Sue: Harold and I are going to the mountains next week.

Joan: Himalaya?

Sue: No, silly, we're just friends.

Is there a RIMSHOT in the house?

Harold Pinter did not write word Plays. Silence was the substitute.

Edi-I hope you are feeling better & your allergies don't turn into a cold.

I already feel better, which is good because we're cranking out a lot of spots today plus I have a full session at night--new contert for TBS My Boys. It's all improv so it should be interesting...

George, since I might not be around on Friday (company is coming on Saturday) I'm sending your parents early anniversary wishes.

I'm hoping their special day is a good luck charm.

Craig's girlfriend is flying from Bucharest to NY, and then from NY to Pittsburgh. She has only flown once before & didn't care for it. Craig was with her on that trip, this time she will be carrying the cat in a carry-on bag. This isn't a sweet gentle cat, plus she has been crying very loudly since Craig and Yogi left

At least on the first leg of the trip a Peace Corp friend of Craig’s will be with her. He will also help get her from Delta to Jet Blue for her flight to Craig.

Edi I'm glad to hear that.

Surprisingly I don't have that many versions of "Caravan". The first one I purchased was by "Santo & Johnny" on an E.P. with the theme from "Come September". The S & J version was a much bigger seller here than Bobby Darin's version thought Darren did make it to #2 with "Multiplication" from the same movie.

And That Reminds Me (A Della Reese reference)

The S & J E.P. also included "Blue Moon". I guess I would have quite a few versions of that.

The correct answer to the Zulus question is, "No. I won!"

As in Long John Baldy whence Elton John derived half of his name?
He had a few hit here.

That's the one. I was wondering if you happened to know the name of the woman blues singer who sang back on the album "It Ain't Easy".

Elton John produced and played/sang on some of his albums. He also gave Rod Stewart his start...

Tomovoz · « **Reply #283 on:** June 20, 2007, 03:45:43 PM »

I know he sang with Kathi McDonald.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #284 on:** June 20, 2007, 03:47:42 PM »

It would have been Maggie Bell I suspect.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #285 on:** June 20, 2007, 03:51:18 PM »

Maggie is Scottish and was the lead singer of "Stone the Crows"

FJL · « **Reply #286 on:** June 20, 2007, 03:59:40 PM »

Isn't "stone the crows" a lyric in Joseph...

Tomovoz · « **Reply #287 on:** June 20, 2007, 04:00:32 PM »

I thought was from Nun's Story.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #288 on:** June 20, 2007, 04:00:59 PM »

Maybe it was Nunsense where the crows were stoned.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #289 on:** June 20, 2007, 04:01:20 PM »

Or was it Stowing Thrones in Grasshouses.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #290 on:** June 20, 2007, 04:02:54 PM »

"Stone The Crows" is still a saying used by people of my "vintage" or older.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #291 on:** June 20, 2007, 04:04:30 PM »

People who dwell in Adelaide or in the State of South Australia are known as "Crow Eaters", Queenslanders are "Banana Benders".

In the Northen Oz states, Victorians such as myself are referred to as Mexicans.

I'm certain hearing you say this is why Vincent painted the crows in the wheat field.

And, of course, there's no fun had with that phrase in Australia.

I have just read all of DR Ron Pulliam's posts. My mind is agog! There is just no suitable rejoinder.

Harrumph. All I got was an "agog"?

I expected an "agape" and an "aghast", as well.

Thank you!

Have I missed something?

S. Woody's last post was four days ago.

Der Brucer's last post was three days ago.

Do you suppose they both fell and can't get up?

(Does anyone know what's up for real?)
