"A House Is Not a Home"

"One Less Bell"

And here's one for Babs, singing both of them at once!    :)

I think DR Michael Shayne has been checking his Dionne Warwick CD.
I don't think Mr Bacharach would claim "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". (Cynthia, Barry & Phil)

I've always liked the melody used in "Butch Cassidy ...." - "Where's There's A Heartache". The Sandpipers sing it on one of their albums.

"Windows Of The World" is also quite beautiful.   Jimmie Rodgers had a wonderful version.

Our pleasure DR JMK!

I thought "Sharks of Australian Waters" would have been less welcome.

(Of course DR TCB probably does not know that "Austria" has sharks)

A conversation (and a resultant compilation on CD of versions of the theme) after watching "Laura" led me to eventually replace my old vinyl recording of Percy Faith's "Bouquet".

I'd not had "Bouquet of Love".

Such a beautiful CD.

(DR JMK will be pleased that others share his joy in Percy Faith recordings)

I will also list Diana Trask's recording of "Long Ago Last Summer" as a favourite Bacharach/David song.

I've been listening all day to THE LOOK OF LOVE:  THE BURT BACHARACH COLLECTION on my iPod.  This looks to me to be a cheapie 2-disc set, but I prefer it to the enormous TIMELESS compilation.  Aside from being more concise, it has a recording of "Nikki", of which I'm also a fan.  The only off-moment is an Areatha Franklin cover of "I Say a Little Prayer", which isn't bad but lacks the punch of the Dionne Warwick original.

Richard and I attended Mrs. Brown's memorial service this morning.  Aside from those to whom I'm related by blood or by marriage, she was the woman who had the most influence on my life.  It will take a while to recover from this one.

On a brighter note, I also had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and was told to stop taking the blood thinners - hoo and ray.  Bring on the broccoli!

Those larger CD sets have the same problem as did the Readers Digest Boxed Sets of Records - they tend to stay on the shelf!

Randy Newman, Babs, Bacharach, Billy Joel, Elton John, Dusty Springfield, The Temptations, Jo Stafford, Marty Robbins, Chicago etc.

Of course they are stored on a different shelf - book Shelf!

Lovely to know that you were able to attend the service.  There are few people (other than family)that we can single out as major influences on our journeys through life.  Sad with her passing but also quite lovely that you shared that influence with the DRs here.  I suspect that it has given a few of us cause to reflect on influences and choices.

Here's the light switch I was complaining about the other night. Still have to figure out how to fix this



Suggestion: replace the two single toggel switch boxes  with a single two-toggle box and you'll save at least an inch in width:

Hah! I was going to suggest the same thing!

I think that if I were ever to direct a production of LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, I would have the cast take their bows to the theme from CASINO ROYALE and then lead the audience in a go-go dance party.

On the not coming up with new ideas for American TV - it now seems that a USA version of wonderful UK Comedy "Gavin & Stacey" will be made.

 - and of Gavin & Stacey - I watched "The History Boys" again the other night. How wonderful to see that the career of James Corden is building so well.

It had better be! It's scheduled to air on PBS American Masters in October '09.

I'm sorry Ginny-- grieving is a long and often unexpexted (and inconvenient) process.  But you were there and knew what you had in your life (instead of realizing it after the fact).  That is priceless.

Congratulaions on your blood!  (Sounds like a new category of greeting cards!)
