NP: OUaTiA-Cockeye's Theme

[This message has been edited by dantoris (edited 12 April 2000).]

Josh Hamilton, sometimes big-screen actor -- see ALIVE -- was in the same group, and I actually did an acting scene with him once. He kept feeding me completely different lines just to throw me off, and often as not they were real howlers -- fortunately this was a small play done for a class, not a real one for an audience.

NP: Prokofiev (Concerto for Piano and Orchestra no. 2)

Oh Thats enough of, just wait till you get a load of me!

And I wondered who this "Lonely Guy" might have been at FSM...
Welcome again, Jim! Good to have you around.

NP: Eine Alpensinfonie (Richard Strauss; Berliner Philharmoniker/Karajan; fantastic)

For those of you out there who have no scanners...if you have a KINKO'S Copy Center nearby, they just lowered their scanning price! You can have a photo scanned onto a floppy disc for $4.95!!! WHAT A DEAL!

NP:KHARTOUM:Frank Cordell/LP/******/******

Now this is again one of those remarkable FSM-telepathy coincidences, for here I am on a beautiful Saturday afternoon playing a little catch-up at work and what is NP? HOOSIERS, a J.C. speciality. Mr. Cleveland, haven't spoken to you since our journey into the wilds of NYC and Canada. Now I don't read profiles nor view member photos, so forgive me Mr. C but I must ask my friend Bloom, "Hey Leo--does his picture come close to David Schwimmer?"

Later tonight I will figure out the scanner. (Or fail to, but I will at least try. Hey Hatfield, send me a snapshot. Although I have not even located the Good one of myself. Well, it can't have gone far.)

And no, the redness in my face is not because I've been drinking, but because I came directly in from the wintery cold to shoot it [yeah, right! ]...

NP: space heater at my feet again (this has been the WEIRDEST April) (this won't do, need some tunes to browse the messages, as I have not in roughly a day ... well, THE OMEGA MAN came in, so let's give it a try)

Well, I'm 26 and a youngster. Is that a compliment or an insult?

I hope my respect didn't drop like the microsoft stocks after I put that picture up...

NP (after adjusting my Beltone): Levant doing his buddy's Concerto in F

And surely you're old enough to remember when Oscar used to hang out with Arnold Schoenberg. Schoenberg was such a self-important stuffed-shirt egomaniac. Oscar characterized their conversations as "exchanging his ideas with him".

NP: The War Lord *****/*****

Ah yes, Oscar was most certainly one of those characters a/k/a societal misfits of the interior. Really lost it there, like Capote. But he was a brilliant self-educated raconteur (att: H Rocco) whose presence at any gathering proved irresistable. Oh, and not a bad little pianist, either. The watch he's wearing at the end of Rhapsody In Blue was a cherished gift from George Gershwin. Old 'Osc carried George's presence for the rest of his life.

All this Oscar Levant talk reminded me of a TV show from the 60's. I can't remember the title of it, but it was a game show with a large panel of celebrity guests. I can recall that Basil Rathbone and Oscar Levant were frequent guests on the show. Does anybody remember this?
