Well, you've read the notes, you are now heady having read the notes, the notes are now heady having been read by people who are heady, and now it is time for you to post until the heady cows come home.

Good Morning!
As for today's Media Check:
CD Player - I'm still catching up from last week's list - and the list before that so... I will say that I do wish the booklet for Randy Newman's FAUST wasn't so hard to read, and so lacking in information.
DVD Player - Lots of films on stand-by, but the only thing I've "watched" this week has been been my workout DVD. So far, so good. :)
-
DVD: Broadway - The Golden Years
CDs: I have been making a compilation of one show from each of the last 40 years. I am half way through the task so the last three discs in the player were "The Tap Dance Kid", La Cage Aux Folles" and "Merrily We Roll Along". Next up will be a song from "Big River".
-
Back to yesterday. A suggestion for your good friend Guy: "The World I Used To Know" (Rod McKuen's song recorded by Jimmie Rodgers and also by Glen Yarborough). A beautiful wistful song that would I believe, suit the talents of Mr Haines.
-
Today's word shall be falafel.
-
Let's all put on our best Jerry Lewis voices and say:
FALAFEL!
-
Friday!
Wonderful official news about Mr Guy Haines' new CD!
DVD: Young Hannah Queen of the Witches
CD: Original Soundtrack VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
VHS: A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
-
Farfel?
N E S T L E S - Nestles makes the very best - CHOOOOC- LATE. (snap)
Oh faLAfel! Oh.....Falafel Pudding would be terrible.
-
So far: In my MP3 watch: the OBC recordings of Allegro and Pipe Dream by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Also, the soundtrack to "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", as recommended by Dan (the Man).
-
Did anyone else find Jerry Mahoney creepy and scary?
-
It is now 9 degrees F here. Holly the zaftig shar-pei has abandoned her regular sleeping rug and has spent the night in front of the fireplace in hopes that it will come on. I think I will give her some fire.
-
MR BK - I just found someone else of interest in JUST FOR YOU - Mr Dave Willock has a nice role as a counterman in a Broadway sandwich shop.
-
DVD: Smokey Joe's Cafe
CD: Man of No Importance
Eurovision Song Contest (Istanbul 2004)
Believe - The Songs of the Sherman Brothers
Magnolia - Songs by Aimee Mann

DR GEORGE I like Allegro and Pipe Dream, but I really like ME AND JULIET!
-
Hello OzDerek - I must be going!

Oh, by the way, I, too, am now a Mac User!
;D
I know I was saying I would be practical and all that, but after having my current laptop shut down three times this morning in less than 10 minutes for no apparent reason at all... Well, I know the reason, there's some sort of electrical short. And it's totally random. Sometimes it will go days, weeks, without shutting down out of the blue. But the past week, it's been doing it quite regularly. Sometimes it would shut off just as soon as it completed booting up. Other times, it would shut down if moved it or bumped it a little bit, or started typing. Very frustrating. It's four years old. So...
I hadn't gone to the mall with any real intention of buying a new laptop, but the Apple Store was on my last "loop" of the Mall, so I went in. I tried a bunch of things out. I asked a lot of questions. I surfed the web right there in the store checking on a few software titles and their cross-platform capabilities. I even made a few phone calls. After about a little over an hour, I walked out with a brand new iBook.
I just got the basic one with the 12-inch display. The 14-inch one just seemed a little bit too big for when I travel. The iBook is about the same size as my current laptop - so I can also use the same case! Alas, no Super Drive so I won't be able to burn DVDs, but I can watch them, and listen to and burn music CDs.
I turned it on around 9:30 tonight, and I've been futzing with it every since. YIKES!!! almost six hours! -I did take a break to watch the news, however. There were a whole bunch of software updates that needed to be downloaded, as well as installing iLife '05 - which came with the iBook, but wasn't pre-loaded.
Thankfully, the new models that just came out have the wireless card, Air Port, built in. And since my parents' house is wireless, the updates and such didn't take that much time to download. -Oh, and I'm glad I passed on that "Manager's Special" I saw the other day on the previous model. This one has so much more, and it's $100 less than the old base model.
And as for an iPod... We'll see. I was never really one for Walkmans and Discmans, so... We'll see.
-
It is now 9 degrees F here.
It has been 35 CELSIUS here today ... want to swap??????????
-
woo hoo - my last posting as a junior ....
... graduation is such fun!!!!!
-
Isn't Dave Willock the best? A unique actor with a great and instantly recognizable voice. And one of the nicest people who ever lived.
-
And might I just add - falafel.
-
The 14-inch one just seemed a little bit too big for when I travel.
DR JoseSPiano ... I do hope you are referring to the laptop!!!!!!!!
;) ;D ;) ;D
-
Hmmm.... Falafel!
I almost had falafel for dinner tonight. And I had some very good falafel whilst I was out in LA at some place on Fairfax (I think) just up a few blocks from Diamond Bakery and Canter's Deli (is it Canter's?). DR Jay recommended it to me. Very good falafel.
-
BTW - where do i go from "FULL MEMBER" .. and how many postings does it require???????????
-
DR Ann - ~~~~~~LUCRATIVE JOB VIBE$$$$$$~~~~~~
-
I don't remember the next plateau after full member.
I can say, however, without fear of contradiction: Falafel.
Where is dear reader Sandra when you need her. Probably formulating her pithy pudding sayings.
-
DR JoseSPiano ... I do hope you are referring to the laptop!!!!!!!!
;) ;D ;) ;D
Well... There was that other store on the upper level down one corridor...
:o
;D
-
OK... I still have a bunch of stuff to clear off my bed, and then I need to get ready for bed.
Goodnight.
-
I'm going to have to go through quite a few boxes tomorrow to locate the one in which all my sheet music resides. I have a vague idea which box it's in, and thankfully, they're all labeled as to which room or closet they came from.
-
Ann, how are you feeling right this very minute.
And when are you watching What If, A Musical Revue?
-
I'm, of course, feeling heady.
-
And one for Mahler.
-
And one for falafel.
-
And one for Falafel!!
-
Today's word shall be falafel.
One could say if earthquake hits, grab rail .. otherwise we all falafel down!!!
(I know, i know... i can hear the groans from way down here ...sigh!!!!!)
::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
What am I, doing a monologue?
-
Four seconds apart, BK!
-
DR GEORGE I like Allegro and Pipe Dream, but I really like ME AND JULIET!
That's the one that I haven't gotten on CD. I have the album, but not the CD, yet. I'm searching on eBay every once in a while. It's only available on amazon.com from individual sellers...the lowest price is $100!! The highest is $197.99. Umm...that's just a bit too much for me. ::)
-
Great minds, etc.
-
Has Ann caught up yet? Is she giving me the SILENT TREATMENT.
As Glenn Close so memorably said: I WILL NOT BE IGNORED.
-
Does anybody know the latest news on HARMONY (the Barry Manilow musical)? Last I heard, it had been shelved due to funding issues. If anybody has any more recent news, please advise. Thx. (And 'yes' - I am a fan!!!)
-
I think they're planning to do Harmony again - but that may just be press agent falafel.
Well, I suppose I'll just toddle off to the bedroom environment.
-
Good night, BK. I'm off, too.
-
I just checked my bank account and my income tax refund was deposited! I do the Telefile and I phoned it in last Tuesday. It took less than 10 days!! Falafel for everyone!!
-
Now I'm going to bed. ;D

Good morning, all! It's a B&N day. I have to pick up a new book on the infamous Middaugh Street house in Brooklyn. In 1940, the following people lived there off and on: W H Auden, scene designer Oliver Smith, Gypsy Rose Lee, Benjamin Britten, Peter Pears, Carson McCullers, Paul Bowles, George Davis who later married Lotte Lenya, and assorted sailors from the Brooklyn navy yard. Britten and Pears, after moving back to England, said one of the major reasons for leaving the house was its louche atmosphere and lack of morals! Sounds like houses I lived in during college.
My friend Charlie Harmon, who was Leonard Bernstein's assistant for a while, lives in Brooklyn Heights about a block from Middaugh Street. At his 2003 New Year's Eve party a little over a year ago now, all the guests walked around the Heights, went down to look at Manhattan from the esplanade, and we even looked for the Middaugh Street house, which has been long torn down to make room for an expressway. Ou sont les neiges d'antan?
DRGeorge, ME AND JULIET is out of print? I can burn you a CD if you'd like.
Dear Friend BK, still thinking about songs for Mr Haines: perhaps "My Shining Hour" or "My Foolish Heart" (Victor Young?), nit the Kurt Weill. Speaking of Mtr Weill, his "Westwind" from ONE TOUCH OF VENUS is quite lovely.
TOD: CD: I just finished listening to 60s and 70s rock, JEEPERS CREEPERS, perhaps some Mussorgsky, Cimarosa's IL MATRIMONIO SEGRETO based on Mr Garrick's CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.
DVD: Verdi's opera FALSTAFF in a production from Brussels, 2 Netflix films, perhaps WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?
VHS: Nada

I'm listening to Elaine Page's weekly show on BBC Radio 2 right now. She does a show with film and theatre music and focuses on one musical a week, calling it the "essential musical". This week's show is A Chorus Line, unfortunately she's playing the song from the film version which is(IMHO) a dreadful piece. It replaced Music and the Mirror and the song is all tarted up with silly lyrics and a not very good arrangement (again, IMHO). Don't know what I'll be listening to after that. I needs must get me the new cast recording of Frogs, in spite of the problems listed by DTM earlier in the week. Jamie de Roy also has a new CD. She does compilation albums using good people doing new music and interesting arrangements of older material. I have all the others and now I need Volume 6. I also need to get the new Nancy LaMott CD. It's a live recording done at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. She did the show just a few months before she died in 1995. I am a big NLM fan and hear very good things about this CD.
I must get back to work. Before that I will wash my oatmeal bowl (oatmeal with raisins and a banana and a cup of hot, black coffee, good breakfast!!!)
Before I go, OzDerek, your next level (IIRC) is the infamous GOD. You need 501 posts to reach that level, so get to work young man!
Later, gaters.
-
I'm back so soon.
Does anyone know anything about a 1994 studio recording of a show called Lunch? Miss Paige just played a track from the show. It was Carol Burnett singing a song called Alone. Intriguing. I don't know anything about the show. I shall have to interrupt my work to surf the net and find what I can about this concoction.
Again, later.
-
DR TD: So sorry about your Minx. She must be thankful to you too.

