Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and now it is time for you to post until the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed cows come home.

It took about 30 minutes to go through the bags and find the ones going into the refrigerator or freezer, and I put those items away. Everything else sits on the floor awaiting my attention. Annabelle, Thatch, and Stella romped as I roamed through the bags.

What I hate about the Joy Machine release: no information beyond the song titles; the booklet assembled in 2024 for a possible release included photos of my grandmother's Appalachian farm and family, notes on who sings what and who wrote what. Our producer made this decision to go with Joy Machine but if I knew anything beyond "they're a new company," or4 that there was no CD release, I would have fought against going with them.

Much as I am quite proud of my work on the show Moonshine & Mistletoe, the recording has een a pain my my butt since Day One of the recording in April 2017. I had urged our producer then to hire BK to produce and release the recording, but he went with the lady who produces those annual Broadway shows sing carols recordings. Nice lady, but . . .

The sessions were not pleasant. Our egineer thought we were doing a bona fide bluegrass alpbum, and badmouthed loudly every one of my arrangements; the producer never told him to STFU. I hated every moment I was there. I wanted to say to him, if you pulled this on a Sondheim show, your little arrogant ass would be out of here so fast.

The producer sat on the recording for years, giving other matters a priority, and then we were suddenlt on for a 2024 release that curiously never happened, and now it's out, and I can finally comment on what hell it's been for the past 8.5 years between recording and release. I am proud of the band, the cast, and my work. I think it's a good show, and I hope it leads to performances.

My mother's two most often quotes were these:

        She never followed this advice; we grew up dirt poor.

The Moonshine and Mistletoe thing was very frustrating. I did not begin last year, it began in 2022. I said I'd do it. Then people said oh but we have to edit this and we have to edit that and who should write the liner notes and on and on. I have no emails from 2023 at all. Last year, they finally got me everything we needed, but too late to get it out by Christmas. I put it all in the works a few weeks ago so we could get it out in time. No one wrote me, no one said boo about another label and let me tell you had this actually gone to booklet print and pressing CDs - well...

As I said, I'm glad it's out. If the sell some copies good on them. It was never going to be a big seller for us or a medium seller either. I would have been lucky to get the print and pressing money back. Believe me, I've been doing this for thirty-two years now, I know how it works. I did that thing called Love Quirks because they were so persistent - they paid for everything but the print and pressing. Well, how many do you suppose we've sold because I can tell you it's under thirty copies, may be under twenty. They promised lots of productions and to purchase lots of CDs at the artist's rate. They bought one box of fifty, I think. We're still very much in the hole for it.

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.

"Love Quirks" was IIRC one of the last CDs our LLC got involved with, just as Covid closings were hitting, in March 2020.   

Too bad that CD sales weren't better; of course, I assume had their London production moved to the West End, it would have generated a lot more CD sales.

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.

Then people said oh but we have to edit this and we have to edit that and who should write the liner notes and on and on. I have no emails from 2023 at all. Last year, they finally got me everything we needed, but too late to get it out by Christmas. I put it all in the works a few weeks ago so we could get it out in time. No one wrote me, no one said boo about another label and let me tell you had this actually gone to booklet print and pressing CDs - well...

As I said, I'm glad it's out. If the sell some copies good on them. It was never going to be a big seller for us or a medium seller either. I would have been lucky to get the print and pressing money back. Believe me, I've been doing this for thirty-two years now, I know how it works. I did that thing called Love Quirks because they were so persistent - they paid for everything but the print and pressing. Well, how many do you suppose we've sold because I can tell you it's under thirty copies, may be under twenty. They promised lots of productions and to purchase lots of CDs at the artist's rate. They bought one box of fifty, I think. We're still very much in the hole for it.

That's really too bad.  As Sondheim wrote, "So many possibilities." :-\

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.

My mother had an expression that I loved, and still say today though only quietly in my head.  If we left the chair pulled away from the table she said "You left the devil sitting in your chair".

To see chairs left out is one of my pet peeves.  It really is rude, left out people either have to maneuver around the chair, and someone else eventually has to push it back in.

They must be sending out mp3s rather than CDs to try and drum up interest. Well, good luck. The entire POINT of doing the CD was to have a physical thing to send to people.

Pie and Pill Three - that's the title of my next novel, a tale of intrigue in a dystopian future, where the president is a former TV host and failed businessman who's in his fifth term. The military patrol the streets and US citizens are arrested regularly if they look askance and sent to live out their lives in a detention center built in the middle of Pomona. It's a chilling novel of a world run amok and awry - but it couldn't happen - could it?
