. I look forward to seeing him.

Horrible night’s sleep. The thunder started around midnight and it sounded like hail in addition to some heavy rain.

John G. · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2022, 05:56:05 AM »

I haven’t investigated yet.

Thinking of traveling?

In my sleep last night
I dreamed of several things.
None of them came true.
Still, I am haunted by them
As if they were very real.

When you get older
Loss becomes part of your life.
You never expect it.
But you know it is coming,
And nothing can stop the hurt.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #28 on:** March 22, 2022, 07:09:43 AM »

And on that cheerful note...