DRBen, I have the memory of displays of it at the old HMV on 72nd Street. Wasn't it another concept album of a show in the works? Beyond that, I know nothing about it!
-
Yes, DR TD I add my good thoughts to you on the loss of Minx.
-
Here's the track list anyway. It's called "A Modern Musical Myth". I found a jpeg of the CD cover but since I have new photo software at work I can't reduce as easily as I used to. It is a concept musical and I don't know if it went anywhere after the CD. According to his official Web site, the Brian Mitchell listed below is Brian Stokes Mitchell. It was recorded in Los Angeles in 1994 and DRG is listed. I will go to their site and see if it's still around.
1. Lunch - Michael Rupert
2. He'll Never Know - Pamela Myers
3. I Never Danced With You - Laurie Beechman
4. Requiem for a Lightweight - Brian Mitchell, Diane Delano and Mark Morales
5. A Man Like Me - Michael Rupert and Barney Martin
6. Skyline - Brian Mitchell, Kim Carnes and B.J. Thomas
7. Time Stands Still - Davis Gaines
8. I'm No Angel - Faith Prince
9. Why Fall At All - Melissa Manchester
10. Perfectly Alone - Carol Burnett
11. Lunch Concerto - Richard Carpenter *
All songs written by Steve Dorff and John Bettis
*Arranged by Richard Carpenter
-
I'll give it a try. Here's the CD cover.
-
We seem not to be in Widescreen. I'll leave it unless I get complaints.
Now I must get back to work. Stop interrupting me ;-)
-
Did anyone else find Jerry Mahoney creepy and scary?
Not me. The one I didn't care for was Mortimer Snerd. Not that I was afraid of him--I was impatient. It seemed that things had to be endlessly explained to him.
I don't think I was ever afraid of a ventriloquist's dummy until William Goldman's Magic.

The lisitening and watching for der B and myself has been determined, of course, by grandlads Alex and William. And it's amazing how properly exposing the lads can change the environment.
Der B decided to buy the twosome a CD player for their room. It's nothing fancy, but nice, in a squashed-sphere kind of way. Of course, buying them the CD player would have meant nothing if we didn't also buy them some CDs.
We therefor raided the Best Buy on Saturday, to find them music they might like. We found them the soundtracks to Tarzan and Mary Poppins, various other Disney discs, and der Brucer insisted they would like a collection of Country-Western story songs.
The lads were thrilled to be given this new treasure. Their mother was less impressed; since she never listens to music, she doesn't understand why they would. Their father was of the opinion that the only reason they were listening to the music was because Grampa was there, and as soon as we left they'd ignore it.
Yeah, right.
On to the DVDs. Monday started with Mary Poppins, already on the player when we arrived. Then, while Alex was working on his homework, William spotted my copy of the Yellow Submarine DVD, which I had brought along just in case. We watched that next, and Alex, who joined us a half-hour into the film, asked if we could watch it again. So we did. (And Alex recognized the song "When I'm Sixty-Four," which he had heard once, on the Lix Calloway CD And the Beat Goes On, the week before. The lad has some memory!)
Tuesday, while we were doing our errands, Alex spotted the "Songtrack" CD of Yellow Submarine in my car stash, and asked for it to be played, so I put it on. Pretty soon, he was asking for particular numbers, relying on memory from watching the DVD. That night, I decided to give them the CD. "You mean, it's our's?" their eyes widened. Yes. "You mean, forever?" I smiled and said yes.
They were thrilled.
Those two are far more ready for music than their parents realize. With any luck, we've created a couple of little monsters!

Yesterday, der Brucer watched the DVD entertainment called King Arthur. He found it boring. :P

LUNCH had a production at Pittsburgh's Civic Light Opera a few years ago. It stunk to high heaven and fortunately, that's all I can remember about it.
I do like "Time Stands Still" from its score.

I just heard GWB talking about how the Iraqui people should all put their thoughts of personal safety away and go and vote for people who are too afraid to even have their names on thje ballots, to make it look like his "Plan" such that it is, is working
( I may have paraphased a bit here)
and suddenly a song sprang to mind..yes, unlikely as that may be, a song sprang to mind and here is a snippet:
"Go, ye heroes, go to glory,
Though you die in combat gory,
Ye shall live in song and story.
Go to immortality!
Go to death, and go to slaughter;
Die, and every Cornish daughter
With her tears your grave shall water.
Go, ye heroes, go and die!"
HERE ENDETH THE RANT

I always associate the Jerry Mahoney Club with the New York blackout of 1965. That's what I was watching when the lights went out!!!
-
Media check:
DVD: Various episodes of WAGON TRAIN
CD: Yvonne DeCarlo (in care of DR Michael Shayne), and the soundtrack of Pakeezah (again)! JRand54 got me hooked!
and my Bollywood movie this week is: TERE GHAR KE SAMNE (1963) which I started watching last night...a very amusing comedy starring Dev Anand and Nutan.

I wonder if Mr. Guy Haines would have any interest in singing "Anthem" from "Chess"
In my cd player..Chess!!

Chess always makes me think of DR WFO

..remember sittng on the floor in your media room listening to it, DR Dr Orr? :D
-
I’d like to join DR RON, give my vote to Elton John’s songs for a new record, dear BK. And...besides the songs DR RON mentioned, Your Song, Levon and Can You Feel The Love Tonight would be given.

Oh, Dr Ozderek congratulations on becoming a Full Member..Sr. Member is next!! :D

Speaking of Elton John songs for Mr. Guy Haines, what do you think he would think of Amoreena?
"Amoreena"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Tumbleweed Connection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing fit to burst upon each other
I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening
The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin
My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open
While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley
Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey
Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child

Debra/Vixmom, thanks for the clarification on status. I forget how many it takes to get to Senior Member (I guess it's my age, being a Senior Member already at least according to AARP)
Oh, Dr Ozderek congratulations on becoming a Full Member..Sr. Member is next!!
I had forgotten that. You are approaching your ascension though. A mere 68 posts and you will reside up here among the Gods.

Debra/Vixmom, thanks for the clarification on status. I forget how many it takes to get to Senior Member
I only know 'cause I am one at the moment!
I am right behind you in AARP land....

I'm already missing DR François. The weekend does not seem the same.. Being at the computer at 2.50am is a touch different too!
Congratulations OzDerek - so pleased that your media watch included "Magnolias" and not those of the Steel kind!
-
BTW Ben, any luck with cancellations for "Ball" ?
-
Many, many thanks to DR Elmore for the copy of LADY IN THE DARK he gave me. It's an interesting production. I assume since this soundtrack was made, the video of the show is also available for viewing. The next time I'm in NYC, I'll have to drop my the Museum of TV and Radio and watch it.
Ann Sothern's vocal work is variable in quality, but I'm sure seeing AND hearing her on TV would be a different experience since she had such presence. It was never just about her singing voice. Carleton Carpenter did just fine with "Tchaikovsky."
The more I hear this score in its various versions, the more I like it.

Friday Media Check:

Not so far (cancellations for After the Ball). We are entertaining tomorrow so Saturday is out anyway. But we will try for Sunday.
-
[sigh] It never rains but it pours. TOnight at 10, there are three shows I'd like to see: USA'S MONK, CBS' NUMBERS, and NBC's MEDICAL INVESTIGATION. Thankfully, there are VCRs and DVRs to capture everything so nothing will be missed, but why do certain time periods get cluttered with so many interesting shows and other nights are wastelands?

The roofers are here and are making lots of noise.

-
The roofers are here and are making lots of noise.
There is a big condo complex going up in the lot across the narrow side street from my house (meaning that the machines are very close). It has been going on two months, and I suspect it'll be four to six more months of beeping bulldozers and rumbling earth packers that make my entire house vibrate to its foundations. I have not been a happy camper about it.
-
"Once upon a time I was falafel in love,
But now I only falafel apart.
Nothing I can do--
A total eclipse of the heart."
-
Well, I was a bit off in my prediction that the rain had stopped. it's coming down pretty good right now. I do hope that whatever stop-gap measures were done on the roof work. Because if they don't, I think the bedroom will become a dangerous place, and not in a good way. By allowing all this time to go by and still having not fixed the floorboards, if water gets down there, who knows if they'll even hold. As it is, my dresser, normally against the wall, is practically up against the bed. We'll be having a major discussion about this, inconvenience-wise, when all is said and done. Here's hoping this rain comes and goes quickly. So far, the leak off the kitchen area has not appeared and so far water is not finding its way under the doors from the kitchen to the yard, and from the yard to the den. That's a good thing, so maybe their cleaning of the roof and all the drains did some good. I just hope that whatever they put up there to stop those leaks is working.

Not to beat a dead horse - but I do have the sheet music for "Zing a Little Zong" but it only has one chorus and Bing and Jane sing two more witty ones in the movie.
Dave Willock is very funny (although he is MOST funny in QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE) and I loved him as Cynthia Pepper's father on tv in MARGIE.
Vixmom - I still have my Farfel mug as well, and I must say the way that dog turned its head and snapped its mouth made me laugh and laugh.
DRMBARNUM that picture of that puppet scares me, too. No wonder there are so many atheists in the world.
DRGEORGE - Oh my, I didn't realize I owned such a treasure. I got it when the local Civic Theatre was doing the R/H revue and I was putting together a display case for the lobby. I think it cost me $9.99!
Great news from SWW and derBrucer concerning the music from another room! Could have been worse....you could've bought them drums!

We really didn't need any more of this fershluganah rain, and it is REALLY coming down hard now. Oh, well, maybe it will let up soon.
-
I had a Jerry Mahoney dummy when I was a kid. I wanted to be a ventriloquist. No joke. Jerry and I were the "emcees" at my 2nd grade Christmas Pageant (remember when schools could have Christmas Pageants?).
Another great Marcos Valle duet, BK: Check out Seu Encanto, which was Americanized and charted (by Andy Williams among others) as The Face I Love. Beautiful jazz waltz. I bet Grant knows all of these Valle tunes--one of the great post-Jobim Brasilian singer/songwriters.
CD: Marcos Valle, Wanda Sa & Roberto Menescal, Bossa Among Friends
DVD: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Bk, as I recall you also have this same Yvonne DeCarlo CD which I received yesterday...what did you think if it?
I was very surprised at what a fine singer she is...and a fine selection of songs, I thought.

I have only one thing to say to this fershluganah rain: FALAFEL. There, I've said it and I'm glad.

