Good morning, all!  Back to Barnes & Noble today, and I hope it goes well. There's rain predicted for Manhattan, so we may have a store with slippery floors, as well as several maintenance folk with mops, today.  If anyone falls, I hope I'm not the one.

I spent the afternon yesterday taping five hours of Wheeler and Wolsey and the Ritz Brothers for DRRodzinski while I worked at my desk.  It was a pleasantly uneventful day.

TOD:
The Act Two Quintet, if not all, of CARMEN, which is the most inventive and fantastic score not by Mozart (I could never be in his league).
Since I started with an opera, here are a few scores I wish I'd written:
THE SLEEPING BEAUTY ballet (Tchaikovsky)
Ravel's Introduction & Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet & Strings
THE THREEPENNY OPERA (Weill)
PETER AND THE WOLF (Prokofiev)
ALBERT HERRING (Britten)
The Enigma Variations (especially "Nimrod") (Elgar)
THE MIKADO (Gilbert/Sullivan)

Musicals:
SHOWBOAT
OKLAHOMA!
THE GOLDEN APPLE
BABES IN TOYLAND
SITTING PRETTY
FOLLIES
KISS ME, KATE

Songs:
Old Friend (Cryer & Ford)
Long ago And Far Away (Gershwin/Kern)
Four Strong Winds (Ian Tyson)
Good Night, Irene (Leadbelly)
Begin the Beguine (Porter)
On the Street Where You Live (Lerner/Lowe)
I Can't Get Started (Gershwin/Duke)
Here, There, and Everywhere (The Beatles)
If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot)
Disneyland (Ashman/Hamlisch)
New Words  (Yeston)
And around 1,000,000 others!

Not being a songwriter, I think writing any song would be a miracle, and I have such deep regard for those who are talented enough to do it well.

One song - "I Remember" from EVENING PRIMROSE

One score - FOLLIES

classical music entry - "Claire de Lune"

I have been up since almost 6:30 this morning. Just couldn't sleep any more. I have read the daily paper, VARIETY, and done my internet surfing. I think I am now ready to begin my movie marathon day.

Starting with THE STEPFORD WIVES.

I'll be back at regular intervals with reports on the marathon.

Hi all.  Boy, did our days mirror each other, DR Ginny.  I also had the day from H E double toothpicks at work yesterday AND I had a bag Star Wars Dark Chocolate M & M’s on my desk (and in my tummy) as well.

I don’t know folks.  My job has changed much in the past couple of months and not for the better.  I’m honestly starting to have a really tough time getting out bed to go to it in the morning.

A bright note, I heard on the bus tonight that we WON and they will NOT be changing the route.  I guess getting the County Commissioners onto their tail helped out a great deal.  I still need to see the official announcement to be sure but it sounds good.  At least that’s one worry off of my mind.

  My Mom has been complaining about her back hurting her so tonight I loaned her my memory foam pad to sleep on.  She can’t get over how comfortable she is.  If she had listened to me when I first told her about how wonderful the memory foam pad is, she wouldn’t have been in so much pain.  But, far be it for me to say I told you so.  

I’m going to buy another one to put back on my bed today because I did not sleep so well last night.  I’m stiff and my neck hurts.

I also want to add that I would love more pictures from OZ and everywhere else for that matter.  I like seeing other DR’s world.

Speaking of pictures, I am working on doing another avitar.  Just haven't had time to sit down and do anything.   I LOVE yours, DR Jose.  Great job!

DR VixMom, have you seen this?  

http://www.carryatune.com/default.aspx

I don’t know how good it is but have considered buying it myself.   If I do, I will let you know what I think of it.  I thought it might help the Vixter.  

Gotta go.  I need to take the dogs for their walk then do the weekly grocery shopping.  I hope to be back this evening.

Have a GREAT day all!

