Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like an opening night, and now it is time for you to post until the veritible cows come home - they're playing What's My Line (SPOILER - the first guest is a cow).

Whilst I like Pet Clarke's songs I find it difficult to listen to more than a few songs in a row.

I like her her pre "Downtown" material like "Romeo", My Friend the Sea" and "Whistling for the Moon".

I tend to prefer her less successful pop hits like "Cat in The Window" and "Heart" and "You'd Better Come Home".

I've always loathed the very repetitive "My Love" and "You're The One".

Good morning, all!  And a special good moring hug to DR Tomovoz!

I enjoyed nearly all of my evening at home quite a lot except for the 30-minute update call from my sister-in-law which depressed me to no end: my father has lost 10 more lbs in the past several days and his doctors have decided to reduce the dosage on his next chemo since his body has reacted so badly to the first round.  

My immediate reaction, beyond bursting into tears and fighting the urge to wail, is to hop a plane to Ohio, but once there, besides being with him, what would I do?  Damned if I do and damned if I don't, and it's not a comfortable position.  On a much cheerier note, I spent about an hour on the phone catching up with my dear friend Larry Hochman, who was robbed of his Tony Award for SPAMALOT.

So, today:  Toyland for a couple of hours, then the Moross opera.  After that, I don't know.

TOD:
  Downtown
  Don't Sleep in the Subway

You and I
Walk Through The World
(Both from the MGM musical presentation of Goodbye Mr. Chips)

I Know A Place
and she is one of the better singers who have recorded the oft recorded songs: Tell Me Its Not True and Norma's Songs from Sunset Blvd.

and of course
Downtown which I never get tired of hearing and as a matter of fact I am listening to it as I write these words right now.

"Downtown," "Sign of the Times," and her first greatest hits LP features a song I LOVE that she co-wrote I think, called "Two Rivers."

"In this heart, with every beat, two rivers flow. Two rivers meet. And love. And love."

Saturday morning greetings!  The torrential rains in which I drove home Thursday evening and to work Friday morning ushered in gloriously cool, clear skies.  It's a beautiful day in the Miami Valley and my first all-information-waitressing 5th day of the week.

DR Elmore - thoughts and prayers :-*

Travel vibes for DRs Rodzinski & TPunk!

Bye 'til lunch time!

Comfortable, dry weather predicted for today and tomorrow.  Hurray!

I am selling tickets for THE SOUND OF MUSIC tonight, which will be easy.  There ain't none....none for the rest of the run.  The word is out.  If you ain't got a ticket, you ain't gonna see the show.

Well DR RLP - Miss Hayes was never dressed by the Minsky costumer, however she certainly followed the dictum of another big star, Miss Jayne Mansfield:

"To be in the movies it helps if you can act a little, but you certainly don't have to go around covered up with a blanket."

I woke up very early today.  But for the first time in a while I will be spending my Saturday alone.  I usually go shopping with my mom and my sister (and niece).  But my mom is out of town. And my sis and little megan are off to a birthday party.

Good morning!

It rained during the night and is still overcast here which means it's cool and wonderful. I have doors and windows open with the attic fan cooling off the whole house, and I couldn't be happier.

The high today is to be 82, considerably cooler than the last week's highs.

Favorite Petula Clark songs:

"Downtown"

"I Know a Place"

"Don't Sleep in the Subway"

"London Is London"

"You and I"

I saw her in the national tour of SUNSET BLVD. and though she did very, very well, my dislike of the show precluded my being blown away by her. Wish I could have seen her in something else, possibly her Maria in THE SOUND OF MUSIC would have pleased me more.

I have THE INNOCENTS lined up for DVD play at some point today.

Laserdisc-wise, I'll be watching WORDS AND MUSIC.