By the way (BTW, in Internet lingo) are any of you feeling heady?
-
Good Morning! Good Just-Afternoon!
Well... Of course, I ended up futzing with mynew iBook for another or hour or so after logging off. The one thing I will have to get used to - and it's a good thing - is just how quiet the hard drive and the CD/DVD-ROM drives are. I got so used to the little clicks and hums on my old Compaq laptop - and most PCs. I tried playing a DVD last night, and I wasn't sure it was actually working since I didn't hear it working. But a few seconds later, the DVD player screen popped up, so... :)
And I will not go back to the store today to shop for peripherals. Nope. Na' gonna do it.
-Besides, since I slept in, I don't have time now to head over to the store, so... :-\
The only thing I may need to go back for is an extra USB cable so that I can transfer some stuff over from my old laptop. But I think I'll just be e-mailing most of that stuff to myself, since I really don't have that much stuff on there. -Remember the days when a 2GIG HARDdrive was BIG!
:P

I'm assuming that because falafel is the word of the day, we must now become acolytes (hmmm....where have I heard that word) of Bill O'Reilly? Please, NOOOOOOOO. Another attitudinal "conservative" with a deviant private life.
-
I, too, am amazed by how quiet the Powerbook is. My Dell was so noisy it was actually distracting to work with all those fans and internal clicks and pops. This sucker is QUIET.
-
I must say, for one who rarely sits at the piano anymore, I've been there quite a lot in the last eight months. I'm enjoying playing through songs and rediscovering things I haven't heard in a bit. I just added another to the "finals".
-
RE: Lunch - I have the CD (I think), and the vocal selections book (I definitely know I have that). Quite the roster of singers on the CD. I even seem to remember a floor display for it at Tower Records, big posters too. They were really trying to make it the next big thing. I think I may have listened to the CD once, at the most twice. Eh...
And the vocal selections book is apparently taken right from the piano/conductor's score since parts of the accompaniments are "sketchy" and look like instrumental cues. It's just a weird, inconvenient read.
-
Well, I got a lot of livin' to do, so to speak, this afternoon.
Be back...
Laters...
-
Ohhh, pretty FALAFEL!
elmore, George Davis married Lotte Lenya, then assorted sailors from the Brooklyn Navy Yard??? Well, I guess being married to Lotte Lenya could send one to the Brooklyn Navy Yard... Oh...oh...wait, I didn't see that comma...Never mind!
MBarnum, is Scott Miller (alias Denny Miller...sometimes billed as Denny Scott Miller, I believe) in any of your Wagon Train Episodes?
Yesterday, my friend Eric Johnson sent me back a magazine that had a picture of him from my Sherlock Holmes play, THE EBONY APE, that was in Scarlet Street. Silly boy. It was his to keep and I must now send it back to him. But what was interesting was that the magazine (from 2003, #49) was a vertiable HainesHisWay issue...there's an article on me, there's an article on BK and Jeepers Creepers, there are articles by MBarnum on muscleman actors, Mark Forest and Reg Lewis, and a full-page ad for Jeepers Creepers.
CD: HAINESHISWAY, what else? All this talk of a new album has whetted my appetite. Also PRINCE OF FOXES. And The Film Music Society is supposed to be mailing out my copy of Miklos Rozsa's restored JUNGLE BOOK with an interview of the Maestro by my pal, historian Rudy Behlmer. Since they're across the hill in the valley, maybe I'll have it by tomorrow's mail.

Congrats on the switch to APPLE DRJOSE! It seems to be a trend.
DRs LAURA and MATtH - think how quiet it will be when they finally STOP?
-
Rain, rain, go away,
Don't come again some other day for at least four months.
-
Why is it that you rarely sit at the piano anymore?
-
Well, up until eight months ago (when I was doing the Writer's Block songs) I just never sat down there (this was in the other house). Sometimes I'd noodle whilst standing, but I just never went near it. Then, starting with the Writer's Block songs, I began to enjoy it, and then came What If, and then I've just become a regular again.

I don't have Yvonne De Carlo CD; but I did dinner theatre with her back in the late Sevenites in a very funny British sex farce... MOVE OVER, MRS. MARKHAM by Ray Cooney.
-
DR td - So sorry to hear about your loss of Minx.
DR Ann - You didn't need bad job news just as you were beginning to feel better! Hope it works out for you.
Friday media check:
CD (car) - audiobook, David McCullough's bio of John Adams. At our staff development day last fall, I attended a session put on by Recorded Books, Inc., which featured the audio reader Johnny Heller. There were doorprizes and I got to pick any one item from the company's catalog.
iPod - guitar music performed by a Dayton-area musician, Jim McCutcheon. He's very talented and a very gracious person. You can visit him at:
jim.mccutcheon.biz (http://jim.mccutcheon.biz)
DVD - Midsomer Murders "Market for Murder." DH Richard said he started to watch this last night while I was at work (he's an avid British mystery fan). When he realized it was all about a ladies book group, he decided to save it for us to watch together. What a sweetie, huh?
-
Miss De Carlo always seemed like a randy type to me.
And speaking of randy, perhaps I should tell the amusing tale of The Randy Vicar and the Falafel.
-
BK, other than noodling around for a couple of minutes on my piano, I've never heard you play. Dan from erstwhile MUSIC & MEMORIES ("The vinyl resting place") once told me you played brilliantly, by the way. What's Dan's last name?...I've completely forgotten it...Alvino?

What is the name of this magazine? (Enquiring minds want to know!)
BTW how goes your new car search?
-
Ohhh, pretty FALAFEL!
MBarnum, is Scott Miller (alias Denny Miller...sometimes billed as Denny Scott Miller, I believe) in any of your Wagon Train Episodes?
I don't know yet, but I am hoping so...I like him. All I know is that one episode guest stars the cute and lovely Ms. Joan Freeman, which is why I picked up the DVD.

Of Ms. De Carlo's randiness remind me sometime and I will tell you an amusing story...not suitable for a family site like this!

What is the name of this magazine? (Enquiring minds want to know!)
Scarlet Street. It is available at your local Borders and some Barnes and Nobles.
DVD reviews by our own TD and JRand54 are included in that same issue, as well, as I recall.

vixmom, the mag's name is Scarlet Street. They actually have a website: www.scarletstreet.com

DR Jose, have fun with your new Mac!

Did anyone else find Jerry Mahoney creepy and scary?
So of course I had to go to www.paulwinchell.com to find a picture for those unenlightened souls who have not been exposed to Winchell and his friends. Here are, left to right, Jerry Mahoney, Paul Winchell, and Knucklehead Smiff. I haven't found a picture of Farfel yet.
Ain't the internet great? Did y'all know that Paul Winchell was the voice of Tigger for Disney? That he inserted the phrase "Ta Ta for now!" into the script against Disney's express orders?
Did you know that he invented the original patented version of the artificial heart (http://www.paulwinchell.com/artificialheart.htm)? And the disposable razor? That he has written a book on Christian theology (http://www.paulwinchell.com/theology.htm) from a Deist perspective? It is available on the internet in pdf format, for those of you interested in Christian theology from a Deist perspective.
The things you learn!
-
I am bored and simply cannot wait to get off of work at noon!
I will luncheon with my buddy Mark and then maybe check out an estate sale in West Salem.
Tonight I am going to see RAY with my sister and brother-in-law this evening.

TD, now are you doing today? I have been thinking about you.
-
And vibes to DR Jay, who is also going through a rough time right now.

Thanks! I misread your original post, so missed the name...I may just get me a copy!!
And the car search?

For Mr. Guy Haines: "Wait Till You See Her" by Rogers & Hart, from By Jupiter, I believe.
-
Heeeeere's Farfel!
-
Yep, it's Dan Alvino. Last I heard he was working at some book outlet in Burbank. I'd love to see him - maybe I'll drive out there and see if I can find him.
-
Ain't the internet great? Did y'all know that Paul Winchell was the voice of Tigger for Disney? That he inserted the phrase "Ta Ta for now!" into the script against Disney's express orders?

I knew that too!!

I had no idea!!! (or ideer)

Heeeeere's Farfel!
Is that Jimmy Dean wioth him?

For Guy Haines:
Anyone Can Whistle
Sometimes A Day Goes By
(both may have been mentioned, but I didn't feel like wading through all the previous posts to find out)
-
Good morning all
Vibes to DR's Jane and Jay and continuting vibes to td. Hope you are all doing better today.
Congrats to Jose for joining the ranks of us wise Mac people. And btw, wonderful wonderful job on What If. DR Jed and I watched it the other night and agreed that you are simply marvelous.
I will soon be leaving my little apartment for the first time (except for taking out the trash) in a week, to get the staples removed from my incision. They really do look like staples, and it's quite a sight to see. I took a picture of them last night with my cell camera. I would post it here, but I have no wish to offend or upset any of our DR's.
Off I go...
-
Wait till you see her,
See how she looks.
Wiat till you hear her laugh.
Painters of paintings, writers of books,
They couldn't tell the half.
Wait till you feel the warmth of her glance,
Simple and sweet and wise.
All of it lovely, all of it thrilling.
I'll never be willing to free her.
When you see her,
You won't believe your eyes.
Very simple and poignant for Hart, with a nice rhythmic twist at the end. This is quoted from memory, and the only word I'm not sure of is "lovely". "Loving"? I know it from Liza Minelli's version with the pronouns changed.
-
DR vixmom: You know oh so very many things!
-
That I knew!
I knew that too!! I had no idea!!! (or ideer)
Yet nary a mention here of his being the voice behind all those "Scrubbing Bubbles" for all those years.....
-
My thoughts are with all those who have recently lost beloved pets, including DR TD.
-
vixmom, the car search goes on.
BK, I think I was the one who told you Dan was running an A &S book outlet in Burbank in what used to be the Golden Mall. It's in that cluster of shops that runs along San Fernando Road right before it dead ends into the new shopping mall, between Olive and Magnolia. The last time I saw him there was about year and half ago. I'm not even sure the book shop is still there. Those outlet/remainder shops come and go pretty fast.
-
Ohhh, pretty FALAFEL!
elmore, George Davis married Lotte Lenya, then assorted sailors from the Brooklyn Navy Yard??? Well, I guess being married to Lotte Lenya could send one to the Brooklyn Navy Yard... Oh...oh...wait, I didn't see that comma...Never mind!
DRPogue, Lenya married George Davis sometime after Weill's death in 1950. They were married until his death, and Davis encouraged her to get back to performing and to promote the music of Kurt Weill. He was also very gay, and I gather the sailors on Middaugh Street were primarily his pickups. According to Donald Spoto's Lenya bio, she was bisexual, although the only lesbian affair I remember in the book was with dancer Tilly Losch who played Anna 2 to her Anna 1 in the Brecht-Weill SEVEN DEADLY SINS.
-
DR td: Condolences on the passing of Minx. All dogs, you know, go to heaven. It wouldn't be heaven without dogs.
DR Ann: Health vibes. As for posting the picture, I recall my college friends always delighted in pictures of women with staples in their abdomens.
-
Well, it's my lunch break! The last hour I worked on the balcony, which contains the performing arts books, art and architecture. It's never busy there so I looked at a new paperback on the worst movies; it looked like a Michael Barnum Festival!
-
William F. Orr, it is "all of it lovely". I check my Complete Lyrics of Lorenz Hart. I know it from a lovely version of it by Bobby Short. It's from a show BY JUPITER which has several Rogers/Hart songs Mr. Haines might wish to take a look at:
Nobody's Heart Belongs To Me (Heigh Ho, who cares?)
Everything I've Got Belongs To You -- This is a great duet song, which Guy is looking for, originally done by Ray Bolger and Benay Venuta with lyrics like: "I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist/And the perfect wrist to give your neck a twist/ There are hammerlock holds/I've master a few/And everything I've got belongs to you
The other song from this show that I think would be good for Guy is one I mentioned yesterday, NOTHING TO DO BUT RELAX:
Nothing to do but relax
'Neath the eucalyptus trees
flat on our beautiful backs
Healthy and dumb.
Warm days are nice enough
Summer has come.
And we'll bring ice enough
For our rum.
Nothing to do but make love,
Two demented butterflies,
Time with a flutter flies
While the bees make wax
And we have nothing to do but relax.
-

