I think it should be Andrew Lloyd Weber ...

A few years ago, he was working on a new item for a musical score with
his computer and electronic keyboard. Well, he had to step away from the computer for a bit, and the saying "Kitten On The Keys" took on a whole
new meaning. Kitty came in, jumped on the keyboard, and with a few paw strokes, completely deleted the large project that he was working on.

Hi Janis! Great to see you and glad to be here with my dog Trinket that's a small brown chichi. He's a great dog, yet aggresive and set in his ways.

I had to look up that type of dog, Jon - it's a very cute breed :)

Then the cats here will not only meow, but also sing in good English and dance. ;)

Have nice nights.

I am am Andrew Lloyd Weber afficionado ... I think he's a musical genius just as Bach, Beethoven, Brahms etc were ... I'm stopping short for Mozart, that's another category.

When they had the 25th anniversary performance of Phantom of the Opera in London's Royal Albert Hall, my daughter and I had tickets costing hundreds of pounds each ... and well worth it. We went to Broadway to watch his work, Hamburg, other places. Even contemplated Melbourne ... but the plane tickets were too expensive.

Anyway, the story about ALW's cat is authentic, she destroyed the entire score of "Love Never Dies" which was stored, without backup somewhere, on his Clavinova. That's how we know he doesn't score on paper anymore.

So Yamaha engineers were flown in and his instrument was disassembled to see what traces might be left in the chips and a substantial amount was recuperated. He still had to rewrite several portions, bridges etc ... There was no orchestral scoring involved.

"Love Never Dies" had a short carreer, 6 months in London, 6 months in Melbourne and Brisbane, 1 month in Copenhagen and 1 month in Hamburg. The public loved it, the critics destroyed it and the financial backers withdrew fearing for their investment. I saw it in London and Hamburg, with my daughter, of course ... a masterpiece, thanks to the cat.

With his latest piece "Cinderella" the cat was nowhere near and he daily backed up his work.

Some trivia about data-retrieval: little is it known that about 80% of all data on the computer discs that went down when the WTC towers collapsed eventually was recovered ... and that was "a lot".

Hi, Ward!

I am am Andrew Lloyd Weber afficionado ...

I fully support! I also really like his work. I even set my alarm clock to the melody "Pontius Pilate's Dream", but unfortunately I had to refuse, because, it didn't wake me up, but I dreamed, I met a galilean, a most amazing man. ;)

Have nice nights.
Stas Mishchenkov.

I saw it on Broadway 1972 and the stadiumshow some 10 years ago in London's O2.

Not bad actually. Well behaved too except when you go somewhere or if someone leaves. Doesn't even eat human food unless you tell him you can. =)

Ward,

I am am Andrew Lloyd Weber afficionado ... I think he's a musical
genius just as Bach, Beethoven, Brahms etc were ... I'm stopping short
for Mozart, that's another category.

A classical gas is a Mozart Fart. <G> In the movie "Amadeus", the
character of Mozart did just that, on several occasions. While folks
have been farting since day one, society has gotten so banal. There was
a study that determined that people fart from as little as 15 times a day,
to as much as 25 times an hour. I wonder how much of our tax money was used
to determine that?? There was also a rumor that they were going to do a
study on the effects of second hand flatulence, but they couldn't get any volunteers. :P

When they had the 25th anniversary performance of Phantom of the Opera
in London's Royal Albert Hall, my daughter and I had tickets costing hundreds of pounds each ... and well worth it. We went to Broadway to watch his work, Hamburg, other places. Even contemplated Melbourne ...
but the plane tickets were too expensive.

I remember listening to items from it on a record, but never saw it on
TV or in person. I think the theme (or one of them) was "That's All I Ask
Of You".

Anyway, the story about ALW's cat is authentic, she destroyed the
entire score of "Love Never Dies" which was stored, without backup somewhere, on his Clavinova. That's how we know he doesn't score on
paper anymore.

That was originally on a deal known as "Amateur Radio Newsline".

So Yamaha engineers were flown in and his instrument was disassembled
to see what traces might be left in the chips and a substantial amount
was recuperated. He still had to rewrite several portions, bridges etc
... There was no orchestral scoring involved.

There is software now where you can create the music, instead of hand
writing everything on sheet music paper (been there, done that). I used
a program called Cakewalk years ago.

"Love Never Dies" had a short carreer, 6 months in London, 6 months in Melbourne and Brisbane, 1 month in Copenhagen and 1 month in Hamburg.
The public loved it, the critics destroyed it and the financial backers withdrew fearing for their investment. I saw it in London and Hamburg, with my daughter, of course ... a masterpiece, thanks to the cat.

The thing is, the public may love it...but if the critics hate it, the
deal is doomed.

With his latest piece "Cinderella" the cat was nowhere near and he
daily backed up his work.

Lesson learned...no pussyfooting around. <G>

Some trivia about data-retrieval: little is it known that about 80% of
all data on the computer discs that went down when the WTC towers collapsed eventually was recovered ... and that was "a lot".

That's true.

Daryl

... Out of my mind. Be back in five minutes.

Hi Jon!

Hi Janis! Great to see you and glad to be here with my dog Trinket
that's a small brown chichi. He's a great dog, yet aggresive and set
in his ways.

I had to look up that type of dog, Jon - it's a very cute breed :)

Not bad actually. Well behaved too except when you go somewhere or if someone
leaves.

My dad bought an irish setter once that was friendly to non-family members as can be, *until they tried to leave*... once, that dog decided to bite the village Doctor on the ass :(

My dad couldn't appologize enough as you can probably guess...

Doesn't even eat human food unless you tell him you can. =)

When I was training our dogs, I found that if you didn't give the dog leftovers, the dog wouldn't try to steal food ...until I got my first black labrador retriever.. then all bets were off in that respect. I'm sure he was thinking, "Your Food is My Food!"

Take care,
Janis
