DR FJL what did you say that made Yvonne DeCarlo Glare? And what was she autographing for you?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #391 on:** December 31, 2006, 06:48:19 PM »

I'll try and remember to send over a CD of nearly all the songs from the movie JRand. The soundtrack LP only had about half!

Helen was amazingly popular in England but had little stage presence I believe. She has the honour (!!) of being the most reported/rumour dead singer in the UK.

Exaggerated I hope. Well yes, she did seem a bit on the staid side.

Would love to have the CD....some of those novelty songs were great. And ALL of the musicians who were smoking while they were playing or singing....whew!

Acker Bilk was smoking a ciggie while playing the clarinet!

Wouldn't it be a gift teen if we reached fifteen.

Our partay officially begins in nine count them nine minutes.

Thanks JRand.

Mr Guy Haines should record Let's Talk About Love.

It seems you do have a French Champagne, MR BK. Although the Veuve Cliquot is the more common champagne....

I do have some neat schoolbooks from the 1860s and 1870s. The oldest book in my collection is a geography book from 1860.

Dakota, I am surprised your teachers didn't make you give them back at the end of the semester.

DR FRANCOIS will be able to discuss it with certainty, I am sure.

And our partay has officially begun. I'm having my first party Diet Coke.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #406 on:** December 31, 2006, 07:03:57 PM »

Another song for Mr Guy Haines.

Mr BK do you know from Helen Shapiro?

I have had my New Year's Rockin' Eve meal of three turkey sandwiches (spread out over the last five hours), cole slaw, and a cookie. I am done with food for the rest of the evening, but I shall be drinking like a fish - Diet Coke, pink lemonade, cranraspberry, and Veuve Verney at midnight (one sip only, just to be in the spirit of things, as it were).

bk · « **Reply #408 on:** December 31, 2006, 07:04:41 PM »

I must admit I do not know from Helen Shapiro.

bk · « **Reply #409 on:** December 31, 2006, 07:05:17 PM »

I suspect this very day will enter the top ten, and sooner rather than later.

bk · « **Reply #410 on:** December 31, 2006, 07:05:33 PM »

The only question now is how far up the top ten will we go?

bk · « **Reply #411 on:** December 31, 2006, 07:06:29 PM »

We already have six GUESTS - come on in, the Veuve Verney is fine.

bk · « **Reply #412 on:** December 31, 2006, 07:07:03 PM »

I'm wearing my pointy party hat and my colored tights and pantaloons - I look awfully cute for an older Jew.

I say, to the moon, Alice.

Please click on the first clip above and see Ms Shapiro. I have fallen in love.

Helen Shapiro had 5 top 10 hits (including 2 #1) and was voted the UK's top female singer before she was 16.

JRand - Yvonne deCarlo Glare - it sounds like a special kind of eye makeup.

That was someone else who made Yvonne glare. I suggested that the glare might have been understandable because the fan was trying to explain to Yvonne why the house in which she had just done Hello Dolly was only a quarter full. The fan meant to be consoling to Yvonne, but I thought that by explaining the small house to her, he was just risking making her feel worse about it. But while she glared, she did sign an autograph for the fan. A couple of people thought Yvonne should have been more gracious.
