EUREKA!!! Yes, I have discovered them. What are "they"? They are my four Patty Duke LP's. I knew they were somewhere, I knew it.

Patty Duke - Don't Just Stand There. This album also contains "Downtown", "Danke Shoen", "What the World Needs Now Is Love", and "The End of the World." So if you wanted some real Patty song-gilla, look for this album.

PATTY! - wearing a Mod vertically-striped straight-legged pantsuit. Here she sings "Yesterday", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", and "I Love How You Love Me." But then of course Annette sang a Beatles tune on one of her albums, too - so this one is middling. $:-\$

VALLEY OF THE DOLLS and OTHER SONGS - you have this one.

BILLIE - Original Motion Picture Score includes "Funny Little Butterflies" and "Lonely Little In Between" by Patty and the boys chorus (the movie included Fury's Bobby Diamond) singing "The Girl Is a Girl is a Girl."

Dear BK--

When you speak with Harry Groener and tell him that it was Dear Reader JRand that he was talking to in the Costco in Glendale (when, in fact, it was Dear Reader Charles Pogue), do ask him about his experience working with Miss Patty Duke in Follies for Reprise! a couple of years ago, and what he thought of her, um, performance.

I know it was yesterday's topic, but what the hay! Another of the Oscar songs I don't care for is one you've been talking about today - "Never on Sunday." Now it fits the movie just fine, but I MUCH preferred "The Green Leaves of Summer" that year.

"This Land Is Mine" was made from the main title music from EXODUS.

DR MattH is correct, but the song's title, IIRC, is "The Song from 'Exodus.'"

Lyrics are by Pat Boone.

TomFromOz: I do hope you don't mind my referring to you in the old way.

I am cajoled into pointing out to you that you're a WHOLE YEAR YOUNGER where I am than you are WHERE YOU ARE!

And that is how I shall always remember you...fresh and vibrant and ever-youthful as you are today!

The alternative is too painful to contemplate!!!

Ha ha. Too funny. Actually I was thinking that maybe her great review of you shouldn't count, since she probably couldn't see you.

LOL DRJennifer.....usually there are only a half dozen or so shoppers at WalMart that early. This morning there were probably 2 dozen - and lots of employees - I mean associates - working to get ready for later in the day. Most of our WalMarts, a few grocery stores, and some Drugstores are open 24 hours.

It is a bit like shopping in a Fellini movie - and I enjoy being part of it.

Why would they stay open for 2 dozen shoppers?

It just seems so bizarre to me that your mother and sister would actually want to do this with you. I don't know anybody would would get up in the middle of the night to go to Walmart (which is just okay).

Oh well so did you buy much?

At least you probably didn't have to wait in line to pay

Thomas Dolby, that's it! They're still married, but as far as I know she's not acting anymore.

Breakfast with MusicGuy was divoon. He had a short stack and bacon, I had bacon and eggs.

Well, I think it would be primarily because of restocking the shelves and cleaning the place.
Why not leave it open and make more money if the people are already there?

We have quite a few stores that are open 24 hours here in my Charlotte neighborhood including a grocery store, a couple of drug stores, not to mention WalMart. Seems silly until you get sick in the night and don't have what you need. Then you thank your lucky stars they're there!

Matt H. · « **Reply #130 on:** December 13, 2003, 07:51:40 PM »

Thomas Dolby? Yes, but does he carry his subwoofer around with him?

Matt H. · « **Reply #131 on:** December 13, 2003, 07:55:30 PM »

I watched an eerie little movie tonight for the first time - ONE HOUR PHOTO with Robin Williams. I like thrillers that aren't mainly about carnage, but the film ultimately made me rather depressed. Sad man with no life.

I'm sure fans of ALIAS' Michael Vartan were interested in the film just for his nude scenes.

Matt H. · « **Reply #132 on:** December 13, 2003, 07:58:46 PM »

I haven't read Patty Duke's CALL ME ANNA, so perhaps someone who has can answer this question:

Since Patty was a recording artist before she did VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, did it bother her that her voice for dubbed for her songs? I wonder if she's ever commented on this publicly?