I wish I'd written Rachmaninov's Symphony Number Two, Third Movement
Faure's Pavane for a Dead Princess

songs I wish I'd written

the score of Li'l Abner

Almost all the songs on the new Guy Haines album

Begin rant:

Just read that Sir John Mills passed away at ninety-three.  Of course, one of the relatively young'uns at another board posted it and his one-word post was: Sad.  Now, this fellow probably scours the obits every day so he can post these things.  Was he a huge fan of Mr. Mills?  Doubtful.  But, that's not the point - it's the "sad" business.  Mr. Mills died at ninety-three, a ripe old age.  Other than family members, all we should be saying is, "Wow, what a life!"  I'm can't say "sad" - I didn't know the man, and he didn't die too young.  But I can say we should celebrate him as a good actor, good human (from all I've heard), good husband (looooong successful marriage to Mary Hayley Bell) and daddy to two beautiful daughters, Juliet and Hayley.

Sad?  

End rant.

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: bk on April 23, 2005, 08:48:44 AM

What am I, doing a monolog?

I can see Miss Tammy Minoff is online (on my buddy list).  She's supposed to be here by ten after nine.  From where she is that should take between ten and fifteen minutes.  I should think she'd better get crackin' pretty soonish.

Well, I shall be on my way to the Ray Courts show.  Hopefully, this dreadful morning errant and truantness will abate and there will be scads and scads of posts to come home to - at least five hundred.

Maybe Techno-Tammy can figure out how to get me online on my cell phone, and we'll see if there's any way to post.  Wouldn't that just be too too?

To day is "Get Rid of the Crap" Day here.  I'm going through my house room-by-room looking for clutter and junk that I've been saving for some reason or another but that I have't touched in over a year.

Boxes!  Why in heck do I save the box from just about everything I buy?  A few quick slices of my handy utility knife has been reducing them to stacks of cardboard but it seems endless.

I am also making a potential eBay pile.  Small things, like CDs and toys, that I think will be easy to ship.  Any advice out there for a first time eBay seller?

Dan (the man), I love "get rid of crap" days.  I need to do one.  Know anyone who needs about five boxes of old Playboys.  The dealers don't want them.  They'll actually from about 2000 on, but oddly enough the older one...which I would have thought the rarer ones from the seventies...they could care about.  I've already just pitched the old Men's Health and WGA magazines.

Just read that John Mills passed away at 97.  Some of his great performances:

In Which We Serve
Great Expectations
Scott of the Antarctic
Tunes of Glory
Tiger Bay
The Wrong Box
Ryan's Daughter

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: Matt H. on April 23, 2005, 10:23:28 AM

Yep, John Mills had a great life with many highlights. Loved him in GREAT EXPECTATIONS and HOBSON'S CHOICE among dozens of other fantastic pictures and performances.

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: Charles Pogue on April 23, 2005, 10:25:39 AM

I have to agree with BK. Sir John lived a full and dynamic life and left a body of good work.  There is nothing sad about passing away at 97.

Noel Coward to Clifton Webb, when Webb was inconsolable at his mother's death.  "There, there, dear boy, there are worse things than being an orphan at 65."

Post by: Matt H. on April 23, 2005, 10:25:43 AM

I've completed the first two movies in my movie marathon today.

THE STEPFORD WIVES (remake). It has some moments of humor, moments of satire, even a jolt or two, but I don't think it made the most of any of these potentials. It does have LOTS of fun performances including Kidman's, Roger Bart's, and Bette Midler's, but the movie for me belongs to Glenn Close who just towers over everyone else. She's REALLY believable as a Steford Wife, and I mean that in the BEST way possible.

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: Matt H. on April 23, 2005, 10:27:21 AM

#2. LI'L ABNER.

Just a lot of fun. The music is great, and the entire cartoon universe of Dogpatch is captured to perfection. A colorful transfer adds to the joy of this movie.

Up next - GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT.

Matt H., How could I forget HOBSON'S CHOICE...which just the other day here I picked as one of my favourite British movies.  And Mills is terrific in it!

The only really sad thing about Mills' death is that with him dies a generation of British actors who came up in the early part of the Twentieth Century and flourished through most of the mid-century and produced some of the finest theatre and performances of al time.  Olivier, Gielgud, Richardson, Guinness, Mills, Ashcroft, Coward, Sybil Thorndyke, Edith Evans, Michael Redgrave...we shall not see their like again.  Truly a Golden Age of Acting!

