Jose why is Patrick Cassidy a blond in the show? In the photo on his web-site he has dark hair. Any chance you will be with the show in April when it plays in Portland?

I'll speak for Jose on this one, if I may.

Jose will not be with the JOSEPH tour in April because he will be on the Broad Way!!!

YAAAAAY!

I called the hospital to check on Danise and she had already gone home. It is always nice to hear good news.

GOOD RECOVERY VIBES TO DANISE!

Thanks Jason. LOL, his schedule is so busy I wasn't sure of the dates.

Vibes to Danise too!!

My one and only real children’s album was my Hopalong Cassidy storybook album. I could turn the pages of a book while listening to the stories. I could listen to it every day.

Suddenly it was very quiet here so I went to see what the floor guy was doing. Nothing as it turns out. He finished and left. I wanted to talk to him.

Now we have a break until next Wednesday when he returns. It will be nice to have my privacy back and frustrating the work has come to an unexpected stand-still.

Good health vibes to DR Danise!

And to the Vixter!

I loved the Mary Poppins LP (my mom's, handed down to me that is) as a kid. I remember having a Bert & Ernie record, possibly a two-album set. Also a couple records put out by Disney with standard stuff like "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" and "I'll Be Working on the Railroad" and such.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #128 on:** October 20, 2005, 12:55:18 PM »

I don't recall many kiddie albums as having much impact on me.

I once had a migraine and "Teddy Bear's Picnic" kept going through my head. I have to tell you that the little 45 rpm in my meagre collection was smashed to smithereens afterward.

I still have, somewhere, a 45 of Georgia Gibbs singing "The Hucklebuck." And there are 45s of Bing Crosby and Andy Williams and Elvis Presley.

My first LPs were the original "Sing Along With the Chipmunks" (and I loved "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" because I knew the song from having seen "Hello, Frisco, Hello" on TV). a Mantovani album with "Exodus" and other favorites, including "Mr. Wonderful", which was my favorite track on that album.

It didn't take me long to discover Disneyland records and then, when I least suspected it, I was "into" film music and among my first were "Exodus," "To Kill A Mockingbird," "The Robe", "The Diary of Anne Frank," "The Wizard of Oz" and "Bells Are Ringing." Many were acquired as cutouts. I did get "Mary Poppins" through the RCA Record Club and have one of the first issues of the soundtrack on the RCA label, rather than the Buena Vista label...same jacket, different label.

Vinnie is on his way over and we shall then be on our way to the El Portal to check out the space and figure out where he'll be set up to record the show on Monday.

Sorry to read about your daughter, DR Vixmom. I hope she will have a swift recovery.

Hoppy was my favorite. During some Christmas or other, I had a Hoppy outfit consisting of hat, shirt and guns. My mother has a photo of me wearing them somewhere.

I later got (and no longer have, drat the luck) a Hopalong Cassidy wristwatch.

Later, but while I was still a kid (9 or 10 instead of 5 or 6), I got a Paladin gun/holster set for Christmas. Even had the business cards (Have Gun, Will Travel! Wire Paladin, San Francisco).

I guess Annie Oakley was before your time, DR Jane.

Yes, vixmon, many sympathies to the vixter.

I began having sympathy tearing while reading your comments about her swelling.

Make a HUGE fuss over her while you can!!!

Matt H. · « **Reply #133 on:** October 20, 2005, 01:01:15 PM »

Sorry for those of you who couldn't get into LOST. The combination of fascinating and most surprising backstories of the stranded castaways along with the thrilling adventures as they explore the island they're on makes it a one-of-a-kind TV experience for me. Of course, one man's meat is another man's poison, so there you go.

VERONICA MARS nailed another entertaining episode

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!

As for Veronica's case this week, let's just say the writers had obviously seen the first act of ROMANCE/ROMANCE.

I very stupidly set the DVR to record INVASION last night instead of LAW & ORDER, and since I watched INVASION, well, that was an hour on the DVR that could quickly be erased.

Jed · « **Reply #136 on:** October 20, 2005, 01:03:56 PM »

Just remembered another kiddie album, Anne Murray's "Hippo in the Bathtub." Classic stuff, doncha know.

Matt H. · « **Reply #137 on:** October 20, 2005, 01:05:48 PM »

Instead, I immediately put on CAT PEOPLE recorded off TCM last night. I had read some reviews of the Val Lewton DVDs that said the more famous of the films had the worse transfers on the DVDs, and I suspect CAT EPOPLE being one of the most famous means that finding good elements must have been difficult. This looked fine about 70% of the time, but then there was that other 30% that had water spots and other print damage.

The movie was as atmospheric as always.

Went right into THE SEVENTH VICTIM (which I've never seen), but I had to put it on hold about 15 minutes into it. I'll finish it when I go back downstairs.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #139 on:** October 20, 2005, 01:15:47 PM »

In today's mail:

DVD -- MGM Midnite Movies Double Feature of "What's the Matter With Helen" and "Whoever Slew Auntie Roo"

Ephemera -- Original title cards for "The Robe" and "Ben-Hur" (post-Oscar wins)

CD: Rhino CD of "Cabin in the Sky" (the one title in Rhino's initial soundtrack series of MGM musicals that I'd never gotten).

Also good health vibes to Danise.

I read that, too. It's a Sunday night during holiday season when it's almost guaranteed a low audience. Of course, they could have chosen a Saturday night when there would have been NO audience.

Nice mail selection, DR RLP.

Matt H. · « **Reply #144 on:** October 20, 2005, 01:53:53 PM »

Just to remind that Kelsey Grammer's version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL aired on SUnday night last year during December to DISMAL ratings.

And ONCE UPON A MATTRESS isn't even a holiday-themed musical.

Wonder how many songs from the original will make it into this version. No TV version yet has done the music justice.

A friend who's off work tomorrow afternoon is coming over to see BATMAN BEGINS with me on Friday afternoon, so I should be able to post my thoughts about it late afternoon tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #146 on:** October 20, 2005, 02:23:10 PM »

OK, off to clean the bedrooms now and then settle in for a full night of TV.

BTW, Richard Chamnberlain is actually playing a gay character on WILL & GRACE tonight. I'll be watching for sure.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #147 on:** October 20, 2005, 02:39:07 PM »

THE TENTH VICTIM, that's the one I want to see. Just looked it up, and it is now available on DVD. Mastroianni, Andress, and written by Robert Sheckley, one of my favorite writers.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #148 on:** October 20, 2005, 02:40:46 PM »

George I have that Banana Splits CD. Good stuff. That is also where I got songs from The Beagles cartoon, which are even better than the Splits, in my opinion.

LOL. I wanted to be a cowboy. My parents weren't thrilled about that and tried very hard to convince me I wanted an Annie Oakley outfit. I persisted and finally got my cowboy outfit (generic), with hat, holster, guns, etc. and even got to wear jeans.

A Paladin outfit, cards included is so cool.
