I keep writing The Invention of Sound - the name of the movie is actually The History of Sound.

I liked it.....

Rehearsal vibes for MR BK & Co.

[Freddie]

just learned that my friend, lighting designer Alan Blacher, died on Thursday from Parkinson's Disease. I'd known Alan for 46 years; he was the husband of my friend Peter Clem, with whom I'd done summer theatre in 1971. Alan worked as a lighting designer for All My Children for years. They retired and left Manhattan around 10 years ago, and when we said goodbye, I couldn't believe how badly the disease had hit Alan. Ths photo is from 2023. Alan is on the right.

Millstone congratulations, DR Jrand!

We had a family phrase meant to keep us in line at supper: “Sing at the table, cry in your sleep.”

Seems a bit harsh now.

Is that a similar concept to "Don't cry out loud, just keep it inside, and learn how to hide your feelings"

Yes, except just at the table. Crying aloud elsewhere was sanctioned, though not celebrated.

Recalling calmer, easier times - and celebrating the birthday week of "Carolina in the Morning" writer Gus Kahn -

From 2012 - "Nothing Makes me Gladder Than To Be an All-That-Chatter in the Morning"

I am writing a new hymn verse for the DH's choir to sing on Christmas Eve.

Nice.

Sorry for your loss, Elmore.

Made a wholly different type of grape pie. It’s like a vanilla pudding with grapes. The filling is good.

I actually don’t understand the business model. People either want physical media because they like that and want the info and printed content that comes with it, or they want to stream it, which anyone with a streaming service can do. Content producers can somewhat easily upload to a streaming service themselves. Does this “label” then take a share of the meager streaming royalties? Maybe ok if they’re providing promotional efforts. But do they even make the liner notes downloadable? There’s much I may be missing.

 BK will (hopefully) weigh in on this!


But aren't (very roughly) 95% of all newly-recorded show CDs these days about generating interest in the show rather than about CD sales? 

If at a networking event, it feels much more legitimate to hand someone a copy of your show's CD rather than a booklet or calling card with a link.

I will say on Spotify, my streaming service of choice, there is a photo of a child on a horse. Perhaps a young Larry?
