I presume BK meant chose a decade from the last century and not any decade from any century.

I would chose the 1920's. It seemed to be a lot of fun. However I would return to present day on October 23, 1929. I wouldn't want to stick around to see what happened afterwards

As Druxy said, each decade is going to have its upside and downside.  Personally, I think we're all born when we're supposed to be - I don't know that I would have been able to have whatever existence I have now in any other decade.  While certain things appeal to me, styles of clothing and music and film and stage, etc. other things do not appeal to me in any way, shape, or form.

So, how are the Bobcats doing?

Penn State        14
Ohio                   3

Souunds kind of like Miami/OSU, but the Buckeyes have scored 3 touchdowns.

  Frankly, I am a bit surprised that ESPN is showing a Penn State game, especially kicking off the college season.

Maybe it's taking a stand to recognize that not a single one of the current Penn State students on the team had anything to do with the scandal nor should any of the students who are playing on the team today have to be held responsible or be penalized for the actions of those three or four people who did the disgraceful acts.

Or,as some cynics have said, maybe it was a ratings decision justified by the above rationale - who knows?

Fred, I totally agree with you.  However, all of the current students and staff are being punished for past mistakes; so I am surprised that they would allow Penn State to receive the big bucks for appearing in a nationally televised game.

In what way do you mean all of the current students and staff  being punished?     if you mean by the governing powers of college sports, then that would be the point - CAVEAT:  IF THE ARGUMENT FOLLOWS AT ALL AND IT'S NOT ABOUT RATINGS OF COURSE  - that THOSE people are punishing the current students, but different people disagree with what THOSE people are doing and won't p[erpetuate it by doing the same thing.

Max Bygraves has died at the age of 89.

In case our North American readers are not familiar with Max Bygraves he was in the musical Do Re Mi in London playing the role that Phil Silvers did on Broadway.

I always thought of him as an international star but maybe not.

Matthew - thanks for that info.  Great when people do things for love of doing it!

[Ginny]

Make that 4 Buckeye touchdowns...

Let's just say that the first production of the show I saw was the pre-Broadway LA engagement, and then other one was a semi-professional production with 2 AEA actors.  One was Coalhouse who had severe pitch issues and the other was Mother who was a legit soprano.

Ohio has now scored a touchdown, so it is 14 - 10 now.

I mean the scholarship reductions and the four year ban on post-season bowls games that may well hurt the chances of some Penn State athletes to be properly judged for professional carreers in football.

Who imposed those?  were they imposed by the school, or by external people?

Well, Doug, we consider you an international star!

Doug, how far from London is Dover?

[TCB]

Ohio has moved ahead 17 to 14.

[FJL]

Doug, how far from London is Dover?

Dover would move ahead if it would move its bloomin arse (a My fair Lady reference)

[elmore3003]

Moross' "Willie The weeper" is one chromatic nightmare and the original piano score makes no sense. It's time to break, go home, find the published vocal score, and resume tomorrow. One of the BALLET BALLADS is proofed. One is begun, and the third waits. Oy!

Stevie Wonder wanted to move to Dover, because he heard they had sole.

WILLIE THE WEEPER is the name of the show?

Not that many people know that the famous Stevie Wonder song was originally called YOU CAN FEEL IT ALL DOVER (SIR FLUKE)


but was changed to You can feel it all over (Sir Duke)   because some were afraid of the fish references



there is a reason not that many people know that.

I wonder if Social Security sells lists of e-mail addresses of people on Disability.  I must get four or five e-mails a day offering to sell me life insurance.  Somebody thinks I am going to croak.

T.O.D.


I think I would opt for the 1950's; not as the very, very, very young child that I was during the actual era, but as an adult, probably in my late twenties.  I realize that the Fifties were not quite the sepia-tinged era that we like to remember, but there was, indeed, a sense of innocence, or naiveté, that was almost golden.  I suppose because we were on the threshold of so many massive changes in the world that would alter our life and our life-style forever.
