Well, you've read the notes, the notes had time on its hands, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - time waits for no cows, too.

We may watch something after dinner. It depends on how tired we are.

Ben · « **Reply #6 on:** December 03, 2010, 04:19:51 AM »

I guess there are more of us (folks who can't get through Fantasia) than I thought.

Ben · « **Reply #7 on:** December 03, 2010, 04:21:18 AM »

Oatmeal, pecans, raisins, cinnamon and coffee.

Bowl, spoon and coffee mug are washed and placed back in their respective drawers/cupboards.

I must clean up and ready myself to be at Equity at 9:30.

I won't be around again until after 3pm (or later).

Play nice you people.

Good morning, Ben. Have a great day!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 03, 2010, 04:57:28 AM »

I always fall asleep while watching Fantasia.

And, sorry MR BK - I don't like the Gershwin segment. I guess I expected somehow that the images would tie visually into the music, rather than just images IN TIME to the music.

DR JANE - the advice given was, since you are partners in show business - don't let your wives become friends and start socializing together - then you can never get away from each other - and when the inevitable friction starts, it will affect the working relationship.....or something close to that....

Steel-cut oatmeal with milk, apples, pecans, cinnamon, and a touch of brown sugar.

BK,

Where did you get (or should I ask) WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS?

Druxy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 03, 2010, 05:19:38 AM »

TOD:

No new DVDs in hand to watch, but I am expecting a few. Just don't know if they will be here this weekend.

Druxy · « **Reply #16 on:** December 03, 2010, 05:21:46 AM »

BK,

I am not a big fan of FANTASIA either.

I think it was a glorious experiment in animation for its time, but I've never found it to be that entertaining.

Good morning, al! I've been dowloading Christmas recordings this morning: The Andrews Sisters, Julie Andrews, Harry Belafonte, and Perry Como. I'm also pondering my gift list and wondering, who is Trader Joe's and why did I get this flyer?

Yesterday was a good day, what with all the running about, and some air was cleared about a few projects and my concerns, which was all for the best. It put me into a much better mood and that's good for everyone's health.

Today is another edit day at Toyland, and I'm looking forward to it. On the way I have a post office stop.

I also have a bit of work on an orchestration for "Being Alive" for Liz Callaway and, when I'm back from Toyand, I need to drag out the Jerome Moross score I have to see what's next on the schedule.

TOD:
DVD: the three Netflix items from October sit here and I have no idea what they may be at this point! I've also got the LA Opera video of the wonderful Braunfels opera DIE VOGEL, and a coule of others
CD: my friend Joe Cassidy's Christmas album, Julie Andrews, Harry Belafonte, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway
VCR: Oy!

Re FANTASIA: I think the "Dance of the Hours" is very funny, but for the most part it's a curious bit of mathematics; Classical music + Classic Disney = Classic Kitsch, and I'm also not crazy about it, although I much prefer it to FANTASIA 2000, which I think visually lacks the beauty of the first and I still don't undestand those damned flying whales! Or, for that matter, Bruce Coughlin's awful, inflated orchestration of a wonderful original chamber piece by Saint-Saens.

DR ELMORE - I love the Giselle McKenzie Christmas album.....she sings in English and French....

And now I am off to work! Oh well.

Spats is running all over the place. I guess it's safe to say he is feeling better.

Morning, all.

Add me to the list of non-"Fantasia" fans. When I was a kid and they would trot out the Disney classics every few years to play on the big screen, that movie was used as a supposed introduction for many to the world of classical music. In my mind, it turned off many a kid to the beauties of the music.

John G. · « **Reply #23 on:** December 03, 2010, 06:21:43 AM »

TOD:

It's Patti Smith time for me. I'm finishing her book, "Just Kids," and I have a copy of the documentary, "Dream of Life," in which she covers some similar ground from a different angle.

CD: Christmas music, including Bobby Darin, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbara Cook and "A Cabaret Christmas."

Car CD: "The Shallows," a book about how the Internet is changing our brains.

MP3: More Christmas.

Good morning, Kerry. The mountains sure are pretty.

There's an echo in here.

From the standpoint of entertainment, I think that Disney was more successful with his MELODY TIME and MAKE MINE MUSIC.

PETER AND THE WOLF and some of those other short films within the features are minor Disney classics.

I recall that, after seeing WILLIE, THE OPERA SINGING WHALE (I forget which film it was in), I was in tears for days because Willie was killed.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #28 on:** December 03, 2010, 06:49:31 AM »

I don't mind FANTASIA. In fact, I do like watching most of it as long as it's in bite-sized segments. Like DR JRand, I fall asleep when I watch it as a whole. As far as FANTASIA 2000 is concerned, I only care for the Donald Duck segment.

I'm pretty sure that both films were among the first DVDs that I ever owned.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #29 on:** December 03, 2010, 06:55:52 AM »

I wonder if it's the "sonics" of the FANTASIA score (as played by The Philadelphia Orchestra) that make it so sleep-inducing?