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: TCB on April 23, 2005, 10:39:54 AM

LI'L ABNER was a lot of fun.  Was that really Jeff Goldblum in that film?  Ms. Parrish was indeed a beauty, and so was Mr. Palmer.  What surprised me most was that I saw the film once on television, when I was about fifteen or sixteen.  I never saw the film again until last night, I never saw another production of the show, and I never owned the LP.  However, watching it last night, I remembered the words to almost every song in the show.  Amazing.  The memory of those songs stayed with me for twenty years or so.

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: George on April 23, 2005, 10:42:10 AM

I'm at work (haven't actually started working, though), but the only songs that I can specifically think of that I would've wanted to write are:

Someone in a Tree and Please Hello from Pacific Overtures and The Road You Didn't Take and You’re Gonna Love Tomorrow/Love Will See Us Through from Follies.

I know that there are many, many, many (that three manys) more, but I can never think of them unless I happen to be listening to them.  Oh, well. ::)

My mind has been known to wander from time to time.  Last night, watching LI'L ABNER, I started thinking about Stubby Kaye (not in that way).  I started thinking what a truly amazing career he had, both on Broadway and film, and yet I know absolutely nothing about the man himself.

Have there ever been any biographies written about him?  Does anyone know anything about Mr. Kaye as a person?

It is amazing to me that Peter Palmer didn't have a BIG career on stage and screen. He was a wonderful singer, had great looks and that physique! Yes, he made his fame as Li'l Abner, but lots of people had a breakthrough role that they later were able to parlay into a healthy acting career. I think it's rotten he didn't.

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: Matt H. on April 23, 2005, 10:50:32 AM

Stubby Kaye:

I know he should have won TOnys for both of his big Broadway supporting turns, and didn't, and the year he could have been nominated with Vereen and Timothy Nolen as a lead actor in GRIND, they eliminated the category for lack of contenders. The three of them were ALL worthy of nominations.

Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!

I had another one of my Saturday mornings in bed listening to NPR: Weekend Edition, "Car Talk", "The Sound of Swing" (which was featuring Jazz Artists from the 20s and 30s in movie appearances, quite wonderful stuff!)...  -All of which was interrupted now and then by pledge breaks, but that was actually OK.  This time round, WCVE is focussing on the number of new members and renewals rather than money amounts.  They just need another 80 or so to meet their goal for this drive, and once that goal is reached, they will return to regular program.  So, to encourage more people to call this morning, they shortened the pledge breaks.  Very nice.  -However, I really like the on air personalities, so listening to them "beg" is not that bad.  In any case...

At Noon, there was some interview with the head of the Virginia Funeral Directors Association.  ???  Then the Met Broadcast of "Die Walkure" started.  I stayed with it through Siegmund's profession of love for his twin sister, Sieglinde.  -Hey, it's opera - I refer you to Anna Russell.  Siegmund is being sung by Placido Domingo, and I really do have to say that he has taken wonderful care of his voice in these typically "sunset" years.  He sounded youthful and energetic with no sign of strain.  And the Sieglinde didn't sound too bad either...

Well, just as Siegmund was about to pull the sword out of the tree, I pulled myself out of bed...

Title: Re:COIF THE DO
Post by: Charles Pogue on April 23, 2005, 11:37:47 AM

What's worse than BK's reportage of someone saying about the death of John Mills, "Sad" is the one who wrote, "That's so sad.  He was terrific in the CATS DVD!"  

I mean if his CATS turn is what some are remembering as his significiant work then their education is "sadly" lacking.

I've always admired GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT and disagree with those who think it's dated now. I think some of the messages it offers about prejudice are as vital and meaningful today as ever.

If anything fails to ring true, it's the happy ending forced on the story. Otherwise, it's entirely relevent today about prejudice of all kinds.

The transfer isn't up to the best of the Fox Studio Classics, however. Most of it looks grand, but there are some scratches that run for a bit too long on the print, and one or two scenes of graininess that become obtrusive. Most of it looks silky and quite beautiful, but I think MY DARLING CLEMENTINE and THE OX-BOW INCIDENT look better.

