I'm so mellow.  I'm wearing yellow.  Perhaps I'll eat some Jell-O.  Maybe call someone and say Hell-O.

For me, the 60s was a great decade for songs.  I love Moon River and Days Of Wine and Roses.  I love Sealed With A Kiss and She Cried.

This isn't from the sixties, but since you're in such a mellow mood, maybe you need a Mellow Tone:

IN A MELLOW TONE
By Duke Ellington/Milt Gabler

In a mellow tone
Feelin' fancy free
And I'm not alone
I've got company
Everything's ok
The live-long day
With this mellow song
I can't go wrong

In a mellow tone
That's the way to live
If you mope and groan
Something's gotta give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
You know there's joy unknown
In a mellow tone

In a mellow tone
that's the way to live
If you mope and groan
Something's got to give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
You know there's joy unknown
In a mellow tone

Just go your way
And laugh and play
You know there's joy unknown
In a mellow tone

;D

BK, do you know this song?  I wonder if it's something that Guy Haines might like to sing.  I only know The Manhattan Transfer's version (I got the lyrics from their website), but I just love this song and their version of it. :)

Well, I must toddle off to the bedroom environment for my mellow sleep.  I've been watching ten or fifteen minutes of Acorn Antiques - The Musical every night - I think you probably have to know the series to truly get it, but it's very amusing and enjoyable.

Good morning, all!  

Dear Friend BK, "The past is another country; they do things differently there" is the great opening line from the novel THE GO-BETWEEN, and I believe Harold Pinter keeps the line in his screenplay.

Tom Murray, my able Dr Watson is back in town today, so we will be working on THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER for several hours.  I cannot remember if we are going beyond noon, and if we are not, I shall hie myself over to RealMusic and maybe edit Act Two of JOSEPH AND . . . DREAMCOAT.

When I get back, I'll call my Dad at the hospital, and rumble through more 2006 receipts.

TOD:  Moon River
          Goldfinger
          Downtown
          Help!
          Eleanor Rigby
          Up, Up And Away
         The scores to: FUNNY GIRL, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED . . ., THE FANTASTICKS, DRAT! THE CAT, THE APPLE TREE,  CABARET, HAIR, and a ton of shows

RE: the ending. Noooooooooooo!!!!!  First we assumed claire was 17 and then last week they announced she was 15 (??? who becomes co-captain at 15?). And now peter is her uncle! I'm guessing a lot of people will not be happy by this (although apparently the promos ruined the surprise). I guess i stopped watching them at the right time. Although it was hard not watching the preview for next week.  

I am one of those people who liked the chemistry between peter and claire (when i thought she was going to be turning 18). But i guess the writers wanted to make sure there was absolutely no possibility of that.

So is hiro's father gone for good. That was sort of short and slightly pointless.

I can't say i was surprised by the reveal of claire's father. I mean there are only a handful of people who are in the right age group. and even fewer who are heroes.

The whole niki thing was weird. Her getting out of jail. And i don't really get how she can be in the mirror.

I like hiro a lot better with his powers. He's not as cute without the little squint.

I like peter and claude a lot. I like the cheerleader a lot.

RE: heroes.

This is one of the websites listed in the email.
Okay i suck. Because nothing happens when i click on the "P". :)

http://www.samantha48616e61.com/

ADDED: you have to click on the helix (on the P) but only on the "about us" page. It didn't say that in the other email i got. So i was clicking on the "P" on the home page.

Tuesday morning greetings!  Another cold, cold, cold morning here in SW Ohio with a huge snowstorm predicted for today.  I'm expending huge amounts of  emotional energy worrying about getting home this afternoon.

BK, I love the Go-Between.  It's just a delicious, wonderful movie with great performances by Alan Bates, Julie Christie, Edward Fox, Margaret Leighton, et al.  For my money, it was the best film of the year it came out.

TOD, just off the top of my head:

The Impossible Dream
Daydreamer
The Shelter of Your Arms
He's A Rebel
Hundred Pounds of Clay
Every Breath I Take (Gene Pitney version)
His Latest Flame (have to go with Tomovoz on this one)
Baby, The Rain Must Fall
Once Upon Time
Just A Little Loving


I'm sure if I researched it or thought about it a little longer, there be a whole different ten, but I'll stick with this for the nonce.

Re:  HEROES

*****  HERE THERE BE SPOILERS  *****

I was disappointed with the reveal of Clair's birth father--it does pretty much dead end any possibility of a future relationship between her and Peter.  Also, it's just too coincidental that another two SG's got together at some point to conceive an SG child--they already have this situation with Nikki, D.L. and Micha.  I think it just makes the storyline too pat and confined.

Also disappointed with Hiro's family turing out to be wealthy and well connected.  Did I miss anything in the early episodes that established him as anything but a guy stuck in a drudge job?  It sort of takes away from his quest to be a true hero knowing that he always has his family to fall back on.

But I'm being picky.  I still overall find this show fun and exciting to watch and I'm coming to like it more than LOST.

TOD: Getting the list down to ten is not an easy task...so here is a top ten list which, as CP says, could change if asked again. But I love all ten of these songs.

1. Walk Away Renee - The Left Banke
2. In the Year 2525 - Zager and Evans
3. 96 Tears - ? and the Mysterians
4. Bristol Stomp - The Dovells
5. Born Free - Andy Williams
6. Classical Gas - Mason Williams
7. To Sir With Love - Lulu
8. Georgy Girl - The Seekers
9. Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock
10. The Look of Love - Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66


All of these songs guarantee that the car radio will get turned up really loud (to drown out my singing).