If Mr Haines is looking for "Everything I've Got," all he has to do is ask me since I have a score to BY JUPITER, a score I love nearly as much as THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE! Unfortunately, the great "Nothng to Do But Relax," which Ben Bagley recorded, is unpublished, and I wish R&H would consider doing a book of the unpublished songs.
Back to work, Heigh Ho!
-
If there are no dogs in Heaven, I ain't going. Of course, who says it's my choice? I may not be going anyway...certainly there must be those who wish me a plummet as opposed an ascension.
-
Those two are far more ready for music than their parents realize. With any luck, we've created a couple of little monsters!
Woody, two words: Stephen Sondheim! ;)
-
Guy is looking for duet songs; I'm merely recommending Everything I Got. But I think it would be a good one. I'm fond of Blossom Dearie's rendition of Nothing To Do But Relax on the Bagley album...the only version I've ever heard. I think Mr. Haines could give it the same sort of genial insousiance that he conveys on If I Had My Druthers.
-
So of course to get the lyric right I google. It's always hit and miss with song lyrics, because so many people post them from listening to records, and you see all the mondegreens.
From www.spiritofsinatra.com :
Painters of painting, drivers of gloom never could tell the height
But a Ray Charles site tells me, quite correctly, that it is
Pensive and sweet and wise (not "simple")
Actually, I've seen a lot of those drivers of gloom on my morning commute, Mr. Sinatra.
-
elmore, it's always cringing to see my spelling errors appear in other people's posts when they re-print my post. It is, of course, Nobody's Heart Belongs to Me, which I've corrected now in the original.
I, too, love BOYS FROM SYRACUSE. Do you have the complete score to BY JUPITER because you worked on a restoration recording of it...Don't I remember something about that in your unseemingly interview? If so, please refresh my memory...this is probably a recording I should have.
-
WFO, "pensive and sweet and wise" is correct...at least according to the book and Bobby Short.
-
I went back and scanned your unseemly interview, elmore. Alas, I was thinking of JUBILEE...not BY JUPITER. But I probably need JUBILEE too!
-
So many wonderful song suggestions. Ultimately, it all boils down to fifteen songs and those songs have to work with each other to make a satisfying album. I love this part - just hearing old songs, new songs, familiar and unfamiliar songs.
-
TD, now are you doing today? I have been thinking about you.
i'm still sorta-sorta. going to bed last night without taking her for her late-night walk was hard, but even more difficult was getting up this morning and NOT taking her for her long morning walk.
I spent a great deal of time playing with Miss Dixie Bell, though and sorting through all of the sympathetic missives arriving by email.
still teary-eyed when i turn around from the computer to NOT see her there behind me on 'her' sofa. . .
As for a Media Check, since one of Minx' quirks was to sit very close to the speakers during the opening segment of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, I watched that up until Harve Presnell's appearance, in her memory. The other thing she really was fond of was me hitting a high G, but, it's still a little early in the day for that. besides, it would be quite unseemly for me to go that high before 8pm.
my dear pal sent me the following last night once he had the news.
" Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together... "

DR WFO - thanks for SCARING me to death with that Jerry Mahoney picture!
At least the Farfel one settled me down a bit. There used to be a Jerry Mahoney doll in the prop room at the Phoenix Theatre - it had been used in THREE GUYS NAKED FROM THE WAIST DOWN - and it was always in a different place - even though no one touched it. It just moved around by itself...I know it did.
DR CP - Just tell the story and let the family skip over the post. We need Yvonne (Peggy) deCarlo information. In fact she should be followed around by someone with a pen writing down everything she says.
Back issues of Scarlet Street are available for a reasonable price VIXMOM, and it is an interesting magazine. The forums are lively at times as well.
DR CP - I think you missed my post a couple of days ago. I saw a different Gorton's Fisherman the other day....has Denny moved on?
-
Yes td - we have seen that lovely missive before here at HHW - and I am happy that someone sent it to you. I was thinking of it last night....
-
DR vixmom: You know oh so very many things!
That is from hanging out with the likes of you!!~
-
Back issues of Scarlet Street are available for a reasonable price VIXMOM, and it is an interesting magazine. The forums are lively at times as well.
Since so many Hainsies/Kilmlets are in the issue DR CP mentioned, I did just order it. When I get it and have had a good read, I may have to send it "round robin" and cross county to gather the autographs of all you esteemed HHW contributers!!
:D

Okay, now you've reminded me of a dummy that frightened me more than the one Anthony Hopkins partnered with in Magic--the little wooden freak in The Devil Doll.

DRGeorge, ME AND JULIET is out of print? I can burn you a CD if you'd like.
Yes! Thank you!! I'd love a copy!

William F. Orr, it is "all of it lovely". I check my Complete Lyrics of Lorenz Hart. I know it from a lovely version of it by Bobby Short.
"Oy!" he said, slapping his forehead with the palm of his hand. Because he has The Complete Lyrics of Lorenz Hart sitting on the shelf in his office within easy reach of the computer.
And yes, Mr. Guy Haines must do something by Weill.
For uptempo, "Nowhere to Go But Up" from Knickerbocker Holiday. Or "It Never Was You". I don't think "That's Him" (One Touch of Venus) would quite work for a male vocalist, no matter what perspective you use. Pity, because it is truly charming and a Guy Haines kind of song.
Has a man ever recorded "The Story of Jenny"? Now that's a song Bobby Darin should have got his teeth into!
But I ramble. Of course, as Steven Schwartz said, "Teachers belong where they can ramble."
-
I didn’t post or visit the site yesterday because I had a deadline – which I’ve now met. But I also didn’t post or read the posts because I was truly upset by Wednesday’s events. I tried posting on Wednesday night as if nothing had happened. I made the usual joking posts, asked questions, made observations, but my heart wasn’t in it.
I’ve now had time to reflect and here’s what I’ve decided.
I cannot come back to Haines His Way unless the member who posted a post that, in my opinion, and the opinion of over twenty messages I received, overstepped the boundaries of decorum and good taste, apologizes. What makes this site unique -- along with the sparkling conversation and wonderfully bright and kind people who populate it -- is the civilized and caring attitudes we exhibit toward one another. Not that we cannot have disagreements. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I would be suspicious of anyone who agreed with every single pearl of wisdom that dropped out of my mouth.
But the particular post to which I refer, regardless of how I feel about its objective accuracy, has no place on this website. It discussed private and delicate matters and did not belong in a public forum. I asked Bruce at the time that he request of the member the removal of the post. Bruce, although sympathetic, felt that this would be censorship and declined to do so. I totally understand his viewpoint. But I also understand that I cannot remain here unless the member who posted that particular post simply apologizes on the site – with no editorial comment. Once this is done, I’ll be happy to continue on HHW and consider the whole thing the blip in the universe it truly was. If, however, the member is unwilling to do so, then, as much as I cherish the friendships which are a direct result of HHW and Bruce; as much as I consider the site a second home; and as much as I truly enjoy taking part in the daily ritual of reading the Notes, discussing the TOD, sharing in the lives of each person here – in spite of all that, I cannot return.
I would ask of the DRs that, whatever happens, they not take sides in this on the site. There is no need for any more unpleasantness than this thing has already caused.
Good vibes to you all.
-
Before I go, OzDerek, your next level (IIRC) is the infamous GOD. You need 501 posts to reach that level, so get to work young man!
Oh dear ~ almost 300 posts to go .... can you lovely folk at HHW cope with that many "oh so witty" (not) postings from the DR?
Hmmmm.....
;D
-
I think that Jerry Mahoney was the model for all those freaky murdering ventriloquist dummies in various Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and rip-off movies that repeat the theme endlessly. I remember one in Friday the Thirteen, the television series, not to be confused with the forty-seven movie sequels with the same title.
-
Oh, Dr Ozderek congratulations on becoming a Full Member..Sr. Member is next!!
I had forgotten that. You are approaching your ascension though. A mere 68 posts and you will reside up here among the Gods.
Consider yourselves relieved of the Aussie puns ... well, at least after the next 68 postings .....
BE AFRAID .... BE VERY AFRAID
:o :o :o :o :o

Okay, now you've reminded me of a dummy that frightened me more than the one Anthony Hopkins partnered with in Magic--the little wooden freak in The Devil Doll.
What about the one on the Twilight Zone story.....
-
I am Talking Tina and I am going to KILL YOU!
-
Does anyone know anything about a 1994 studio recording of a show called Lunch? Miss Paige just played a track from the show. It was Carol Burnett singing a song called Alone. Intriguing. I don't know anything about the show. I shall have to interrupt my work to surf the net and find what I can about this concoction.
I have this CD. I don't listen to it very often, but I do like it a lot. I love Faith Prince's song ("I'm No Angel" which has the line, "Lick me like a stamp" :o ) and Laurie Beechman's song is just beautiful (she could do no wrong...in my humble opinion).
-
I am Talking Tina and I am going to KILL YOU!
Yeah, that one too... I think that one is the REAL reason that my Daddy wouldn't buy me the Chatty Cathy doll I wanted one Christmas.....
-
Wanna buy some Girl Scout Cookies?
Are they made from real Girl Scouts?
-
Okay, now you've reminded me of a dummy that frightened me more than the one Anthony Hopkins partnered with in Magic--the little wooden freak in The Devil Doll.
... and what about the voodoo doll in the Karen Black film "Trilogy of Terror" .. scared the #$% out of me when i was a kid!

Today's Hint For Roofers:
Do not hang your jacket over the water heater flue, as the blaring smoke alarm and smoky house tends to frighten the homeowner.

