Well, you've read the notes, the notes were at 96% and had a blurb, and now it is time for you to post until the blurbed cows come home.

And the word of the day is: FRENETIC!

BK, my vote would be that the piano/conductor scores be listed individually. Those are the sorts of things where people probably just want a specific score, unless they're really inexpensive. Then, I'd say groupings, but definitely not one big lot. Just my 2¢.

That's a very nice blurb for the new book! Can't wait to read it!

I think that listing the new book on Indiegogo would be a good thing. Those who want the book will get the book regardless, so if it helps with the campaign, go for it.

I've looked at the prices on eBay and most of what I have vocal score-wise goes from forty for the easy stuff to seventy and eighty for the rarer titles. So, I'll put those up tomorrow, along with the book pre-order.

Just had another late-night contribution, but it was one of the ten-dollar no perk perks so nothing changed. But still, every little bit helps. I found vocal scores for Cabaret and Funny Thing and Do I Hear a Waltz. I had no idea I also had Street Scene and Lady in the Dark.

Cool. I have Forum, and I'm pretty sure that I have Waltz. I have most, if not all, of Sondheim's scores.

Good morning, friends.

Today's notes were jam-packed with tidbits.

I agree with DR George and his reasoning for the vocal scores and the new book vis-a-vis the campaign.

However, I do wonder... money given for the novel pre-order, wouldn't that cover the cost and shipping of the books? Therefore, wouldn't really be available money toward the Blu-Ray release?

Nice blurb!

Can't wait to see bk's "movie marathon classic" preview. It sounds classic!

singdaw · « **Reply #14 on:** March 24, 2021, 03:15:50 AM »

The imminent 2-CD release also sounds quite intriguing.

A French opera, in French.

I had a pretty good night of sleep. Stella's needy "pet me hold me" routine began a bit after 3:00, about the same time Annabelle crawled under the blankets. It got really chilly last night.

I had a strange dream about The Yearling, a film I don't believe I've ever seen or book I've never read. And now one of the songs from the musical version, "One Promise Come True," keeps running through my head!

I'm taking it easy again today. Tomorrow I need a run to my pharmacy for my eye drops and I think I may do laundry on Friday, depending on the state of the laundry room. I like our building super Jeff, but he's no Val, and he lets the trash pile up before he removes it and it's a major nuisance negotiating the trip to the washers on a walker.

BK, let me recommend a few ballet DVDs I think you might like. The first DVD is taken from a series of NYC Ballet performances in Paris, and it includes Balanchine's great macabre ballet about Death and the Maiden, La Valse, to Ravel's "Valses nobles et sentimentales" and "La Valse." The older videos on YouTube are shaky and out of focus.

I'm also a big Frederick Ashton fan, and I think you might like these two, Messager's love story, The Two Pigeons, and his very funny La Fille Mal Gardée, about an old mother's attempts to keep her virginal daughter away from the man she loves to marry the rich landowner's moronic son.

Four years ago today DR JohnG came to Manhattan to see The New Yorkers at Encores! We had lunch at the Brooklyn Diner.

Sad to hear about George Segal's death, but what a long and rewarding life he had. I met him at the Drama Book Shop in the late 1980s or ealy 1990s, and he was very kind. I think he liked the fact that I rold him I loved his recording. I really did!
