Speaking of today's title of the notes, didn't Mae West in her autobiography claim to have invented the shimmy? And didn't Gloria Swanson say SHE invented it? Or am I hopelessly muddled?

I think it was Dorothy Rodgers. Or was that the Johnny Mop?

but that's probably outta time range....<sigh>

Being a regular poster isn't a chore or responsibility. It's fun - just like shimmying. Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself? We're just one happy little family here.

LOL. I just hope I remember to wish her a happy birthday on the 21st.

Ann thanks for the lovely Rainbow. We had a nice rainbow this afternoon which I enjoyed from the warmth of our house.

Goodnight. Sleep well.

bk · « **Reply #257 on:** January 12, 2004, 09:28:14 PM »

I wish my mug would be white - I've never used it for anything. But that mug might be white sooner than I think, oh, yes, it might be white sooner than I think.

I think we got us some late-night denizens here, by gum and by golly.

I can tell you that I saw the show with the original cast, and on the Friday night I saw it, that opening number stopped the show cold. There were people standing. It and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN were definitely my two favorites musicals of the 1990s that I saw. I suspect ASSASSINS would have been the other had I seen the original company. I've seen other productions of ASSASSINS that thrilled me to the depths of my bones, just like those two Broadway shows did.

Good posts are what is the norm around these parts, in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo).

bk · « **Reply #263 on:** January 12, 2004, 09:34:34 PM »

In fact, I'd say that our regulars are the best damned posters on all the Internet. THAT'S what I'M talkin' about.

OK, way past my bedtime here in the East. I'm headed downstairs. Will look forward to more fun and frivolity tomorrow. Good night.
