I was totally clueless about what the Annette tin would be all about. I thought it would be a series of vignettes from several years of "The Mickey Mouse Club", plus songs, etc.

Turns out it's a 20-episode series about Annette moving in with an aunt and uncle! You could've knocked me over with a feather.

I have no memory of that series.

My favorite Irving Berlin song?

I'd have to pick all of the songs everybody else has listed, plus LET ME SING AND I'M HAPPY.

I really wanted to use that in my 1-person Al Jolson play several years ago, but the Berlin estate would not give permission.

TOD cont'd:

I love the verse to "What'll I Do?" as well as the entire song

"God Bless Amercia" also with a great verse.

DR Jane: Re: The Facebook requests. You can, of course, click on "Ignore". I'm sure "I" won't be offended that several of them are from me.

Of course, they're all just a bunch of flowers for your "L'il Green Patch" which, as it turns out, costs you nothing. And you'll be saving precious square footage of the Amazon rainforests for accepting (and even sending some to others).

And there may be a few creatures for your "L'il Blue Cove"...again, costs you nothing, saves rain forest, and foments good will and cheer among the folks doing all the sending.

Of course, there are a lot of folks out there who don't have the time to fool with that sort of thing. I realize and appreciate that.

Absolutely my favorite serial of all the ones they did during the three year run of THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB.

Yes, Roberta Shore was pure evil in the ANNETTE serial. But she is such a sweetie in real life. I had a blast chatting with her at the last Ray Court's show I attended in Burbank. Still very pretty. I even dashed out to he lobby to get her a pepsi.

And she sings good too.

Why haven't I interviewed her?

I just got an e-mail from BK, so I think that his head is intact.

Actually, BK wrote a very nice blurb for the back cover of the book.

And ANNETTE was my all time favorite Mickey Mouse Club serial as well. And the dresses they wore...never saw so many petticoats in my life...well, not since FEMALE ON THE BEACH.

FEMALE ON THE BEACH: Another Jeff Chandler movie.

I saw that one first-run, too. Also, at Seattle's long-gone Orpheum Theater.

Do you suppose Jeff Chandler tried on anyone's petticoats?

Thanks for the correct info-- I just remember how mad I was at her when I saw the series as a kid.

Female on the Beach! I love that movie! When, oh when, is it coming to DVD?

Joan to Jeff:
"You're about as friendly as a suction pump."
"I wouldn't have you if you were hung with diamonds, upside down!"

A true cinematic classic.

Wow, so you like Annette better than the various permutation of Spin and Marty? Color me taken aback. Did Annette have horses? Campfire singing? A wacky English butler sidekick?

No? I rest my case.

I've always been partial to Putting On The Ritz and I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket...the "putting" songs I guess. In fact, I like all of the score to FOLLOW THE FLEET.

But let's talk my least favourite Irving Berlin songs...A couple of friends and I have an annual argument during WHITE CHRISTMAS as to which is the worst Irving Berlin song..."We'll Follow The Old Man" or "What Do You Do With a General", personally I think the latter...but "Mr. Monotony" may top both of them.

I've always disliked the song "ALWAYS" intensely.

RE: Always...I can understand your antipathy. It's insistently winsome, isn't it?
