Rob & Laura as Jackie & Roy! TOTAL Suburbia, YES! John Rich on directing the opening trip/not trip...it was a throwaway, really, but there was durability awaiting!

However.. Midway through Season 1 the did this: Which in turn was an audio redo of this: That's the original on, and it's so..."show biz", nothing like the suburbia that was at the core of the premise of the Petries. Rob might have worked in the city, but the burbs was where home was.

Is it any coincidence that Amazon is called what it is?

Never knew what to make of The Blues Roar...seems like it was more "Maynard with expanded studio band" than "Maynard's band" Either way, it came between Color Him Wild & The Maynard Ferguson Sextet album on Mainstream, which announced that the big band had been disbanded in November of 1964, so...who knows? There were several "in-between" records by Maynard with studio bands until he landed in London and got a for-real band going again.

Cads/Dodgers 1959 - Jack Brickhouse calls, Roger Craig pitches, Stan Musical plays first, Pee Wee Reese coaches third (and maybe has a player run through his hold signal), Don Zimmer gets tossed in the 2nd, the list goes on...

If you really like the Roulette band's evolution (and I do!), you might consider following it through to conclusion via the Cameo/Mainstream albums. http://www.amazon.com/Sounds-Maynard-Ferguson-Come-Complete-Recordings/dp/B006GVNILK http://www.amazon.com/Dues-Maynard-Ferguson/dp/B000008AWK I might even rate the Mainstream album as the best album that period of the Maynard band ever made...

For me, the real "treat" in this bit is Doris Packer...carrying the lead for the royalty scene and damn, look at her set the tone, takes the looniness opportunity and runs with it, leading with her hands and her pitch. But they're all in the zone, really. I'd expect Reiner to deliver, although this is a little above and beyond, even for him. But Doris Packer...geez, I never really paid attention to her on either Dobie Gillis or Leave It To Beaver. I don't think she was that looney there. I'm, like, 2/3 of the way through Season 2, and so far, even the "lesser" episodes have been excellent. The better ones...wow, that's all I can say, really, just wow. Found this a few months ago, Morey Amsterdam & Art Carney on Dumont, 1950. Found it to be revelatory in its own way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf12duyS4IM

In its earliest days, Comedy Central had "black and white sundays" and they would show Caesar reruns (not sure if all were Your Show Of Shows" or not). Do know that a theatrical release called "Ten From Your Show Of Shows" came out in 1973 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069663/ and caused a fair amount of critical buzz/re-appreciation. Don't know if it's been out on either VHS or DVD, though. What I recall being discouraged by on the Comedy Central reruns was the degraded audio quality. I could follow along generally, but it took a lot of effort. In terms of my enjoyment, it didn't take away from it, it just limited it, if that makes any sense. I'd love to see those archives (such as they are?) cleaned up and comprehensively placed back into circulation.

Ah, I see! How does this fit into things, then?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwonVUPr8-M Probably my third time through the Duck Van Dick show (fourth if you count original views, which I don't becuase it was not my choice to watch, it was what was on in the house), and OMG LOL, I think I appreciate it more now than ever, so many serious skills coming at you all at once in every episode. I know it's funnier than ever, at least to me. Lavender Lollipops or Point Me To The Moon! Gotta love Doris Packer.

Geez, Larry, listen to some Webern.

My dog just vomited on the floor. Good thing my laptop wasn't there!

This is like the girl who barely looked at you telling the world you're a lousy lay. I mean, maybe you are, maybe you're not, but who the fuck is she to know?

Ok, thanks for that insight! I only spent a summer playing one in high school (great way to spend an adolescent summer break..shedding a freakin' basson for no other reason than the sheer fun of it), and then again in woodwinds class in college. Until I got a semi-grip on the double reed thing, all of my notes sounded like that. After I got a semi-grip on the double reed thing...only many of them sounded like that. If it's not a known, specific effect, then I'd go with the latter notion...listening to all the scores (or pieces of music put together for each episode), there's nothing else that gets played that has any indication of "struggle" to it...anything but...some TV shows you can hear that folks were doing the classic read it and take it, things betray themselves too often, but the MI scores are always nailed. Still, I wonder if it originated as a goof and Schiffrin (who I think conducted this cue, not sure, but it gets used a lot, an d it's in line with his other known cues) just said, hey, that's cool, leave that in there. Because hte first time I heard...it got my attention, if you know what I mean, definitely a WTF! moment, pause, rewind, did I just hear that? Speaking of the MI score...the theme known as "The Plot" could easily be played as something from one of those early 70s Elvin bands. Easily.

Well, crap, that was the wrong link, wasn't it. Fixed it. Would be curious to hear what you've got to say.

Thanks for those clips..such an expressive instrument, and such a bear to play! Unfortunately, none of them have the specific effect I'm wondering abut...I did find this clip from MI, it occurs twice in the passage beginning @ 3:36. I think it's just basic overblowing, but...I'm not a bassoonist at all (have tinkered with one years ago, but for just a few months), so maybe it's something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caKdYMIjYYQ Anybody willing to ask any bassonists they might know? I don't really know any myself.

I had a buddy come by the other day and say something about how he needs to get his girlfriend over here to see how he's not the only one who's buying things while still having stuff still waiting to be opened, and I thought, oh, shit, I'm being solicited to be an enabler. Hey, it's a gig. And really, what are friends for?