Our local WalMart closes at ten. That's just as well, since der Brucer is exactly the sort who would shop through the night, given the opportunity.

The bars stay open until 1 here in Delaware; they used to be closed on Sunday, because of the blue laws, but can be open until 6 in the evening now. (This strikes me as a heavy bias towards the Christian churches, trying to con the everyday man to get the only decent drink in town via the sacramental wine.)

There are a couple of places nearby that are open the full 24: Food Lion, right across the highway, a pretty decent grocery store, and the Rehoboth Diner, where the waitresses are always friendly and the soup is always home made. Other than that, the sidewalks get rolled up, as they say. That's assuming there are sidewalks to roll, of course.

Before ONE HOUR PHOTO came on, I was able to watch the 1959 Miss America Pageant. Yep, Anita Bryant lost that contest in the Q&A segment where she was tongue-tied, unspontaneous, and slow-witted. Mary Ann Mobley, on the other hand, sealed her win with a bubbly personality that was open and warm.

Re: 24-hour stores.

It was many weeks ago
when another DR was baking
and found he lacked the necessary vanilla extract
that I asked why he didn't just go downstairs
and get some...
...this suggestion was met with mass confusion.
And yet 24-hour stores are not unknown to you folk
as these recent posts would indicate.

Happy Birthday, Tom From Oz

Someone ought to send that man a CD of a new musical...

A breaking story on FoxNews just now: some woman is claiming to be the late Senator Strom Thurmond's illegitimate daughter.

The first thing that came to my mind was...why?

The second thing was that this gives a whole new dimention to the phrase "doing the nasty."

Noel · « **Reply #137 on:** December 13, 2003, 09:46:42 PM »

Are we having technical difficulties, or has there really been an hour-long lull?

Or, perhaps, now that people have been made aware of the existence of 24-hour stores...

...could be that's where in tarnation everybody is.

Matt H.--agree about One Hour Photo. Robin Williams was really amazing though.

Wow...at this late hour you would I think I would be going to bed...but I'm actually off to study for finals.

Happy early birthday to Tomovoz!

I may not be around much tomorrow...it's going to be busy with studying and then I may go out with some friends. I'll try to check in though!

Goodnight, everyone!

Thanks you for the "Early" greetings Kimlets. I have been trying to post for half an hour but phone calls keep coming in - where are my priorities?
DR Ron: Close, but on Pat Boone 45rpm single it says "THE EXODUS SONG" (This Land Is Mine). Don't you hate pedants?
Had an amazing lunch at my favourite restaurant today. (Free glasses of port with our coffee from the owner/chef). Good company and a beautiful day. The restaurant is set in beautiful gardens where you can take a stroll between courses - sort of an intercourse stroll I guess (if you are really discreet).

Tomovoz · « **Reply #143 on:** December 13, 2003, 10:57:17 PM »

Birthday stroll with luncheon friends. Wonderful Restaurant and only 10 minutes drive away.

I see where Carnival Cruise Lines is offering savings of up to $1000.00 per person on selected cruises for current military members and veterans. Hmmm, I once dated a soldier, so I guess you could say that, technically, I was in the military

Tomovoz · « **Reply #145 on:** December 13, 2003, 11:07:38 PM »

Now that's my sense of humour. Should be able to take advantage of the "veteran" angle as well. Hope the cruises reach OZ. Wear a sailor suit and I'll be at the wharf waiting.

Only if you wear the earrings, TCB

Note about the vision problem - I can see just fine without contacts, I'm far sighted, that's all. And believe me, I could have seen the show just fine even if I'd been wearing a paper bag over my head. As I'm sure TCB will agree, the front row of that theatre is literaly about two feet from the stage...I almost had a kid trip over my feet a few times during exits...

Ann · « **Reply #149 on:** December 13, 2003, 11:24:03 PM »

On an unrelated note, where the hell is DR Jed. I've got finals to study for, and without him to distract me, I'm in real danger of actually getting something done!