What about the one on the Twilight Zone story.....
The episode was entitled "The Dummy" , it's from 1962. The dummy is named Willy..Scary scary story...especially when you are 6....it still creeps me out..

They could be...

I do not kowtow to grandstanding emotional blackmail and ultimatiums.
I will most certainly not apologize for nor remove posts that at least four people on this site know to be a true, accurate, and dispassionate assessment of the origins of this disturbance.
And I will NOT apologize for nor remove posts that also defend me against savagely blatant lies...which any rational examination of Wednesday's posts will prove.
Your characterization of Bruce's sympathy is certainly not mine, given the conversations I've had with him. He was in no way upset with me at dinner last night.
In fact, if the posts are removed, I will leave the site.
Despite your appeal for people not to take sides, that is precisely what you're appealing for. Who do you like better? Him or me? You better choose or I'm going to throw a hissy fit! Pout! Pout! Lower lip on the floor!
We were all having a pretty nice time here today before this overwrought drama reared its head again. Just as we were the other day before someone dragged on their private angst.
All this hoo-ha is simply about a woman spurned when her inappropriate sense of entitlement was denied. Nothing more. And that's still what it's about!
-
Oh dear.

Oh, dear, indeed! Zzzzzzzzz!

How about this charming fellow?

For the record, Neither Panni and I are the engine of this site. It survived and flourished quite well without either of us before. It will continue to do so, zip along right finely, if either or both of us depart.

I have had a busy day and am now working at home (can't you tell?), so I can do laundry and clean the home environment before my previously unexpected weekend guests arrive in the morning..... It will be fun, but will be a mad rush to get the place in order before they arrive. Yikes!

Now there's a real ice-breaker. As a deathly pall hangs over the room.

Hello all ...
well, it is 8.30am Saturday ... a light rain is falling and I am listening to a cd that my dear friend Tomovoz made for me ....
... just out of interest, where is everybody located? sometimes i don't know whether to say it's today, yesterday or tomorrow .....!
-
Yep, 'The Dummy" is one of the most frightening of all TZ episodes, and that last lingering image of dummy and man can still give me nightmares.
However, I loved Farfel. Also, Paul Winchell had one of the funniest guest spots ever on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW with a new puppet just for the episode. It's still hilarious.

YIKES!!! DtM - I am getting delirious!

Hello WFO.
Another DR has suggested that Guy record "Yesterday When I Was Young". I think there is an Aznavour line in there which is quite relevant this week. (but not to Guy).
-
A friend called to ask to borrow a DVD for his family to view tonight. He didn't want an animated movie. I went though some of the collection and came up with things like the STUART LITTLE films, MOUSE HUNT, 101 and 102 Dalmatians (Glenn Close live action versions), some MUPPET SHOW episodes and their first three movies which I still think are the best, THE ROCKETEER, SPY KIDS 3-D, THE ABSENT MINDED PROFESSOR, BABE 1 and 2, and then my eyes fell on SONG OF THE SOUTH .
Yes, I know it has animation, but I wonder if kids today would find it too slow between B'rer Rabbit stories. Anyway, the choice will be his.

OzDerek, I'm in New York, Manhattan, the Center of the World, in some folks opinions. I know there will be others to counter that viewpoint ;-)
Are you, OzDerek, near our beloved TomovOz?
-
DR OzDerek.. It's good morning. I am about 30 miles South East of Thornbury Heights. Does that help?
-
Just read your post DR Ben. About 75 minutes car drive! "Beloved" I like.
-
Hello, DR WFO.
It has been a week, hasn't it?
-
Are you, OzDerek, near our beloved TomovOz?
Good morning, afternoon, evening (that covers ALL bases) ...
I am approximately one hour (drive) away from Tomovoz.
Probably about 20 hours (flying) from New York.
Does that mean if I leave today, I arrive yesterday ::) ::) ::)
-

Is Guy a Brel fan? Fanette?

I am going to repost something that our dear Jose posted last night. I want everyone here to read it very very carefully. Here it is:
"And after reading through all the posts yesterday that had been posted since I had posted in the morning...
This is a very wonderful place on the internet. One big happy family. Yes, dysfunctional at times, but what family is truly "functional" anyway? It's nice to have a place where we all can talk about our daily lives, from the big issues down to the trivialities. We can laugh. We can cry. We can smile. We can offer words of comfort, and hearty pats on the back. We can talk about "pudding" and "underpants" in the same sentence. -It may not be pretty, but where else on the net could those two words be put in the same sentence, as BK would say - and I think he did.
Best of all, we can move on.
And we did."
But apparently not everyone can. I found the post that re-instigated this mess totally unacceptable and unnecessary. As Jose so eloquently said, we'd moved on. Anything else should have been done privately. I am truly sorry that dear reader Panni could not let this go, and that she felt it necessary to make this post today. She has informed me she's leaving the site. I find that totally unnecessary too, especially since, as Jose points out, we've had this sort of thing before, and much worse, and we get over it and move on. However, if that's her decision because she simply cannot let things go, then that is her decision. I'm sure we'll all miss her, and maybe she'll come back after a time. But there was simply no reason that I can see to have dredged this up again when we all were pretty much back to normal. Well, people come, people go, like Grand Hotel. I love our site, I love our hainsies/kimlets, I have tried my damndest to keep things bright through this tempest in a teapot, and I would only hope that NO ONE take sides in this and that no one leaves the site because they took sides. This is not a black-and-white situation. There are no "victims" and there are no "evil bad people". I adore you all - now LET'S GET BACK TO WHAT WE'RE ABOUT.
Signed,
BK Falafel.

Futureman!!
So OzDerek the Blue Fairy is out there You will get to be a man in the future. Maybe there is hope for all of us in this brave new world.
-
Good morning, afternoon, evening (that covers ALL bases) ...
I am approximately one hour (drive) away from Tomovoz.
Two hours with OzDerek driving his car. Smokey the Bandit.
-
Falafel, I say! Falafel!
-
I like some Brel a lot.
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
-
DR OzDerek.. It's good morning. I am about 30 miles South East of Thornbury Heights. Does that help?
Ha Ha Tomovoz!
For all those not in the know, I live in Thornbury - about 15 mins outside of the main city of Melbourne.
My modest accommodation, which Tomovoz and I refer to as "Thornbury Heights" is hardly palatial, however it is fit for a king (or a queen!)
:)
-
Of course, Guy Haines could always record my translation of Brel's La Chanson des Vieux Amants, since Karen Akers promised she would twenty-four years ago and never did. Yes, he could.
-
So OzDerek the Blue Fairy is out there
Hmm .. as your photo on HHW has you in a blue top, does this make YOU the blue fairy????????????
;D
-
Only because Blau's translation is so dreadful.
Blau's lyric for "Carousel", i.e. "Valse à mil temps" is, however, in my opinion, superior to the original.
-
Wish Upon a Star, Derek. Hi Diddley Dee.

Hey Bill. I just thought the GS's do have a lovely double chocolate chocolate chip that Joey would adore!!!

Let us have no pall over the room. I do know some people would like to have a Paul (as in Haber) over the room. He's been visiting our site recently - I hope he hasn't been scared away.
-
falafel and amen to Mr. BK!
-
Perhaps a falafel dance would lighten then mood
-
THE mood, it's hard to type while doing the falafel dance
-
Or over a couch...
-
...not that there's anything wrong with that...
-
And the falafel dance is such a heady dance
-
maybe we could all post lots of falafel jokes ... we could call it the FALAUGHEL hour ....
-
Falafel dance! Where's Chubby Checker when we need him?
-
maybe we could all post lots of falafel jokes ... we could call it the FALAUGHEL hour ....
and I'm sure some would be falawful jokes

Also on tonight on TCM is Marilyn Miller in SUNNY. If you've never seen this creaky old film, it's worth it to see Marilyn Miller, one of the great stars of Broadway in one of her few movie roles (of one of her biggest Broadway hits). The movie was originally made in two-strip Technicolor, but that version is long gone, so it's in B&W. However, she's made up for a Technicolor camera so she looks like a cupie doll in certain scenes with the heavy make-up. Still, worth a peep.
It's either midnight or 12:30 a.m. when it broadcasts.

So many wonderful song suggestions. Ultimately, it all boils down to fifteen songs and those songs have to work with each other to make a satisfying album. I love this part - just hearing old songs, new songs, familiar and unfamiliar songs.
Think Mancini, too....
...Two For the Road...(a clever guy can make a "duet" out of that)...
...or Whistling in the Dark....
-
The Orpheum Theater in Sioux City which was restored a few years ago recently restored the original Wurlitzer Organ. To celebrate they are presenting a step back into the 1920s by having a silent film festival which includes Lon Chaney in Phantom of the Opera, Charlie Chaplin in Gold Rush, and Charlie Chaplin in A Dog's Life in the original 35MM format accompained by Dennis James on the Wurlitzer.
Sounds like fun!
-
Listening to a lovely Frank Loesser song on WMKV that might be good for Guy..."Where Are You? (Now That I Need You)" Could have a chorus of young beauties behind him...which I know he likes. If they're behind him, they can't see his face.
Limbo under the falafel! How low can you go?
-
Good afternoon all.
I am back and am now staple-free. The doctor says I am healing nicely, no infection or brusing, and should be back to normal in a month or so. Goody.

It does! Too bad I'm so far away.....
-
Oh, there's a song!
So Far Away, doesn't anhybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door...
I wonder what Mr. Haines would make of that.
-

Dr Ann is back dance!!! Did you save your staples for posterity? One of these days when you are rich and famous they will fetch a pretty penny on ebay!!!
-
Yay, Ann is sans staples.
td: Great falafel photograph.
-
Ann, do you know what they did in honor of you? They opened a store near me - Staples.
-
Welcome eight GUESTS. We're talkin' about falafel.
-
Yay, Ann is sans staples.
Is that her nome de plume? Sans Staples?
-
Good news Dr Ann, glad to hear you are recovering so well.
-
It only takes a MONTH to get back to normal?
I suppose it depends upon where you start....and all...
The TZ dummy looks like....wait for it....he looks like Donald Trump.
-
DEEP IN MY HEART is coming on TCM right now! In color and stereo!
-
Uh oh....no stereo.
-
Damn it all, now I'm hungry for falafel.
-
I'm sorry, DR Ann, but you're far more than a month away from "normal." :D
-
Hmmm.... Falafel!
I almost had falafel for dinner tonight. And I had some very good falafel whilst I was out in LA at some place on Fairfax (I think) just up a few blocks from Diamond Bakery and Canter's Deli (is it Canter's?). DR Jay recommended it to me. Very good falafel.
Maybe next time we are in L.A. I miss having a really good falafel. There is a place in the Westwood Village that has good ones.
-
Jrand - okay, technically it'll be 2 months before I'm 100% me again, but a month and I'll be able to do things like work and go to the gym without discomfort.
I am afraid, however, that it will be a while before I can limbo again :)
-
DR Jane, I am going to try to send out bagels tomorrow all egg or would like a variety?
-
I think Guy could do a nice job with "Where Was I (When They Passed Out Luck)?" from Minnie's Boys.
-
I'm sorry, DR Ann, but you're far more than a month away from "normal." :D
:P :P :P :P
-
I think my laserdisc of DEEP IN MY HEART is in stereo. I don't know why TCM wouldn't show it that way. I'll check when I go downstairs.