What's worse than BK's reportage of someone saying about the death of John Mills, "Sad" is the one who wrote, "That's so sad.  He was terrific in the CATS DVD!"  

I mean if his CATS turn is what some are remembering as his significiant work then their education is "sadly" lacking.

You are right, Charles, THAT is sad.

Ha!  You might be sorry if I did.  I'm quite merciless when it comes to cleaning out other people's clutter.

But I have done a fair to middlin' job with my own stuff, today.  The boxes are all sliced and tied and ready for Monday's recycling pick-up.  Some of the sturdier boxes are now packed with computer programming books I no longer want, ready to be driven to the Goodwill, along with a bag of clothing.  Unwanted magazines are bundled and the few I want to save articles from are placed next my scanner.  All in all, a good day's work.

Just finished watching the DVD of Lil Abner..what memories that brought back of our Phoenix High School production! LOL!

What stumps me is how our high school was able to put on such a provocative play....and no one complained! It really is a very sexually suggestive show.

This play was one of the few, or only, times that the school jocks and the drama people ever together for any amount of time. Lil Abner was played by one of the biggest football stars at our school and of course the "after" husbands were all the really built athletes...I don't recall any of them actually speaking to any of us theater people, however. LOL!

Thanks you Jose, TCB, elmore, DtM and MBarnum.

We had a wonderful time in Portland.  Keith enjoyed driving my car there for one last trip.  A bit teary eyed I said goodbye to my cherished car, but I shall keep all the good memories of young children and Echo which are part of the car I had for thirteen years.  Bryan was very pleased with how good it looked after we had it detailed.  Shortly after we passed the car along to Bryan I received a call from the Toyota dealership informing us my new car had arrived.  Keith is in the car now trying to figure out how to work the satellite radio and the other hi-tech gadgets in it, such as setting the clock to the correct time.  ;D

We had a successful trip accomplishing the shopping we needed to get done, a great visit with Bryan and a superb meal on Keith’s birthday at our favorite Indian restaurant Plainfield's Mayur http://www.plainfields.com/ .  For our appetizer we had Papadums and Somosa’s, both of which were delicious but the papadums were incredible.  For dinner Keith and I shared the Malai Kofta and the vegetable Bhaji.  Bryan and his girlfriend shared the spicy version of Malai Kofta and something else.  To round the meal out we had naan and a special bottle of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc.

The best part of the trip-we really like Bryan’s new girlfriend.  :) :D :D

We returned home with a bag of egg (for me) and sour dough (for Keith) bagels from Noah’s and chocolates and Jordon Almonds from the Lebanon store. http://www.verdunchocolates.com/index.htm

DR MATTH - I like THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN, although it goes on for a LONG time and some of the process shots are very obvious - but the scenery is lovely and the performers are attractive.  The only fly in the strega for me is the always irritating Maggie McNamara - what a pill.  Giving nearly the same grating performance she gives in THE MOON IS BLUE - and completely self-involved with her own cuteness and coyness, she NEARLY NEARLY sinks the enterprise for me.  It is saved by Jean Peters and Dorothy McGuire and Clifton Webb AND the scenery and music.  But it is a tough battle for them.

And you are partially correct TCB, I did interview one of the muscle guys from LIL ABNER, the one in the pink swim trunks,  Mr. Gordon Mitchell who one year later would move to Italy and become a huge star there!

I have spoken with, but not yet interviewed, one of the other guys...Mr. Brad Harris.  Nick Dimitri is another of the muscle guys in LIL ABNER and he is still working today as a stunt man! He and Gordon Mitchell were part of Mae West's troup during her 1950s nightclub act.

I've always admired GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT and disagree with those who think it's dated now. I think some of the messages it offers about prejudice are as vital and meaningful today as ever.

If anything fails to ring true, it's the happy ending forced on the story. Otherwise, it's entirely relevent today about prejudice of all kinds.

