  7. Nice to see a recent long-form interview of @codysimpson , on Australia's #TripleJ ; going over the wild ride fame has taken him on:
    youtube.com/watch?v=7nf1q0GwI78
    He seemed a little anxious at times for this (primarily) radio chat, but that was a daily routine for Cody in his 1.0 days as he travelled to different markets to often answer repetitive questions. He briefly goes into the upcoming #GuysAndDolls performances from Sydney Harbour, plus future music plans, including visiting LA.

  8. From IMDb: Frank Sinatra loathed the non-singing Marlon Brando for getting the starring role, while Sinatra got a lesser part. His nickname for the sometimes barely comprehensible Brando was "Mumbles."

  9. From IMDb: Brando, knowing how much Sinatra hated cheesecake, had purposely flubbed each take so that Sinatra would have to eat piece after piece of cheesecake.

  10. Things I didn’t know to ask until a few months ago: why does the map in (the first season, at least, of) Dora the Explorer sound like one of the craps players from Guys and Dolls?

    #DoraTheExplorer #GuysAndDolls #map

    (For those who don’t know: it’s an anthropomorphic map who sings. “If you’ve got somewhere to get, I can get you there I bet. I’m the map.”)

  11. Geyser Dolls

    (A musical depicting the lives of supernatural Depression-Era dolls living underneath Old Faithful)

  12. I am "on stage" for Guys and Dolls. This is a bit smaller than I expected from the filmed version of Midsummer's Night Dream...

    Picture contains me (and probably eye contact)

  13. Delighted to be working on some #accordion #music #arranging. This time a rarely heard tune from #GuysAndDolls - skipped in the movie. Agog at the chord progressions as I figure them out. Never seen anything like them before. Arranging in Notion on my #MacBook Pro with a #MIDI USB controller keyboard. #SheetMusic #MacBookPro #MBP #Mac #MusicTechnology #MusicArranging #Musicals #Squeezebox

  15. More #accordion #music arranging, this time starting on a new version of two #GuysAndDolls tunes. These are in the original stage show version, but were dropped from the 1955 movie. I've adored them for a long time. #IanCharleson 's 1982 #NationalTheatre version of them is a particular favourite of mine, ever since the 1980s, though I never saw that performance on stage. #squeezebox #SheetMusic #Musicals #FilmMusic

  20. Delighted to manage 90 mins #accordion #practice, mainly trying #musicals tunes I'll do new arrangements of. Also played French #musette, Despacito, #ABBA, Bergerac, Spanish Gypsy Dances, #Scottish traditional etc. Been weaker on my right side since a huge cerebral #vasculitis relapse/ #stroke like thing in 2004. So it was marvellous to do well today. Here's a recording of a #GuysAndDolls tune A Woman in Love written as extra for the 1955 movie. Tentatively played here. #squeezebox #music #neuro

  21. More sheet #music acquisitions tonight, ready for some more new #accordion version arrangements. I adore working out my own arrangements like this. That’s the piano, vocal and guitar sheet music versions of #LesMiserables and #PhantomOfTheOpera. And, crikey, the full vocal score for #GuysAndDolls. I have never worked with one of those before, but it gives me some less reproduced tunes that I love. #SheetMusic #squeezebox #LesMis #Phantom #MusicArranging #Musicals