Falafelling in Love with Love is falafelling for make-believe!
Falafelling in Love with Love is playing the fool!
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy!
Learning to trust is just for children in school.
I falafelled in Love with Love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see!
I falafelled in Love with Love with love ever-lasting.
But Love falafelled out, with me!!
(Repeat)
-
The Dummy episode of TZ is one I caught last month sometime. It was good, but so creepy...
-
Would that be a falagel or a balafel?
Or more like a falesbian....?

I think you're absolutely correct, 'cause I think mine is, too.

DR Jane
I am eating an egg bagel and thinking of you!!
I shall try and get that package off to you tomorrow.
Do you want just egg or would lioke some pumpernickel, or rye or sesame or eveything bagels thrown in as well?
Aren't you sweet. I would love an egg bagel right now, maybe more than a falafel. I do enjoy pumpernickel but mostly egg please with a few rye, depending on how many you can send.
-
Falafelling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I can't help it
-
Jane is here. We love Jane.
How come Ann never even acknowledges all my nice posts about her. It MUST have something do with staples.
-

Okey Dokey ! Well signing off for the evening ..quality time with the family donchaknow
-
That was pretty good, Cillaliz....
Can you sing it like Marlene?

Holy moley on rye, page ten.

I'm spending quality time with a falafel.

SWW I’m enjoying your stories of the Grandlads and their appreciation of music.
Bruce it is hard for me to imagine CP has never heard you play. In my mind you still spend hours playing and singing. :)
-
I'm spending quality time with a falafel.
Only in California would such a thing be legal, I tell ya.
-
Jane, I wish he would play and sing. I hear he is almost as good as that Guy Haines fellow.
-
Guy is looking for duet songs; I'm merely recommending Everything I Got. But I think it would be a good one. I'm fond of Blossom Dearie's rendition of Nothing To Do But Relax on the Bagley album...the only version I've ever heard. I think Mr. Haines could give it the same sort of genial insousiance that he conveys on If I Had My Druthers.
I'm back! DRPogue, I'd be happy to send you or Bruce a copy of the song for Mr Haines; it's a great suggestion since I love Rodgers and Hart. I wish I had a copy of "Nothing to do but Relax," and maybe I can cadge a copy when I go to proofread the new edition of THE KING AND I. There are other great R&H duets as well; "Every Sunday Afternoon" is one of my faves, as are "Den of Iniquity," "Too Good for the Average Man," "He and She," "Just Send For Me," and I love the duet from DEAREST ENEMY "I Beg Your Pardon."
Here's the book I was browsing today. Very funny!

Today's Hint For Roofers:
Do not hang your jacket over the water heater flue, as the blaring smoke alarm and smoky house tends to frighten the homeowner.
ROTFLOL-I hope the roofer's are done soon.
-
The episode was entitled "The Dummy" , it's from 1962. The dummy is named Willy..Scary scary story...especially when you are 6....it still creeps me out..
I won't watch that. Even worse, was the episode -was it Outer Limits-with the creepy doll.
-
elmore, I was thinking HE & SHE would be a good one as well, as I was sitting in the bathtub today, persuing Hart's exquisite lyrics!
-
elmore, it's always cringing to see my spelling errors appear in other people's posts when they re-print my post. It is, of course, Nobody's Heart Belongs to Me, which I've corrected now in the original.
I, too, love BOYS FROM SYRACUSE. Do you have the complete score to BY JUPITER because you worked on a restoration recording of it...Don't I remember something about that in your unseemingly interview? If so, please refresh my memory...this is probably a recording I should have.
DRPogue, my two restorations of JUBILEE (Cole Porter) and DEAREST ENEMY (Rodgers & Hart) still await commitment to disc. At several times, Bruce and I discussed JUBILEE but I was difficult: I wanted a 2-disc set of the whole score and then an Appendix of Cole Porter songs to fill out the second disc. PS Classics has expressed an interest in recording it now since Tommy Krasker, who runs PS Classics with his partner Phillip, was my collaborator on the JUBILEE restoration. If you don't mind 3 CDs of one hour each and no tracking so it's a lot of dialogue as well as most of the score, I can send you a set of the BBC Radio-3 broadcast from Christmas week, 1999.
DEAREST ENEMY, is getting revisions from its 2002 performances at the Village Light opera Group and will hopefully go into the Rodgers & Hammerstein Theatre rentals next year (?). Perhaps, then, we'll get performances to generate a recording. I can send you a CD of excerpts from the VLOG performances (badly played but not too badly sung).
I thought of a funny Cole Porter duet Mr Haines might light, originally sung by Betty Grable and Arthur Treacher, I believe: "They Ain't Done Right By Our Nell."
"I can still recall my last affair
He was smart, he was rich, he went everywhere
Well, he did until he went to the chair
They ain't done right by our Nell" (or something like that)
-
I'd say send your copy to BK, elmore, as he is the wind beneath Mr. Haines' wings...
-
I went back and scanned your unseemly interview, elmore. Alas, I was thinking of JUBILEE...not BY JUPITER. But I probably need JUBILEE too!
And I never answered the other question! I collect vocal scores from show, and I bought a ms photocopy of BY JUPITER, along with the vocal score to PURLIE!, from a used book dealer at 86th and Broadway several years ago.
-
elmore, I'll get an address to you. Just thought of another duet.
How'd Ya Like To Love Me. Martha Raye and Bob Hope did it in College Rhythm.
-
I won't watch that. Even worse, was the episode -was it Outer Limits-with the creepy doll.
Dear DR Jane:
Did my package arrive yet?
-
Now there's a real ice-breaker. As a deathly pall hangs over the room.
Nicely stated. It is really good to have you back.
-
Taking a leetle break from writing. I've only done three pages today, but that is usually my norm anyway. But they were difficult pages for a variety of reasons and also a hollywood reporter of reasons.
-
And yes, Mr. Guy Haines must do something by Weill.
I'm partial to the unknown "Ballad of the Robbers" from KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY because of its political relevance, and "Speak Low" is one great song as well!
-
About to go in my DVD player, just arrived from Michael Shayne and delivered by the Fed-ex man (MBarnum unfortunately not your brother but the really old guy ;D) The Japan Tour Cast Recording of THE FANTASTICKS. I’m so excited.
Thank you Michael. :D :D :D
-
Ron Pulliam...Man of A Thousand Faces...
BK..I don't think I want to know what spending "quality time" with a falafel is.
-
Ann, glad all looks well and you are improving on schedule. Still, take it easy.
Will you still have your job with the children when the family returns? Good luck finding something full time before then.
Td I’m glad you have Miss Dixie Bell to comfort and give you comfort in return.
-
Speak Low...one of my favs...
-
Dear DR Jane:
Did my package arrive yet?
Yes it did thank you and I am going to go listen to it now. :)
-
Ron, nice new avatar.
-
Jane, I wish he would play and sing. I hear he is almost as good as that Guy Haines fellow.
;D
-
Good evening!
Wow! Up to Page 10 already! -Which means I'll be doing a lot of reading when I get back from the show.
I've had a nice afternoon! 8 dozen chocolate chip cookies!
;D
OK - gotta run...
Laters...
-
Think Mancini, too....
...Two For the Road...(a clever guy can make a "duet" out of that)....
Guy could do a "Two Fer" duet medley: "Two For the Road," then "Two For the Blues" and end (or start) with "Two Lost Souls."
-
Guy has done Two Lost Souls with the divoon Susan Egan.
My dinner plans are now wholly dependent on the weather. If it rains, they're off, if it doesn't, they're on. I hope they're on because a) it will be nice to see my pal Debby, and b) it will be nice to have a good meal.
-
Did a couple more pages - that may be it, or I may try to do two more just to finish this little section I'm in so that Margaret isn't left hanging in mid-thought.
-
Good news DR Ann!
-
Hello all ...
well, it is 8.30am Saturday ... a light rain is falling and I am listening to a cd that my dear friend Tomovoz made for me ....
... just out of interest, where is everybody located? sometimes i don't know whether to say it's today, yesterday or tomorrow .....!
I'm in Olympia, Washington. Just about 30 miles south of Tacoma, which is where DR Ann lives!
-
Ron, nice new avatar.
...New?....
I wish (circa 1978).
But I know what you mean.
Thanks!
(As you can see, I'd just had a swallow of my Nestle's Quik and forgot to wipe my mouth before the photo was taken....NOT....sigh. Eyebrows and mustache had blond hairs mixed in with reddish-brown...and the blond ones just never showed up much in photos).
-
Ozderek, I am in the Wood of Holly, in the state of California. The infamous sign lurks in view of my office window, taunting me with its glittering false promises.
-
Never fear, Ron...I also had one of those sparse, weenie mustaches back in '78 too..Didn't we all? (Gals excluded, of course.)
-
I have never had a moustache, weenie or otherwise. I had a beard once, for a production of The World of Sholom Alecheim. I've threatened to grow a beard a few times, but I get a week in and I cannot stand it any longer.
-
Here's my weenie face hair...heavily darked in with eyebrow pencil, but I grew the goatee because I was unable to grow a full beard.
-
Some other songs we're considering for Guy: Staying Young by Bob Merrill (from Take me Along), Where or When, On your Toes. We'll probably only choose one Rodgers and Hart song, and most likely that choice will be On your Toes, one of my all-time favorite songs - such an inventively inventive tune and great lyric. I get giddy just thinking about it.
-
Good afternoon all.
I am back and am now staple-free. The doctor says I am healing nicely, no infection or brusing, and should be back to normal in a month or so. Goody.
DRAnn, that's fantastic! I hope all good things continue for you.
-

