Robert Mitchum: 

Too many to list.  He was one of my favorite actors.

In fact, for a time, I did publicity for his son, Chris.

Brian Keith:


No films come to mind.  However, I do recall seeing him in a Woodland Hills production of THE SUNSHINE BOYS (the Walter Matthau role) in which he was totally miscast.

Brian Keith was a wonderful actor - especially in The Parent Trap.  But I also loved him in his three 50s noirs - Tight Spot, 5 Against the House, and Nightfall.  I watched his TV series Crusader when I was a kid.  Also very good in The Young Philadelphians, Nevada Smith, The Russians Are Coming, Gaily, Gaily, and The Wind and the Lion - yes, he was very prolific and it's a bit surprising that no one knows him better, especially on this board.

The production of The Sunshine Boys Druxy speaks of was at a tiny 87-seat theater in Woodland Hills, that was owned by my friend Ed Gaynes (he produced my show Together Again and offered Welcome to My World a home at his theater next to Joe Allen).  Brian Keith played Willy Clark and Al Lewis was played by Howard Morris.

Brian Keith is a name and face I've known since I was a kid, but I'm hard pressed to say for sure what I really knew him from besides The Parent Trap.  I must have caught a lot of appearances on TV, though I'm pretty sure I didn't watch any of his big shows regularly. 

A conundrum, it is.

While Yoda, I'm not.

So, I was playing through my La Cage aux Folles book and cursing some impossible page turns, when I finally saw why they're horrible.  They were bound wrong; i.e., a song that should start on the left or right side of the open book to facilitate good page turns starts on the other instead.  The problem is easy to see from a logical standpoint, but the location of the page numbers betrays the perpetrator. 

There's NO way for me to correct this without scanning the entire book and re-laying out how the double-sided pages should go...and that just can't happen at this point.  I've seen local idiots make a "play" copy of a book and get the whole thing wrong, and that's bad enough.  This is the first time I've received one like this from the rental house.

Not only am I a big fan of his I always loved his name.  I wanted Bryan's middle name to be Keith.  You know that Jewish tradition about not naming a child after a living person, my dear mother in-law objected.  It didn't matter that I just wanted the name ;)

TIGHT SPOT also has some nice performances from Ginger Rogers and Edward G. Robinson - but the twist at the end involving another character really makes the movie......

It makes Rogers' final moment on the stand a bit anticlimactic.....

I played the commissioned song and I have to say they loved it.  This is a family thing - a surprise for the father who's being honored at an event.  So, it starts with the young daughter, then the older daughter sings her verse, they sing the first bridge together, then mom has her verse, then the three of them sing a second bridge, and then everyone in the room will stand and sing the final verse.  I have to say, the tune is really catchy - in a way it's a shame this will be its only use :)  They loved the lyric and thought I captured each of their feelings perfectly.  That's why I had that dinner a few weeks ago - to ask questions and listen to their answers.  I didn't really use anything they said literally, just words here and there and the general spirit of what they were saying.  Should I print the lyric here?

Here's the lyric - of course it's just a lyric without the really catchy tune that goes with it - very upbeat and melodic.

THERE IS THIS GUY I KNOW

BECAUSE HE’S REALLY SPECIAL, YOU SEE
WHO MAKES MY SKY SO BLUE
I’LL TELL YOU WHO
WHO MAKES THE SUN COME OUT JUST FOR ME
ALWAYS HUMBLE

HE’S MY DAD

THERE IS THIS GUY I KNOW
WHO’S WATCHED ME GROW
AND BEEN THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
AND IF I COME UP SHORT
HE’S MY SUPPORT
A SHOULDER I CAN LEAN ON ALL DAY
GETS ME THROUGH THINGS
TELLS ME I CAN DO THINGS
AND THOUGH I MAY SCREW THINGS
UP – HE’S ALWAYS THERE
THERE TO GUIDE ME
ALWAYS THERE BESIDE ME
HELP THE TERRIFIED ME
NONE COMPARE 
TO MY DAD

AND YOU KNOW THAT
THOUGH THESE WORDS MAY SEEM TRITE
HE MAKES EVERYTHING RIGHT
HE IS PATIENT AND CALM
HE’S THE BEST DAD THERE IS
WE’RE SO GLAD THAT WE’RE HIS
LET’S TURN IT OVER TO MOM

THERE IS THIS GUY I KNOW
HE’S MY HIT SHOW
HE MAKES MY WORLD A BEAUTIFUL THING
HE ALWAYS FITS THE BILL
HE ALWAYS WILL
I LOOK AT HIM, I JUST WANT TO SING
HE’S SURPRISING
ALWAYS ENERGIZING
ALWAYS MESMERIZING
HE MAKES ME WANT TO SOAR
WHEN I MET HIM
I COULD NOT FORGET HIM
AND I WOULDN’T LET HIM
GET AWAY – CLOSED THAT DOOR
THERE IS JUST ONE OF HIM
AND YOU KNOW I LOVE HIM
MORE AND MORE

