One nice bit in this Coleman tribute is that Sheldon Harnick mentioned Randy Graff's CD that BK produced.

Is this on PBS?

It might have been years ago, but sadly not now. I got it from Elmore's bootleg suppliers.

[John G.]

Six!

Watching a nice tribute to Cy Coleman. So far, Lucie Arnaz, Neil Simon, Chita Rivera and James Naughton have been on. Really good stuff.

I always wanted a copy of Coleman's record titled something like "Playboy At Night" from the old TV show. I also missed obtaining a copy of what was released from the series. It was the "upscale" show with jazz legends and continued the James Bond type vibe of the era, with lots of Hef's friends as collateral stars on episodes.

I believe a CD version is available on Amazon. I have it on my Wish List.

Thanks John! I found it. That's the one I used to see as an LP when I was in college. There were two really quirky used book stores in the college town. One was in the upper floors of a kind of brown stone building. The guy who ran it had the name Pepper, and he was a shh-quiet-don't talk above a whisper-type. Being college guys, we naturally nicknamed him "Sgt. Pepper". He had the better organized of the two shops. I found lots of good stuff there, and he had a decent LP selection, much more eclectic than could be found at the "record" stores' used sections.

The other used book store was far more jumbled and ragtag. The guy who ran/owned it was a member of the band McKendree Spring. Persistence paid rewards though if you had time enough to search his shelves. The biggest difference was that unlike Sgt. Pepper, this book store had a wide selection of book conditions, from barely held together to barely used. I did find some good stuff here. His prices were good for a college student who made $7/hr. or whatever was the least amount per hour, considering that I worked maybe 10-15 hours a week.

Hello, everyone.

And hello from my newly refurbished Macbook.

Jane, no soreness from the accident? Are you 100%?

Thank you for asking.  I'm still sore but improving. 100% is never going to happen-lol.  I am slowly returning to my normal but need to get off this bed before it will happen.

LOL.  We were rear ended a few nights ago just sitting at a stop light.  It wasn't too hard. Aside from a mild headache Keith was fine.  My already sore body felt it more.  I'm getting better

Vibes, I've had that happen twice in my life and it's no fun, I got whiplash both times

[Jane]

Changing our prescription insurance from Oregon to Washington was one big pain.  We sat in the car about an hour doing it on the phone.  The only difference between what we had and now have is the state.  What was involved to change was ridiculous.

Here's a 1940 version of "Lil' Abner" with Buster Keaton, also seems to have Doodles Weaver (Sigourney's uncle I think). The main title song is co-written by among others Milton Berle (?):

Vixmom....vibes to you, sounds like a workers comp claim to me

[Jane]

Thanks Cilla.  I've had it happen so many times I can't remember how many.  I could if I wasn't so tired but I don't want to.  My back & neck hurt some but it has just aggravated what is there, no whiplash fortunately.  I think if I had it I would know by now.

[Cillaliz]

Vibes to anyone else I have missed wishing vibes to.  Other than painting and workin I don't know exactly what I've been doing.

[Jane]

I agree.

I remember the used record stores and a few used book stores back in college, still the only types of stores I enjoy going to anymore. One was large and had a strange collection of cast albums, which I, of course, bought whenever I could afford one. The other was a hippie/lesbian/book store/record store/head shop/whatever we need to sell to stay afloat kind of place. Never bought a great deal there, but the guy in charge of the record part was named Bear, and we got along well. For some reason, he and my sister got into a violent fight, though I never heard what that was about. Haven't thought about him in more than 30 years. Oy, what the mind will dredge up when it is tired.

The classic with Pia Zadora and Ned Wertimer (the Jeffersons' doorman), replete with infectious (like a brain virus) theme song by The Gong Show's Milton DeLugg (and the Band with a Thud) and trumpet by Al Hirt:

(Yes, it is laughably bad, but the director was a veteran of the show "Naked City", and the movie was shot on the site of what is known as Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island. Many of the "unknown" actors were NY actors, either stage or daytime TV, some had appeared on "Naked City".)

Here's one to make up for the last post. REMBRANDT starring Charles Laughton in a movie by Alexander Korda. Quite a good biopic with a great Laughton performance:

Thank you DR John.

After tonight's song rehearsal I bopped over to Jerry's Deli and had a turkey sandwich - so two sandwiches in one day and no hint of nausea makes BK a happy boy.

Great news! I'm very happy you are feeling better. It's so good to get back to eating normally again.

[Jane]

Bruce, congrats on eating again!
