About as good as can be expected when played on four keyboards.

Not like a big pianola? Where is Ethel Toffelmeier?

A sparkling HHW day with friendly banter. Thank you for the smiles DRs.

Question for DRs: Are there singers who you admire but in fact have difficulty in listening to a whole CD of their singing.
Doris Day and Petula Clark are on my list as is Elvis Costello.

Exception with Ms Day is the Cd of sixties singles mentioned today by DR JRand. (I bought it after reading that he had done so!! - Ah the influence of HHW DRs).

Elly Stone, Dory Previn and Maria Callas, all intelligent performers.

Darlene Edwards and Mrs Miller who prove a little goes a long way.

Well, I wouldn't sing "Moonlight Becomes You" to Dubya on his Road to Ruin.

What about "Mooning" from GREASE???

Tomovoz · « **Reply #214 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:04:33 PM »

I don't think I could get through more than 10 minutes of Darlene and Mrs Miller.

François de Paris · « **Reply #215 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:07:32 PM »

Who's Mrs Miller, asks ignorant me?

(PLEASE, don't tell me it's... Mr Miller's wife!!)

François de Paris · « **Reply #216 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:08:43 PM »

I have a hard time listening to a lot of Miss Peters and Miss Lupone!

François de Paris · « **Reply #217 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:09:54 PM »

Same with... Joe Cocker!

I must say, a little Streisand goes a loooooong way...

François de Paris · « **Reply #219 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:11:17 PM »

BUT.... I can listen to the one and only Oz wonder for hours:

Anthony WARLOW!

Isn't Jed singing that in AGYG?

François de Paris · « **Reply #222 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:14:04 PM »

I can't stand Maria Stone, Dory Callas and Elly Previn!

Never heard of them???

They're French singers!

Well, I haven't seen Ms Peters or Mr Cocker in the same room at the same time.

Now, Betty Buckley's got a voice for peeling paint off walls.

THAT would be better than her worst!

Ben · « **Reply #226 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:15:38 PM »

Hmmm, I think the same of Miss Streisand, although her early stuff is easier to hear. I love Karen Akers but in small doses.

Jed · « **Reply #227 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:16:28 PM »

Off to the theater!

Hummmm.... TCB would detect some double-entendre there I'm sure!

Ben · « **Reply #229 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:16:47 PM »

Ah, yes, Miss Buckley. I know she is adored by many but she, I don't "get"

Tomovoz · « **Reply #230 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:17:53 PM »

Me too with Karen Akers DR Ben. Gave up after her "French" album. I Lost Betty Buckley along the way too.

Elly Stone's major fame comes from interpreting the famous mistaken Frenchman but really Belgian, Jacques Brel (by the way, did you know he's alive and well and living in Paris?)

Well, what do you say of Tammy Grimes then? $:-\$

Tomovoz · « **Reply #233 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:21:15 PM »

If RLP were on board today I'd say much about Bette Midler. Very small doses.

If I choose to play a Streisand Cd, I tend to go back to "Simply Streisand" years.

BTW, I spoke to Anthony earlier and relayed all your good birthday wishes. He was very thankful and touched. He had to work on his birthday. Ah, life in the theatre. But there was a little birthday celebration during an afternoon break. There are actually two birthdays in their cast today. Anthony and Jose's friend, Nick, who is playing Hero. They had a cake at break and Anthony and Nick got cards and little gifts and tomorrow the cast is taking both of them out for a birthday celebration.