When I first saw the movie I felt the same way about the ending, until I read the book.  The happy ending was simply the tool to get people to change the way they think.  And not just those who are obviously prejudice but those who aren’t but don’t speak up.   I realized even I wasn’t speaking up.  I  often receive “compliments” about not being “typical”.  After reading the book I realized simply nodding was not the correct response.

Here is a link (http://www.nbc10.com/news/4409467/detail.html) to the story.  The girl was unarmed but apparently, her five-year-old fists were too much for the assistant principal to handle.  The woman, instead of taking an adult stand with the girl, started shouting at the girl that she did not have the right to punch and kick her.  Of course, the girl begged to differ and continued to swing.  But at no time was this a child a threat to anyone, not even to herself.

I'm back - left forty minutes early.  The show was a bit of a letdown, attendance-wise, although everyone seemed to do okay, including me (this is the best show I had, money-wise, since the first).  But, they had Penny and I at the end of a row on the side (the room is L-shaped and we were in the L) - normally that's not such a bad place and has been very crowded before, but for some reason people were not wandering over there after having perused the middle of the room.  Hugh O'Brian, normally a huge draw, sat with an empty table for most of the day.  My pal Penny asked Ray Courts if he'd move us to the middle tomorrow and he said he'd try.  If he only has room for one of us to move, she can have it and I'll stay put, but hopefully we can still sit next to each other.  Because of where we were seated I couldn't take many photographs, but I got a few and I'll post them shortly.  I did say hello to Miss Diane McBain (sitting with no people at her table) and told her she looked beautiful.  My pal David Naughton was there, too.  Interesting group of people, but maybe because the Festival of Books and Passover are this weekend that could account for the lower than usual attendance.  Normally there is a long line waiting to get in at ten - there were just a handful of people when I arrived.  I actually did the bulk of my business in the first twenty minutes - I got many people, and sold photos (which I normally don't do well with), DVDs, and books.  The first thing that sold was an original Partridge Family script to a fellow who has something to do with the official Partridge website - he was helping Suzanne Crough (Tracy).  He said the interview he did with me over a year ago will finally be going up in the next couple of weeks.  When it's up, I'll link to it.

Penny Peyser's thigh, a thing of beauty. I was a big "Crazy Like a Fox" fan as a youngster.

Today watched the end of GIRL CRAZY which was just a mess.
Then THE SADIST, courtesy MBarnum, which is a pretty grim and violent tale from 1963 featuring Arch Hall giving his best (some wags would say only) performance. He is by turns cartoonish and realistically menacing. The whole movie takes place in a junkyard where he torments some folks on their way to a Dodger game. The woman who plays Doris is SO beautiful, but never in another film.

Alright, I'm off to hear a pal spin records at a pub. Over.

Penny looks great, too.  Seated next to Penny were Jonathan Haze and Jackie Joseph of Little Shop of Horrors.  Robert Culp was there once again, looking befuddled.  Doing very well was Mr. William Katt, selling the new DVD of The Greatest American Hero.

Evening all!

Sorry I wasn’t on sooner but we had a bad storm and for awhile, it sounded like we had a tornado somewhere close by!  The Weather guys said one was spotted about five miles North of Brandon in the Seffner area—Well, that’s just about where we live.

I looked outside but didn’t see anything, thank goodness.  

I bought some computer software today among my many and sun dried items.  Three in fact.  One is an Internet Radio Recorder, the next is the Singing Coach and last a game called “Impossible Creatures” that looked interesting.  The only down side to it is that idea of the game is to come up with genetic mutations (Like the head of a tiger and the body of a scorpion) so they can fight.  I like the mixing part put I don’t really want my creatures to fight.  I don’t want to see my cyber creatures get killed.  I’m hoping for a “peace” mode.  

 All three sound like they will be great fun.  I just hope I can find the time to really use them.  If you could only see the DVD’s alone that are still in their original wrappings or just had the wrapping removed so I could read the inside but have never watched, you would be amazed.    

I have a ton of computer games that I rarely to never play either.  If I could just quit that four letter word called “Work”, I might finely have the time I need to do the things I want.  Sigh.