Beard? Did someone say they grew a beard???
-
Beard?
Who had a steenkin' beard????
-
I had a mustache on and off for years to look older as an actor. When I got old, I shaved it to look younger.
-
Ann, do you know what they did in honor of you? They opened a store near me - Staples.
Dear Friend BK, LOL!!! :-*
-
I can't imagine myself without a beard, or at least a moustache.
I've seen pics of der B clean-shaven, back from his Navy days, and he was danged cute back then. But I much prefer his fuzziness now.
-
Oh, my gosh!
Another stroke!
DRMBarnum, did you see the book cover I posted? It's like your own personal film festival.
-
Dear BK: Please add to the lists of suggestions for Mr. Guy Haines to consider:
"Sailing," from A New Brain. It has the sort of smooth melody that Mr. Haines sings so well.
-
I had a mustache on and off for years to look older as an actor. When I got old, I shaved it to look younger.
Like most of my shipmates in the Navy of the 1970s, I grew a beard because I could and other military services could not.
It also made me "feel" cool and allowed me to be less conspicuous off duty in Europe.
But it just never, EVER looked good enough for me. when I hit my 30th birthday, I forsook the beard, and went to the military extreme...going in for high-'n'-tight haircuts and a clean shave.
Occasionally, I'd grow the 'stache...
The Navy outlawed beards in the mid-1980s. I think they can still have moustaches.
-

Weill's "Lost in the Stars" would be a magical touch, too.
-
elmore, I'll get an address to you. Just thought of another duet.
How'd Ya Like To Love Me. Martha Raye and Bob Hope did it in College Rhythm.
I don't know the song and I love both the singers. What about "Thanks for the Memories"? I love Shirley Ross' voice.
-
Duh! "Thanks for the Memory!"
-
I can't imagine myself without a beard, or at least a moustache.
I've seen pics of der B clean-shaven, back from his Navy days, and he was danged cute back then. But I much prefer his fuzziness now.
I occasionally go a weekend without shaving...and my skin totally pays the price...the facial hair sucks up all the moisture in my skin these days.
I'm thinking my acute allergies play into that, too, but I'm not sure.
-
Never fear, Ron...I also had one of those sparse, weenie mustaches back in '78 too..Didn't we all? (Gals excluded, of course.)
Don't exclude Patty Duke (see my post from a couple of days ago).
Is that Shirley MacLaine in the gypsy pic?
-
I have a cute allergy, too.
-
Forgot to mention earlier:
DR Jose, congratulations on your new computer and welcome to the world of Mac.
-
DR ozderek, I'm in Middletown, Ohio, which is about 30 miles north of Cincinnati. It's 7:30 Friday evening, cold, with a "winter weather advisory" for tomorrow.
-
I'd do a Page 12 dance, but I'd probably falafel off the stage.
-
Evening all!
What a day! First, I got to drive Bonnie to work. I played my first CD and it was a wonder to ride so smooth and hear my favorite music at the same time.
I discovered that the blind in the back still does not fit so I called the place I got Bonnie from and wasn’t to very surprised when the guy wasn’t as nice as he had been when I bought her. He said, “Well, it IS a USED vehicle.” Well, duh, but the issue was brought up BEFORE I bought it and I was TOLD it would be taken care of. It was not.
It’s not that big of an issue to me but since Bonnie was supposed to come with the thing, I want it. Blame me? I looked the item up on the Ford site and it costs about hundred and fifty dollars.
He rather ungraciously said I should bring the SUV by tomorrow morning and he would “see what he could do for me.” I will be there.
We’re doing an orientation on Tuesday. Despite my telling people that if they wanted anything added or taken from the PowerPoint Presentation I put together, people chose to ignore my request. Until today. I had to work like a mad woman to make all the changes.
When I woefully exclaimed that no one listens to me and no one loves me anymore, Martin (the guy who sits on the other side of my cubical) hollered over, “I love you, Danise!” followed by dead silence in our area and a quick “In a platonic, brotherly way.” I just about died laughing.
Martin just got married a couple of months ago. I told him I was going to tell his wife that it was all a mistake and it was me, me, ME he loved!
Alas, JRand, I did not bid on the Music Box. As I said, I have the most important part. I’ve often thought of taking it to a music box place and getting it put in one of those little round plastic protector cases. I have Masquerade from POTO and cherish it. I didn’t want Music of the Night because that is NOT what Erik had.
DR TD, I was so very sorry to read of your loss. It is never easy and words can not make it better but know you are in my thoughts and I wish you the comfort of the knowledge that you did the right thing.
DR Jose, I know how you feel about getting those weird thoughts. Oddly enough, I’m having a few dark thoughts myself. Not because of anything being wrong but because of everything going so right. The promotion at work, the SUV, the up coming trip to NYC—it’s like everything is going too well. I keep thinking something really bad is going to happen. I know, I know that's dumb but I can't help it.
Funny how you wait like it seems forever for things to start going your way and then, when it does, you can’t enjoy it because your waiting for the bottom to drop out.
Well, enough of that. Tomorrow I am going to see about that blind and then I’m off to see David Copperfield for an afternoon of magic!
DR Ann, so what kind of staple remover did they use? :D

I think I wrote a post and didn't post it. I don't know what happened.
What would I do with the laserdisc? Serve a pizza on it?

Helen Traubel can't sing and she isn't very pretty either. Boy she opens her mouth up wide....she could give Martha Raye AND Joe E. Brown a race for their money.

Did somebody grow a beard?

TOD:
DVD: "Designing Woman." "It," "The Best Years of Our Lives." "Elaine Stritch: At Liberty"
VCR: "Follies In Concert"
CD: "Avenue Q" (OBC) "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (OBC)
I have not read the posts yet but will go back. To catch up from the rest of the week:
Character actors: James Coco, George Rose, Jason Robards (later in his career), Mercedes McCambiridge. Joe Kearns
Guy Haines songs: Since Guy already recorded one of my favorites, "That's All," I'll concur with DRLaura and suggest "Too Marvelous For Words." It's another favorite. Guy could do it croony, swingy (but not verging on "businessman's beat") or even Latin a la Lee.
Quote: "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end."

Helen was a great Wagnerian soprano a bit past her prime by then! Have you ever heard Charlotte Rae's "Spring Doth Let Her Colours Fly," a parody of Helen Traubel's Vegas act, on the recording of THE LITTLEST REVUE?

Take your Prozac first. :)

Which one's the beard?
-
Isn't the beard normally the one who gets the closest shave? :o
-
Rain may have come and gone, but there's the most exquisite sunset spilling into the canyon, shimmering across a thousand different shades of green.
-
Isn't the beard normally the one who gets the closest shave? :o
Well then, which one's the beard? My gay British friend Heidi married a gay gentleman for a green card.
-
If Guy should record "Laura," you must have him do the verse. It's mighty fine. Same goes for "Too Marvelous For Words." People so often drop verses, unfortunately.
The verses to "When Day Is Done" and "More Than You Know" are exquisite.
-
Ah Jack, I haven't listened to the soundtrack to "Valley of the Dolls" in some time. I must now. It was always a favorite. If it hadn't been for the soundtracks to "VOD' and "Wizard of Oz" any album by Fred Astaire or Petula Clark album, "Judy at Carnegie Hall" and a few others, I might never have made it through adolescence.
-
Beautiful sunset over here in the City of Studio as well. And no rain as of yet. If we can just keep that situation, I'll be dining in ninety count them ninety minutes. Until then: LIMBO!
-

No but just the idea of it has me rolling on the floor. ;D

I hear that, DRKERRY. And remember you are hearing Dory Previn for Dionne Warwick, Gail Heideman for Patty Duke, and Eileen Wilson for Margaret Whiting for Susan Hayward! But it IS Tony Scotti!

I know what you mean. Sometimes I will be thinking how great everything is and WHAM, and I mean within seconds of having such happy thoughts. ::)

DR Jane - There's a great article about Mary Doria Russell and her new book, A Thread of Grace, in the Jan. 3 issue of Publishers Weekly. If you'd like a copy, send me your address and I'll mail it to you.
-
Ozderek, I’m in the charming town of Ashland, Oregon-located just above the California border, nestled between two mountain ranges.
Ron I like the beard.
-
Thanks Ginny-emailing you now.
-
Yes DR RON nice new old avatar.
-
Ozderek,
Congratulations on your full member!
Ahem.
I, along with DRs Laura and Sandra and former DR MusicGuy, am located in Phoenix, Arizona.

Take your Prozac first. :)
or if you are REALLY stressed, do as the label says on an aspirin bottle ...
.... take 2 tablets when required and keep out of reach of children!!!!

well, it is great to see DRs from all over ....
.... USA, Canada and let's not forget .. Australia
thank goodness for the internet .. imagine having to use the postal services to send messages .....:)

Ginny you now have my address twice-I didn’t think it went the first time.
Ozderek I now know why you and Tomovoz are such good friends.-LOL
-
How can we forget our very own Francois?
More importantly, how can we forget falafel?
-
The on holidays François! Good timing. (a Jimmy Jones reference for those who remember 1960)
-
I have shaved, I have showered, I have anointed myself with precious oils and balms, and I also smell quite delicious. Now if only it doesn't start raining.
-
Is Francois on holiday? Is he, perchance, supping on a falafel?
-
Welcome eight GUESTS. Put on your best Jerry Lewis voices and say FALAFEL.
-
Lafalafel or is it lefalafel maybe even lesfalafel.
He will be back in three weeks. He in Angouleme. (sp)
-

apologies to Francois (and any others I may have omitted).
i feel like an international traveller .. without the hassles of passports, visas and customs

Wow! That post sort of sounds like Francois!

I've heard that some of your customs are quite strange DR OzDerek.

