Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a touch of drama but not any chaos, and now it is time for you to post until the chaotic cows come home.

My favorite Marvin Hamlisch scores are A Chorus Line (LOVE IT) and They're Playing Our Song...which I've never seen. I only know it from the recordings.

We just recently watched some BBC adaptations of three of his works, The Barchester Chronicles, The Way We Live Now (with the amazing David Souchet) and He Knew He Was Right. Now I would like to read the books.

Good news from DR VIXMOM (Carnegie Hall) and scary news as well (car).

DR VIXMOM - I love my PT Cruiser, although of course they are now discontinued. If you find a good deal on one 2006-2008, you might consider it.

TOD:

I second DR GEORGE's choices for stage:

A CHORUS LINE
THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG

For film, I differ:

Ice Castles followed closely by The Way We Were

And of course his brief appearance in VALLEY OF THE DOLLS as Neely O'Hara's rehearsal pianist.

TOD: A CHORUS LINE, SMILE (at least what I've heard of it so far)

Good morning, all! I have a day of events which begins soon with a trip to the post office to mail the Steven LaBrie audition tape to our producer. I will then work on scores for THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER at Toyland until it's time for my tax appointment. After that, it's back to Toyland for meetings on status of all works in progress. A long day indeed. The only good thing is that my tax accountant's office is next door to Toyland. When the office manager found the new office space in 2007, I told my colleagues that I knew the building since my accountant's offcie was there. I had no idea we would end up directly next door to him.

Time to head out.

I am mailing my check to the Indiana Dept of Revenue for my 2009 taxes......a painful thing to do, but I must.

Thanks to DR JMK for the Faith Report yesterday.

I had never heard the disco A SUMMER PLACE before - it is now on my Top Ten list.

MR BK have you made a final decision about coming to Indiana in April?

Off to work. Oh well.

I do not like drama and chaos. I like things to be nice and boring.

TOD:

Screen:
THE STING (though he didn't compose the music I think he effectively used it.)
BANANAS
TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN

Stage:
A CHORUS LINE
THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG

I could never really warm up to SMILE. I have to try that one aout again someday...

It's been flurrying here in Philly for the past hour or so but so far it's not sticking and just making everything wet. For this they closed all the schools...

I am pack up the last of my stuff up here in my office to take home today in case I don't make it in tomorrow. *Sigh*...I'm going to miss having an office with a window and a nice view...

Thanks. I think "He Knew He Was Right" is my favorite out of the 50 I've read and I saw the TV version first. The book somehow portrays the madness even darker than the movie, but without all the psychological terminology or "insight" that would be available post-Freud.

Wow! I just read DR Vixmom's post about the Vixter making her debut at Carnegie Hall! Very cool!

The first issue of San Antonio Taste magazine rolls off the press in less than an hour. I'm quite nervous. Hope it looks even better in print as it did in proofs.

TOD: "They're Playing Our Song," which still works on stage (though it was never a mental blockbuster, it worked largely because of the music) and, as DR Kerry put it, "Smile," what I've heard so far.

As for the movies, I liked his work on "Pennies from Heaven" even more than what he did for "The Sting." And I'm a sappy sentimentalist, I'm sure, but I liked the music for "The Way We Were."

I watched the Danny Thomas version of THE JAZZ SINGER last night from the Warner Archive Collection.

I love the songs, particularly Sammy Fain's "Living the Life," but the screenwriters of this remake really stripped the film of any real drama. The climatic moment, where Thomas has to choose between going on stage opening night or going to his ailing father, fell flat.

The color transfer is not great, but okay.

Anthony is getting his taxes done today also, after an audition. He has his taxes done by the VITA volunteers at Equity.

Thursday morning greetings! Another quiet day for me, which is good because the first 3 weeks in March might be pretty exhausting. Next week, Richard and I have some excursions planned that I will describe as they unfold. Then the weeks of March 8 and 15, I'm "on call" for jury duty, which means I might have to go to Hamilton, OH, and I might not. But I have to keep my calendar clear, just in case.

DR Jose i just read your comment re: the olympics and the dutch skater being DQed in the 10 000. No i did not see his pre-race interview. Why? I did however, yesterday, see a post race interview with both the skater and the coach, which was interesting.

The skater said that he would continue with the coach since they had been together for so long and had so much success.

The coach took full blame. But the interesting part to me was that he said that normally at any race he is allowed to have another person there to write down the lanes. But they are strict at the olympics and he had to do that himself and made the error. I wonder why they would allow this in other races (i'm assuming he meant that) but not at the olympics when it could be extra beneficial.