AND YOU KNOW THAT
THOUGH IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL
IT’S THE WAY THAT WE FEEL
HE IS REALLY A GEM
ALL THE PEOPLE HE’S MET
SING HIS PRAISES, YOU BET
LET’S TURN IT OVER TO THEM

THERE IS THIS GUY WE KNOW
HE MAKES US GLOW
YOU KNOW THE GUY WE’RE TALKIN’ ABOUT
THERE IS NO NEED TO WAIT
LET’S CELEBRATE
IT’S REALLY SOMETHING WE’VE GOT TO SHOUT
SO WE’LL SHOUT IT
CARRY ON ABOUT IT
NEVER EVER DOUBT IT
YOU’RE THE GUY WE ADORE
YEAH, WE’RE BRAGGING
YOU’RE THE GUY WE’RE TAGGING
THERE’S NO WAY WE’RE LAGGING
NOW THAT WE’VE GOT THE FLOOR
THERE IS JUST ONE OF YOU
AND YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU
MORE AND MORE!

Vibes in advance for DR George's upcoming procedure.

Thanks, Jeanne!  Today and tomorrow are the days where I need to eat a low-fiber diet, then Monday is the actual day of preparation, with only "clear liquids" allowed besides the actual product :P

Well, I need to be going.  I need to shower, shave, and get dressed.  Before I get to the show, I need to get some more programs printed for tonight's show, or next week's shows, if I get more printed than what will be needed for tonight.  Then, it's show time.

Be back later!

As you all know, the weather frogs were correct about a big storm yesterday. The skies have now cleared and the sun is out in my 'hood.

The Sunday storm is for Northern California, but we're expecting more rain next week. Normal rain, not a mega storm.

Next week as in tomorrow or later in the week?

Here's the lyric - of course it's just a lyric without the really catchy tune that goes with it - very upbeat and melodic.


This is beautiful Bruce, and boy is that guy lucky.

Grant sent over the final book with the last of the corrections so I'll go through that tonight - but here's the thing.  Somewhere around three o'clock, after the family left.  My left ear began to feel blocked up, rather like on a plane as you're landing - not my right ear.  And it got very weird very quickly, and I liken it to a tweeter having blown. If I speak loudly it's like static for breakup in that ear.  I used a Q-tip but I'm pretty good about cleaning my ears regularly and there was nothing there anyway.  I have never in my life had any issues with my ears.  I Googled and found that the two most common things for this kind of thing are waxy buildup, which I'm pretty sure isn't the case, or water on the ear due to a sinus infection or flu - since I've had neither that doesn't seem to fit the bill, although I guess anything is possible.  If it IS the latter, they say there's nothing to do about it but let it run its course.  But if it's not improving by Monday, I may just go to an ENT and have it checked.

I played the commissioned song and I have to say they loved it.  This is a family thing - a surprise for the father who's being honored at an event.  So, it starts with the young daughter, then the older daughter sings her verse, they sing the first bridge together, then mom has her verse, then the three of them sing a second bridge, and then everyone in the room will stand and sing the final verse.  I have to say, the tune is really catchy - in a way it's a shame this will be its only use :)  They loved the lyric and thought I captured each of their feelings perfectly.  That's why I had that dinner a few weeks ago - to ask questions and listen to their answers.  I didn't really use anything they said literally, just words here and there and the general spirit of what they were saying.  Should I print the lyric here?

Yes please

  I was dozing  in the recliner this afternoon. when my doorbell was rung several times in quick succession followed by an urgent pounding on the door.  Thinking there was some sort of emergency I stumbled to the door to find a Verizon saleswoman who immediately launched into her peppy speech about working at a neighbors house... I told her I had the flu and she responded "Oh, that's OK!  You have optimum, right? ". I just shut the door...  Nitwit, I wasn't apologizing to you for having the flu, that was your cue to apologize to me for disturbing me.

Bruce, try Sambucol. It's good for sinus, and if that's not was it is, it won't hurt.

Hope it's better tomorrow. As you know, LOTS of people have been sick.

A Q-tip can actually push wax into the ear.  Drops to remove wax can be purchased over the counter.   I do agree to check with an ENT ifor the problem continues.

I have to admit that this is one of those shows that I didn't really care for when I first saw it.  The women were all very solid on their roles, the costumes were great, the staging was simple but effective, but it just didn't grab me.  Having seen it multiple times over this past week, I've really gotten to like and appreciate it a lot more.