Dear Reader TD: My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved Minx.
Dear Reader MBarnum: Thank you for your good thoughts, posted here earlier today.
Dear Readers: The tough time I am going through Dear Reader MBarnum alluded to is largely associated with the loss of my beloved dog Roller. Over the last few months he lost a considerable amount of weight and along with it, energy. I took him to the vet a couple of weeks ago, and the vet thought it could be one of two things: an over-active thyroid condition (which a subsequent blood test proved to be not the case) or cancer. Roller's fragile condition ruled out any kind of intervention in the case of cancer, so we agreed that the best thing to do would be to keep him comfortable "until his time came." On Monday and Tuesday of this week, I noticed that he was unable to walk and at times, unable to stand. I even had to hold him up when I carried him outside to "do his business." On Tuesday night, I pretty much decided that his time had come. When I got home from an appointment on Wednesday afternoon, his condition had deteriorated even further. Off to the vet we went, and he died very peacefully in my arms.
Roller lived a great life of almost 14 years. My memories of him will draw from the days when he was in good and energetic health. His progeny, Blackjack, remains here to keep me company and, as you might imagine, he's been getting some extra-special attention in the last few days.
Dear Readers Jose and Stuart have met Roller, and many of you have expressed good vibes to him as he had his ups and downs, healthwise. So, I thought I should let you know.
-
I've heard that some of your customs are quite strange DR OzDerek.
please elaborate Tomovoz ....
... i know my 'customs' may be a little unusual ...
...... are they giving you a headache !!!!!!!!
-
Jay, so sorry to hear about Roller. I'm glad Blackjack is there so that you can comfort each other.
-
best wishes DR Jay ...
sorry to hear about Roller.
Warm regards from Down Under.
-
Jay, so sorry to hear about Roller. I'm glad Blackjack is there so that you can comfort each other.
Thank you, Dear Reader Charles Pogue.
-

:) and I'll stay out of reach of children.
-
Thank you, Dear Reader ozderek.
-
Jay, as someone else said to me-you know.
My heartfelf condolences to you and td. It is just so hard and I know how much you are both hurting.
-
Holly the zaftig Sharpei and I have you in our thoughts DRJAY.
-
Wow! That post sort of sounds like Francois!
I don't think I can really provide a François frenzy. The bilingual puns are way beyond me.
-
Thank you, Dear Jane and thank you Dear JRand54.
-
DR Jay, you'll have great vibes from this household, once Dixie Bell stops nipping at my heels. . . .
-
I don't think I can really provide a François frenzy. The bilingual puns are way beyond me.
I thought you were a valiant surrogate!
DRJay, you already know how sorry I am, but I hope you are coping as best you can.
-
Indeed DR Jay - you know.

The evening news is reporting that Dick Cheney attended the formal ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz yesterday wearing--are you ready?--a ski parka, big fluffy boots and a knit skiing cap. All of the other dignitaries and heads of state were dressed in formal attire, despite the fact that it was, yes, chilly outside where the ceremony was held. Yes, this is our duly elected "compassionate" official--compassionate as long as it doesn't entail them getting a little cold. As someone who lost family members in the Holocaust, I am sickened and appalled.
-

As a WASP of (hopefully) some standards, I agree with you!
-
My condolences as well re Roller. It's not been a good year for beloved pets - our very own Mr. Donald Feltham lost one of his beloved dogs last year.
-
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dear Readers td, elmore 3003 and Tomovoz. Your heartfelt words--as well as those of the Dear Readers who posted earlier--speak volumes about the friendships that can be forged and treasured here at HHW.
-
Ditto to Dear BK and Dear Reader Cillaliz.
-
DR Jay - Sorry to hear that you've lost your beloved Roller.
-
My dinner with Debby is on. Hallelujah, as I am starving. She'll be here in about ten or fifteen minutes and then off we shall fly to a restaurant to be decided upon.
Whilst I am gone, keep the home fries returning. For example, feel free to discuss the word "falafel" amongst yourselves. I shan't be home too too late and then I will post with renewed fervor.
-
Yes, I actually saw a picture of Cheney bundled-up like a lumberjack on the internet. I think it is just another example of this crass, insensitive, uncaring administration. How many examples do people need before it penetrates?
My heart goes out to pet-owners td & Jay. It is so tough. I need to go give Tewkes a hug and cat Mosby as much of a hug as he'll let me.
-
Holy moley on rye, page fourteen.
-
Thanks, Dear Reader Ginny.
-
DR Jay, I am so sorry to hear about Roller. Please feel better.

I had shrimp with garlic sauce and spring rolls. They bounced a lot.
-
Thank you, Dear Reader Jennifer.
-

;D ;D ;D
-
I am very sorry about Roller, Jay.
-
Thank you Dear Reader Sandra.
-
I have been enjoying my CD of THE FANTASTICKS which includes one of my all time favorites songs. I must say no one sings SOON ITS GONNA RAIN as well as Bruce. If CP is correct that Guy Haines sings better than Bruce, than it is the song I want to hear Guy Haines sing. I need proof.
-
DR Jay, I'm so sorry to hear about Roller.
-
I think they finished the roof.
-
Thank you, Dear Reader Laura. I am reminded now that you and Dear Reader Sandra actually met Roller when you were here in December.
-
DR Jay, I'm so sorry to read about Roller, but I know it means a lot to you to have been able to be with him in his final moments. I'm sure that made him very happy.
-
I checked my laserdisc, and DEEP IN MY HEART is indeed in stereo. In fact, it's mastered for Dolby DIgital 5.1 if one's receiver can decode the laserdisc. Otherwise, it's Dolby Surround. I looked at a bit of it after I finished checking. The cameo musical spots are lots of fun in this film. The bio itself is pretty stiff and bland.
-
Oh, dear, they're calling for a terrible snow, sleet, ice storm for here tomorrow, so if I don't log on, you'll know I lost power. And it was in the 70s two days ago!
-
I walked to the store today. I carried my bags home with me. I misjudged the weight a bit...I was a hurting puppy by the time I got back. But now I am rested and all is well.
DR Jay, so very sorry to hear about Roller. When my parents put our basenji to sleep when I was 12, he put his nose in my father's coat as he died. It means a lot to be with them. I hope time and vibes will help ease the sorrow.
-
Thanks Ann and Matt H.
-
Jay, as I told TD yesterday, I know it's hard to think of such things right now, but down the road a little bit, think about getting a rescue dog. Getting BeeGee has been a wonderful "happy ending" for us after having to put both Ethel and Sasha down within a year of each other. Somehow knowing you've helped save a dog that might otherwise have a miserable life (or even be euthanized) helps console you. Just a thought.
-
I'm back from dinner and Debby and I are having a lovely chat. I'll return shortly. Keep them home fries burning now, you hear?
-
Dr. Jay: Ouch.
So many of us are losing aging/ailing companions/friends...
-
We have a Dick on this site. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, our newest registered user: Dick.
-
Say Good night Dick, Good night Dick.
-
I am watching SUNNY with Miss Marilyn Miller!
-
Just returned from seeing RAY. My that was quite a good film, and Jamie Foxx deserves all of the acolades that he has been getting for his performance in that film!
And the sets, the costumes, and golly, the cars, were all fantastic!!
-
DR Jay, I'm also sorry to hear about your losing Roller.
-
Thank you, Dear Reader Dan-the-Man.
-
Are we having a siesta? My friend has left the home environment, and I have decided, because it isn't raining, to have another Jacuzzi. It's been so long since I've been able to do it, I may as well have two in a row.
-
And then perhaps I'll watch some Johnny Carson bits.
-
And then perhaps I'll post some new notes, if I ever get around to actually writing them.
-
Holy moley on rye - page fifteen.
-
DR Jay, I'm very sorry to hear about Roller. :'( It hasn't been the most happy season for pets. My best wishes to you.
-
Good Evening!
Yikes! On Page 15...
I'll probably see you all "tomorrow"... I got some reading to do...
Laters...
I hope!
;)
-
Had a jacuzzilicious Jacuzzi and am now like a wet noodle.
-
I'm thinkin' falafel. What are you thinkin'?
-
Thank you, George.
-
Jay, for God's sake, what did you EAT?
-
The Lovely Wife wants an avatar to accompany her post. Can anyone properly size this photo for her?
-
Pogue, for God's sake, what did you EAT?
-
Jrand is usually good at that sort of thing.
-
New notes are written and awaiting posting.
In the meantime - falafel.
-
New notes are up so early?
-
oh, nevermind, I see...pay no attention to my ramblings :)
-
The Lovely Wife wants an avatar to accompany her post. Can anyone properly size this photo for her?
I can help! Here you go:
-
Someone here re-sized mine originally...It may have been Jrand. And what do you mean what did I eat? Wish I could stay up and read the notes, but I have a book I must read instead (work related) so Tewkes and I are retiring, hopefully to soon be followed by The Lovely Wife...though I don't really need her help to read the book. I can move my own finger under the words, thank you very much!
-
No problem DR Ann. Remember we have it on good authority (DR Jed) that you are not normal.
-
and I can assure you that DR Jed is only slightly more normal than I :)
-
I'm forever blowing bubbles...
-
Who wrote that awful song?
-
Here it is again, but slightly clearer (I used a different photo editing program):
-
no idea.
Now I want to soak in a Jacuzzi
-
I tell you, after a long day there is nothing like sitting in a jacuzzilicious Jacuzzi.
-
My friend is watching Me, Myself and Irene. She found it halfway through, and since I've never seen it, so I can't follow anything. Moreover, I don't care for Jim Carrey anyway....I'm attempting to tune out the movie.
-
Have I mentioned that I am feeling heady?
-
I've never been much of a Jim Carrey fan myself.
-
now you're just taunting me, bk :)
-
I would never taunt you, darling Ann. I leave that to Jed. You should move to Los Angeles, California, USA, where we could find you a nice job.
-
I feel handy, or perhaps throaty...I do not, however, feel pretty.
-
There is, for example, a falafel-maker position open at Achmed's Falafel and Waffle House.
-
Thanks, again, George...
BK, you're forever blowing bubbles? Is that what you meant when you asked what did I eat? Is that what you've been doing in the jacuzzi?
-
Have you ever had a falafel waffle?
-
Holy moley on rye - page sixteen.
-
Ever since the new pool motor, the Jacuzzi has been very foamy and bubbly.
-
No, I've never had a falafel waffle. Why? Does a falafel make you waffle? Don't make waves.
-
A falafel waffle is like a steak pancake.
-
bk, I believe you can control the amount of foam and/or bubbles
Pogue, your lovey wife is indeed very lovely...great pic
-
I do hope the rain is gone for quite awhile. It's been dry since about three.
-
Thanks, Anne...we'll get her all set up tomorrow.
BK, where does one acquire a falafel waffle for the delectation of one's taste buds?
-
I can control my foam? Who knew. I always knew I could control my bubbles, but had no idea I could control my foam.
-
I believe they serve falafel waffles at Achmed's Falafel and Waffle House, located in Turkey.
-
New notes up in fifteen count them fifteen minutes. New word of the day, too.
-
I can control my foam? Who knew. I always knew I could control my bubbles, but had no idea I could control my foam.
Oh where is TCB to take that one for us...
-
Yes, where is that TCB?
-
Ann, there is also a position open for a foam controller at Daisy's Day Spa and Chicken Wings Ranch.
-
So it is written, so it shall be done.
-
And now... BK controls his foam!
Ta da.
Thank you, ladies and germs.
-
I am my own frenzy.
-
And now... BK eats a falafel waffle.
Ta da.
Thank you, ladies and germs.
-
Day Spa and Chicken Wings Ranch....sounds like an intriguing place to work. I'm not sure I want to know what a foam controller does...
-
I don't blame you.
-
And now... BK stands en pointe and sings I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles.
Ta da.
Thank you, ladies and germs.
-
I'm on a roll. A kaiser roll.
-
New notes up in three count them three minutes.
-
Is there such a thing as a waffle falafel?
