Well, I should probably wrap things up and head off for the theater!  Gotta run the chorus through a bit of last-minute review on a couple numbers and such before the show.  Will surely let all y'all know how it goes.

DR Jed, is this your opening night?  Kisses you know where!

Yes indeed MRCP, Molly Bee was in Chartroose Caboose, a movie she once claimed was so awful it wasn't released, it escaped!  ;D

She started out on the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show as a youngster and was also later on The Jimmy Dean Show.

Kenny Miller writes in his book, that he was seeing her for a time and she came to him and announced she was pregnant and they had to get married....it wouldn't do for America's Oldest Teenager at age 29 to have a baby out of wedlock.  Miller and Bee married and as he suspected the father of Bee's son was a famous Las Vegas performer.

In the early 1970's Bee lost her nose to cancer, so they made her a new one out of part of her ear (shades of Michael Jackson) and she and her fifth husband lived in Hawaii for a time and now live in Oceanside.

I found this here site, the Happiest Site on the Internet, through bk, who urged me to post. (Was still living in Boulder at the time.)
I resisted, even when he posed questions of the day such as "What is your favorite television movie?"... I resisted some more...then finally dipped a cyber toe and was shocked by the warm welcomes. Believe it or not, I'm a pretty shy and private person and have never done this sort of thing before. It took me a while to build momentum - even retired for a bit - but here I am. And happy to be here. Especially since moving back to LA and starting a new life. This isn't the easiest place to live and it's nice to know that there are friends around, just a keystroke away. It IS strange to have friends I've never met in person, but friends I do consider you.
Congrats on the 40,000, bk and for keeping the home fries burning in such a warm, inviting place with such a great group of denizens.

How did I find this site?  I'm not exactly sure anymore. ::) I remember discovering the CDs that BK had produced for Varèse Sarabande and loving those (I didn't know about The Real A or Sondheim.com until several years later).  Then I remember learning about the (then) new (now unmentioned) label and loving that (at the time).  However, after "The Separation", I didn't find out about HHW until quite a few months after it had been up and running, but I've been here ever since!  And I wouldn't have it any other way. ;D

In honor of our celebration, and because I have them here at work, I'm going to listen to all three of the Benjamin Kritzer CDs, as recorded by our very own Guy Haines, produced by our very own BK!!

Because I sent out two of my last few copies of Haines His Way today, I listened to it on the way to the post office - it's really a very nice album.  I wish I had more copies - at the time, I was accused (and I do mean ACCUSED) of having stolen something like 500 copies of the CD.  All I ever had was two and a half boxes - that was it.  Before Black Saturday, I'd been asking where they were, all these boxes of Haines CDs, and no one in the office could tell me - they'd just disappeared.  I've always thought they were somehow mis-labeled, and given the fact that "the company" said they had no copies, and then suddenly were selling them for five bucks a pop recently might just mean that they found them, which might just mean that the little peckerheads owe someone an apology (well, that would be 1% of the apology I am owed and will never get - well, I'll get it karma-wise).

BK, Haines His Way is a terrific album. You should get the guy to record more often...And I still think you should sent some to the standard stations in town and get some air time for them.

Maybe GH could do a "Randy Newman" album. His "Marie" is a glorious track.

I am now going to leave my house for the first time today - other than taking Wussberger (aka Abie) to the park. Being a writer is a solitary profession. Well, it is and it isn't. You're always surrounded in your head by dozens of interesting people, that's true. But the nature of the beast necessitates spending huge periods of time alone. Sometimes the only living, breathing people I talk to for days are on the phone. A friend of mine just finished a book. He tells me he left his house maybe six times in three months (he doesn’t have a dog). Food was brought over and left every few days and that was it. (He gained lots of weight. When eating is the only outside activity, you tend to do a lot of it).
But I'm now actually going out into the world -- to the grocery store --- and will see PEOPLE - might even talk to a few. I like to engage strangers in conversation. Part of this is the writer in me - curious about who they are; part of it is just needing to talk to someone not in my head or on the other end of a phone line.

So how did I find HHW? Warning: Long intro.

Years ago I was chatting a new neighbor, Nancy. I was moaning that I faced an impossible deadline, editing a huge (and boring) textbook. To make things worse, the publisher wanted different sections coded in different colors. It was a Sunday, and I asked Nancy if she had a green pen. No she didn't. But an hour later she knocked on my door. She had gone out and bought me one. I hold a special place in my heart for Nancy and a few other special people who have performed similar acts of kindness.

Fast forward to last summer when I got to chatting with with a DR on another site. She talked me into visiting HHW - the friendliest and smartest place on the Internet. That was definitely a green pen gesture. Thanks, Maya.

Dear Friend BK, long ago we talked about the talented Mr Haines doing "Guy and Dolls."  I thought that was a clever idea and title.

I'm fairly certain WSS had an intermission when it played Toronto. I found movie intermissions very annoying! I liked sitting there for hours. I did NOT want to leave the story and get up. I guess it was (is) different for the male of the species. (Not as if a woman could get into the Restroom unless she sprinted for the door the moment intermission started.)

I use to like double bills also-don't think I can sit that long anymore.  Now I know why my father was pleased when he could go to one movie at a time.  I didn't understand at the time.

Still trying to figure out how to work the gizmos.  My friend Sukunthy in the recording office sent me this.  I hope I don't send us into cinemascope.

As I recall, DR George, BK was talking to Mr Haines about a duet album with some lovely ladies on the Varese Sarabande albums.

I would love to have a NEW Guy Haines album...and Guy and Dolls is a great concept!   ;D

I loved MR BK's selections on the Haines His Way album....just more of the same would be fine for me.   :D

I came to HHW when Gabe's father JMK pointed me in this direction.  I started posting right away, and have made some great friends and acquaintances, and come to find out, I had several of Mr BK's CD's, and had even purchsed BENJAMIN KRITZER from Amazon just because I read the sample pages and liked it.

As we head to 100,000 posts - press on!

Or is it the Cat & Frog Pub?

A French/English joint I guess!

I'm sorry!  I feel so inadequate about the dancing smilies, I thought I'd play around with some of the gizmos and see if I could improve my skills.  That photo was the only thing I could locate, and it's my favorite of all the other bizarre cats in costumes she sent me.  Take some heavy drugs and groove!
