My wife loves figure skating - she competed as a youngster up to the Provincial level. So when she retired I purchased tickets to five days of an international Skate Canada competition. (I learned a lot and came to respect the athletes. Still think Sasha Cohen was the most beautiful female skater) Anyway, the ticket holders get to attend the daily practices. You can watch the competitors rehearse and perfect their programs. Jeffrey Buttle would try and try one move but kept falling, however in the competition he hit the jump - the live audience went wild. Anyone watching on TV would not know why there was such a big hand for this ordinary move.MikeThe Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121638582388746309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-20681953419887188552009-06-18T17:36:38.864-07:002009-06-18T17:36:38.864-07:00I enjoyed this story.

To me it points out the magic of what you and the other television and movie artists do.<br /><br />Could part of the difference between how the live audience reacts and how it plays on TV be from the fact that the studio audience sees everything while the TV audience only sees what the camera lets them see? We miss the off-screen action.<br /><br />I suppose that is part of what you said about the editing affecting the show. The editors are the final arbiters of what we see at home.<br /><br />Thank you, Earl.JEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07538398157297345338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-71105039210318810222009-06-18T05:56:58.944-07:002009-06-18T05:56:58.944-07:00Without the full John Philip Sousa experience, tha...Without the full John Philip Sousa experience, that's why the Spanish American War was such a dud for those of us reading about it at home -- even with the killer Hearst warm-up.A.
