I hope you get help. LOL . I think there are support groups.

Yes, I am in a support group. I'm up to step 5: I have admitted to God, to myself and to another human being (i.e., HHW) the exact nature of my wrongs. However, I am not quite (step 6): entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Indeed, Tomovoz! I associate the two songs, and forgot that Bo and Co. swiped the song from the Brits. Their version is superior though.

Another two big 70s Brit hits I loved:

"The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace

British? I never knew. It is one of my all time favorite songs.

Bo would not have had any airplay here at all.. I prefer the Paper Lace version -- familiarity !! and of course released months earlier.

Just get Noel to intevene and destroy the Rod Stewart collection.

Go back and listen to Ella's songbooks and all will be forgiven and taste restored.

Has anyone listened to the American Songbook cd yet?

I might need to join Joy's support group, we have volume 1 & 2 in the jukebox.

Press story here was that Paper Lace were so full of themselves they expected to be given the "key to the city" for their "tribute" to Chicago.. Good Grief!

The songs are great - the performance is not.

I’m listening to THE NIGHT CHICAGO DIED.

Tomovoz of course Ella was THE greatest, doesn't mean I can't enjoy Rod.

Matt H. · « **Reply #103 on:** February 25, 2006, 02:55:54 PM »

Well, the rain arrived right on cue, and made the gray day even drearier.

A great day for curling up by the fire with a good book, spending a leisurely afternoon on the phone with a good friend, or indulging in some great movies on video. I did two of these.

It's digital... if only he knew how the computer works, he could perform such a dastardly deed.

Oh, I have that stuff too... and my iPod apparently LOVES her 10-minute "Mack the Knife". It comes up every time I do a shuffle. That, and "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight", by England Dan and John Ford Coley.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #105 on:** February 25, 2006, 02:58:02 PM »

BTW I am not anti Rod Stewart. I really like his "covers" of "Sailing" (the Sutherland Brothers) and "Reason to Believe" (Tim Hardin).

I'm also not anti pop stars singing standards I love the Ronstadt versions and the Nilsson ones.
(I even have Ringo Starr''s "Sentimental Journey")

Matt H. · « **Reply #106 on:** February 25, 2006, 02:58:08 PM »

I finished LILI this afternoon. Wonderful, compact film of great joy and tenderness. How wonderful to see it again!

Ella is to Rod as Big Nick's Burger Joint is to McDonald's.

And I LOVE McDonald's. Or, used to. Back when I didn't mind being a fatass.

I would have said McHale's instead of Big Nick's, but... alas.

Tonight I'll watch another FIREFLY episode to finish out disc 1, watch the CSI episodes from disc 3 I skipped, and then move on to WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS.

DR Joy. The "I'm not talking about me moving in" line in "I'd Really love To see you" is possibly the hardest ever line to "pick up" in a pop single when every other line is so clear. Great song though.

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:02:34 PM »

Tomovoz, it’s okay you don’t have to like Rod’s songbook

. I too love the Ronstadt versions.

I just read that Don Knotts has died.

Here's a link to an article on Comcast.net:

DR Jane - I am well known as having such excellent musical taste NOT!

Still some people like "Blood Brothers" and "The Woman in White". What would I know?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #115 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:05:45 PM »

As anyone heard from Mr Anthony Dale?

TPunk and I would rather be skinned alive than listen to Rod's standards collections.

"Daddy was a cop. On the East Side of Chicago. Back in the USA. Back in the Bad Old days!"

Great stuff!
Some people took issue with the fact that Chicago is more of a North Side, South Side town, and has no "East Side", per se. But heck, every place has an east side.

Just read they're trying to pass a law so I can't go out on tour as The Platters!