I saw what I thought was a disgusting sight today.  A young pregnant gal wearing a mini skirt.  The top of the what there was of the skirt was under her very big belly and she was also wearing a cut off shirt so she looked like a guy with a beer gut sticking out.  Ugh.  Made me want to vomit on the ground.

So glad to see DR Jane and DH are back safe and sound.  I’m glad to learn that I am not the only person who cries about the loss of inanimate objects.  There has been a car or two in my past that brought me to tears when I watched them being towed away.  

I’m already bonding with Bonnie as she’s my first new car.  It will be very hard to say goodbye to her when the day (many years from now) arrives.  I’m not doing bad.  I’ve only put about five hundred miles on her since January.  At this rate, I think I can count on her being around for a good long bit.  

I’m also glad I was able to replace my memory foam pad.  I thought I was stiff this morning but I’m really feeling it now.  

As for the story about the little brat, excuse me, kid who was cuffed by the police, that happened in my neck of the woods.  Here is a better link that shows how she was misbehaving.

http://www.wfts.com/stories/2005/04/050422girlarrest.shtml

The teachers/school is not allowed to touch the kid but she is hitting the lady in the video and has destroyed her office.  

I do think the cuffs were a little much.  They should have broke out the paddle.  Five or six good hard whacks might have fixed the problem.

Obviously discipline and respect for your elders are not words in the parent’s vocabulary.  I KNOW what my parents would have done in a case like this.  I might not be sitting down yet.  

This crap that the teacher/principal can’t administer correction is wrong.   Bring back the paddle.  Maybe use it on some of the parents as well.  It might straighten their act out too.    

I look around and see stuff like this and that ten year old killing himself and his mom then hear the kid across the street (a little kid, I have no idea what age)  shaking his fists at his parents and screaming at the top of his lungs, “I HATE you!  I HATE you!  I wish you were DEAD!” just this week when I was getting out of my car and I wonder next week I'll hear a bang then read in paper he killed them.  Maybe I should have called the cops when I heard that  but then what does one do with a misbehaving child now days?


Opps, I’m ranting.  Sorry.   I don't even have any kids.  Well, at least I lucked out in that department.

Obviously, the "wacks" would not have helped! they had (!) to put handcuffs on the kid! A 5 year old kid! handcuffs... and they were being videotaped!

You probably couldn't see Tommy Cook for the crowd around his table.

If Miss Diane McBain didn't have a crowd, then the people there are NOT fans of the 1960's!  She was so terrific in PARRISH as the spoiled rich girl.  And of course her Daphne on SURFSIDE SIX had too little to do, but was VERY decorative.  I'll alway remember her sitting in the convertible and waving during the credits.  Hubba hubba!

Isn't Diane McBain in MARY, MARY with Debbie Reynolds and Barry Nelson?  I always liked that film.

I just finished watching a beautiful and moving film, THE WIDOW OF SAINT-PIERRE, with its ironic title.  I'm still caught up in its tragedy.

"Composer, trumpeter and arranger Robert Farnon has died at the age of 87, his former manager said today. The Canadian-born star, regarded as one of the greatest composers of light orchestral music, died at a hospice near to his home in Guernsey last night.
Former manager Derek Boulton, said the world has lost "a musical genius". Farnon wrote the music for more than 40 films including Spring In Park Lane, Maytime in Mayfair and Captain Horatio Hornblower RN.
He won four Ivor Novello awards including one for Outstanding Services to British Music in 1991 and a Grammy award in 1995. As conductor of the Canadian Band of the Allied Expeditionary Forces Farnon came to England in 1944 and made it his home at the end of the war."

Robert Farnon scored the songs for the film of WHERE'S CHARLEY? which I understand will be released on DVD in the not-too-distant future.

Yes, I suppose, now that I think on it, the correct thing to do was pat the girl on the head, tell her what a good girl she was and let her go.  She sounds like she’ll be a real winner for society.  

Today she tears up an office and punches an adult.  Tomorrow, who knows?  

She'll no doubt win her law suit, make a couple of million and then have a best selling tell all book.  Humm, to bad   I wasn't smart enough to do that in school.  And at only five!  The child's a genius!

