The files we were going from weren't even four gigs. Had this been four gigs, it would have taken about five minutes.

Thirteen minutes left.

I get in my aerobics by eye-rolling.

You sound like me.

And has J.B. given you approval?

No. But he was outvoted.

One minute left.

bk · « **Reply #157 on:** June 03, 2025, 09:45:44 PM »

Done, have the link, so PM or email.

bk · « **Reply #158 on:** June 03, 2025, 09:50:45 PM »

Don't see any PMs.

bk · « **Reply #159 on:** June 03, 2025, 09:51:00 PM »

In fact, I'm the only person here.

Watching Kiss Me, Kate - just not a fan of Mr. Bartlett Sher. It's relentless, there must be a thousand light cues, and the leading man is fine as an actor but NOT as a singer. Stephanie Block is trying to hard. The revival with Marin Mazzie and Brian "Stokes" Mitchell was better directed - Michael Blakemore - IMO.

I got to see Marin Mazzie and Brent Barrett (the World's Sexiest Man Alive) in London. It was fantastic, of course.

George · « **Reply #161 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:39:04 PM »

What was really great is I that I got to meet Ms. Mazzie after the show and get her autograph, as well as the autographs of several others!

George · « **Reply #162 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:40:04 PM »

Here's Marin's picture (that I took myself!) and her autograph:

I'm sure that I've posted these before, but too bad.

Here's Brent's headshot from the program:

George · « **Reply #165 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:42:24 PM »

And here's his bio (but no autograph

):

George · « **Reply #166 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:43:34 PM »

In the next to last paragraph, he mentions his (then) upcoming new solo CD on the former label that shall not be mentioned.

George · « **Reply #167 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:44:57 PM »

And here's Michael Berresse's autograph and picture:

Here's Nancy Anderson:

No one's interested in Drat! so no link will be provided to those who are not interested.

Meanwhile, I keep hearing the word substack. Sounds to me like "substack" after looking it up, is basically what this here site has been doing for, I don't know, almost twenty-five YEARS?

I'm interested! I'll send a PM. I was eating dinner and now I've been posting Kiss Me, Kate! remembrances.

bk · « **Reply #172 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:49:59 PM »

I'll write some damn notes soon.

bk · « **Reply #173 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:52:21 PM »

Finished Kiss Me, Kate. Seems to me like stuff was added, especially a bit about The Taming of the Shrew being problematic. Awful. And I don't know if the Too Darn Hot arrangement was created for this production or the Scott Ellis one with Kelli, but I should think they heard our recording of it with Liz Larsen. They don't do the other musical quotes we do, but c'mon.

George · « **Reply #174 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:53:22 PM »

PM sent, BK.

George · « **Reply #175 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:55:11 PM »

And the final London Kiss Me, Kate! autograph that I go (sadly, no picture) was from Nicolas Colicos. I have several London recordings that he's on and recognized him

George · « **Reply #176 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:56:01 PM »

I also recognized Teddy Kempner, but he didn't stop to chat. He just walled out of the theater and went on his way. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #177 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:56:50 PM »

Brent Barrett never came out at the stage door. He had guests that night, so he was busy with them.

George · « **Reply #178 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:57:21 PM »

But I got to see him perform live.

bk · « **Reply #179 on:** June 03, 2025, 10:59:35 PM »

Our CD, Shakespeare on Broadway was released in 1996. The revival George saw opened in 1999. I don't think there's any doubt they heard our arrangement. And the bass opening is even slower like ours in this Bartlett Sher thing.
