I haven't seen YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT in years, but I thought it was deadly dull the last time I watched it.

As for the Topic of Day...

The only Jerry Herman score I'm really familiar with is Mack & Mabel.  "Times Heals Everything" and "I Won't Send Roses" are particular favorites.  -And on those rare occasions when an actress brings in "Wherever He Ain't" to an audition, and gets to sing the whole song, and gets the whole build of it right.... LOVE IT!

Least favorite and song I would NEVER miss if all copies were destroyed today so that it could never ever ever EVER be sung again:

Ribbons Down My Back

You and me both, DR JRand!  In fact, I'd even spring for the can of gasoline and the book of matches.

Thanks for the Rick & Steve pics, DR JRand. What role does Alan Cumming play in the show? The crippled old man?

TOD:
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know my Herman scores as well as I should... I saw Carol Channing's 4,000th or 4500th "Dolly" lo these many years ago, and spent many a beery Saturday night singing "Bosom Buddies" at various and sundried piano bars, but never really spent the time to learn all the master's songs. One of these days, I suppose... I love his bittersweet songs ("Time Heals Everything," "If He Walked..." "Look Over There"), and an old friend did a killer version of "Wherever He Ain't" that made me love that song as well.

Whew!  It's nice to know I'm not alone in my Jerry-Herman-lacking-ness.

In fact - and I think I've admitted this before here on HHW - I don't ever recall seeing a complete Jerry Herman show all the way through.  Either on stage or on film.  -Although, when I was in high school, one of the "Grand Dames" of the community theatre scene in Northern Virginia had already pegged me as a "Sondheim Queen" and not a "Herman Queen".  I guess his "prediction" came true.

DR Jose asked if anyone watched or liked this year's winner.

I love this show. And actually really loved 2 of the final 3 (chantal and jenah),. They were my two favorites from the start.

I actually really disliked Bianca (who left last week). She was so mean.

But i am also really unhappy with the winner.  I don't find her pics to be very good over the season.  I hate her haircut.  And i thought her CoverGirl photo was bad (and her commercial just okay). I was really disappointed that she won. And also really disappointed that they dumped jenah after that huge breakthrough. Why bother to do that and then dump her moments later?

And it appears we're back.  Well, at least HHW is back after the "server stopped responding" for a couple of minutes.

I was actually really puzzled by the makeup treatment for the Cover Girl commercial.  It may have been my TV, but the makeup looked really unnatural - practically neon - and even the hair styling was unflattering.

I awoke to a call about the site being down.  It took about a minute to get on the board (the notes came up instantly), but it seems to be fine now - was it just for a couple of minutes?

I gotta tell you.  They don't make lapels like that anymore do they (the photo where David is singing to me - and WHY is David singing to me?).

BK, you should check out Airto's Identity (BMG) and I'm Fine, How Are You? (WB).  You will love, love, love them.  After you've gotten them, we'll move backwards to Airto's mid-60s Brasilian group with the amazing (Albino) multi-instrumentalist and composer Hermeto Pascoal.  Oh, you should get some Hermeto albums, too.   ;D

So are we, DR JRand, and it has me very worried.  I'm supposed to teach the December edition of Grantseeking Basics Saturday morning at 9:30.

JERRY HERMAN with Angela Lansbury

Jerry Herman is one of America's foremost songwriters. Frequently compared to Irving Berlin, he does it all -- composes both the music and the lyrics.

If you profess to like musicals, you MUST know about  Jerry Herman. Educate yourself at http://www.jerryherman.com/.
