Trivia: (I've just been doing some recording).
What was the last musical on Broadway to produce 4 top 5 hits (and a couple of other ones as well) in the US Top pop charts?

I'd guess Hair

Good to see some other Northern Exposure fans around here. In addition to the extreme quirkiness of it, and some fantastic character portrayals, it was always an extra bit of fun for me to see the tiny town of Roslyn (just a half-hour from my hometown) in the role of Cicely, Alaska, and occasionally seeing folks I know as extras. I've been to The Brick a number of times, and I gotta say, the Cicely version is definitely more to my taste than the real thing.

FYI, the apostrophe and 's' have been removed from the Roslyn Cafe wall painting since the series ended (they were added for the show). Last time I was in town, however, they still had the window with "Dr. Joel Fleischman" painted in the corner. Another friend of mine who was a fan of the show has a hammer from the flung piano!

Shortly after the show ended, I saw John Cullum in Seattle in Man of La Mancha, and another NE alum, Peg Phillips, was just a few seats from me. She stepped on my foot at intermission.

It is a beautiful day out and I’m about to enjoy the sunshine while I help Keith plant the first of our Walla Walla onions.

Trivia Question II -

What show has a Walla Walla song?

Hi all!

I am back after a long absence. For some reason, I haven't been compelled to get online for a few days now. I hope everyone is doing well. I might get caught up on all the posts by tomorrow, and then I can get back to regular posting. The thing is, I may be giving up online time for a few days a week for Lent...I'm still making a decision. I've missed you!

Spot on. 1969. Nina Simone sang "Ain't Got No - I Got Life" and Julius LaRosa sang "Where Do I Go". I think the other 4 would be rather more well known.

Don't know if you're kidding or not, DR Michael Shayne, but BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE was a sequel (which concerned guys trying to loot the ship before it sank).

What I read was that the original film was going to be remade.

AMERICAN IDOL had easily superior singers to last week's bunch, but other than the final contestant Latoya who was very good, I thought each of them had weaknesses.

Once again, the guys were outsung, and Hawaiian Jonah was certainly the worst singer of the night with a grotesque case of galloping melisma affecting his singing.

The seventh singer, Leah, who got very good reviews from the judges, was 17 years old but had a very old sounding voice with a much wider vibrato than any teenager has any right to have at this point in her singing career.

What seemed to be the overwhelming pattern for me tonight was that almost all of the singers had weak high registers in comparison with their chest voices.

Besides Latoya, my other favorite of the night was the Lumbee Indian Charly. Unfortunately, she chose "Chain of Fools" for her rendition, and it didn't do much to show off her powerful voice. I was upset that her line was not busy at all when I called for her. Latoya's line was constantly busy assuring her a place in the top 12.

DR Swish: Good vibes to you and your neighbors ~~~~~~~~~

My gosh, how very sad. I actually feel really bad for the lady who was driving that van. Even though it wasn't her fault, she will have to live with that forever. I'm not sure I could live with that guilt.

Congrats to DR Laura II: great news about the new job!

I'm going to talk briefly about tonight's AMERICAN IDOL. So if you haven't seen it, then don't read any further (it's almost over on the West Coast, & I'd assume anyone who watches it would be watching it now and not reading this).

I'm just going to say who I liked (so I don't really consider that a spoiler - if this doesn't work for anyone here, please let me know and I won't post same night reports).

My favorite was the last girl (is her name Latoya?).
I do like Leah (the second to last girl, very pretty whose parents are from Bulgaria).
But I also love the 2 guys: pen salesman & Clay look alike. I really really like them.
I also like pink hair girl.

I won't say who I think will advance till tomorrow morning (after everyone has watched the shows and can comment).

Good night all.

Okay, I know there are a few country & western listeners out there - - well, i could hear you breathing - - might I be so bold as to recommend a certain Joe Nichols for your listening pleasure?

Nice blend of traditional, honky-tonk and popular country.
(Easy on the eyes, too)

Just so we can all talk about the people by name:

Pen salesman = Jon Peter

I thought his high register was especially terrible but I liked his chest voice.

Clay look-alike = Eric

I thought he was fine but not outstanding

pink haired girl = Amy

Again, her head voice and chest voice were ill matched and prevented me from voting for her. Her chest voice was quite good, however. Wish she hadn't opted to soar up into a wan soprano for some notes.

I wish these folks would stay out of their head voices when they aren't well developed. It truly weakens the effectiveness of their renditions.

I thought besides Latoya and Charly, that Elizabeth, the first singer of the night, was very good. I didn't vote for her since I restrict myself to voting for whom I consider the two best singers, but it wouldn't surprise me if she made it into the Top 3 tomorrow night.