We'll see if the opportunity presents itself.

Having come from a family in which I was sometimes "punished" for no good reason, I'm not a huge fan of this sort of thing.

BUTT - this obnoxious little kid is most likely obnoxious because her parents are most likely obnoxious and let her get away with it.  And, of course they sue.  And, of course they'll win, which is more nauseating than anything.  Somehow millions of children for the last hundred years managed to grow up decently, even if there were occasional problems.  They did so without being monitored to death, without lawsuits, without the word "inappropriate" (if I never hear that sickening word again it will be too damn soon), without handguns, without soccer, without tae kwan do, without the INTERNET and computers and too much knowledge too soon, without ten-year-olds losing their virginity, without junior high school girls performing oral sex because it isn't really sex it's just hip and fun because they saw it on TV or in a movie, without thong underwear and teenage girls dressing like hookers, without any of the horrible things in this world which are turning children into selfish loathsome creatures.  There, I've said it and I'm glad.

I didn't get around to THREE COINS tonight. Instead, I watched the movie version of STARSKY AND HUTCH on HBO-HD. Ridiculous in the extreme, it was a wasted 1 3/4 hours. It was nice seeing David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser near the film's conclusion. Time has not been kind to Mr. Soul though Glaser looked OK (with some obvious "work").

Over the last several months I have picked up a number of those budget DVDs from Alpha video (www.oldies.com) and I got to thinking, as I was looking at the stack of them, that I ought to try and watch some of them...and since most of these old movies are only about 60 minutes long...so I popped in THE HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTER (1935) starring Norman Foster and Charlotte Henry...what a good movie! It is a Monogram film, but doesn't seem like a poverty row film! Almost seems like something Paramount or RKO would have done back then.

And I do love sweet little Charlotte Henry!

JESSICA SKERRITT!  That's what I'M talkin' about.

Very restless, but must sit like so much fish and rest and take care of the vocal instrument.  Just hope there's a little less air conditioning tomorrow, but I'll be wearing a coat just in case.  Then I'll hope that my passover hosts understand that I will not be talking up a storm, something I did do all day today.

Finally started watching Kojack, about which more later.

BK - Make sure you have Diet Coke AND water with you tomorrow.  That should help.

What's the buzz, tell me what's a happening, what's the buzz, tell me what's a happening...

What am I, Jesus Christ, Superstar all of a sudden.  What was I watching the other day - some late sixties movie on DVD, and the music were the exact same first six notes as Jesus Christ, Superstar - written before it by a couple of years.  The composer could have sued.  I'll try to remember what it was, but if someone adventurous wants to search back over my DVD comments of the last week - it's an American movie from, I believe, 1968 or so.

I think I shall now take a hot steam-laden shower, which will hopefully continue to help my throat.  Then I will have my second cup of EmergenC whlst watching episode two of Kojack.

I remembered: It's With Six You Get Egg Roll, score by Robert Mersey, someone I only knew as a splendid arranger/conductor for a bunch of Columbia albums from the sixties.

What a lovely steaming shower I had - that always cures a multitude of ills.  Heating up water so that I can drink my second cup of the foul-tasting but helpful EmergenC.

What flavor of Emergen-C?  I find most of the flavors rather tasty.

Isn't EmergenC something with Randolph Mantooth?

DR Rodzinski, I am finally watching WILD GUITAR. Arch Hall Jr. certainly has a lot of hair.

Yes, he did one with Julie Andrews, and, I believe, with Mel Tormé! :D

I have certainly sat in front of the TV a LOT today!

Ah, TV. Land o' dreams.

In THE SADIST Arch also has a lot of hair. His eyebrow, for instance, is ridiculous. I know one of those two women in there is his cousin, but I was not sure which. In either case, it would be weird acting out some of those scenes with one's cousin!

Lemon-lime is the flavor and it's pretty wonky.

Gotcha.  I like Raspberry, Cranberry and Orange.  They advertise a Cola flavored one, but I've never seen it on the shelves.  -Oh, and now that I think of it, the Tropical flavor isn't that great either.
