Good morning, all! I didn't get out of bed until 8:00, and I am still moving very slowly.

I have to be at goddaughter Charlotte's  musical theatre class presentation at 7:00pm at Ripley Grier, which is less than 10 blocks from Toyland, so I will go in later and work until it's time to walk there.  I'll leave here around 1pm and head down.

DR JohnG, I thought the CD and DVD of A TALE OF CINDERELLA were both out of print! My memoryof the mix on the DVD is that it's different from the VCR, which I preferred. I have problems with the show, but I can't complain; it made me a lot of money, and I always liked working for the now dead New York State Theatre Institute. They were good people.

More coffee!
They were good people. And I hope to have time this weekend to watch Cinderella.

I didn't know there was a filmed version. I'd have bought it a long time ago. Any other filmed versions of shows you've worked on, Larry?

Nope. Not that I know of.

One thing I will never understand is why some people get all in a huff if you say "Happy Holidays" during this season, rather than "Merry Christmas."

What is tarnation is wrong with being all inclusive of the holidays occuring during December?

I mean really, why would you want to say "Merry Christmas" when it is actually Hanukkah?

DR TCB, I am rather surprised you would make such a comment. I for one have several Muslim friends, none of whom would be angry by any kind of greeting...Christian, Jewish, or otherwise.

I just realized that too much of the month has slipped away from me and I never made the Tennessee Jam Cake I wanted to have on Christmas. It takes three weeks for all the flavors to settle, and, well, there's no longer enough time. What a shame.

Guess I'll have to make something else. Any suggestions?

ASK BK DAY QUESTION

Rewording a question from the other day.

I was wondering why you chose to register your songs with ASCAP over BMI. Is there a difference between the two organizations?



No difference at all - I've always been an ASCAP writer - don't know why really.

Jam cake? It's made with two types of jam (I usually use blackberry and raspberry, though fig is good -- whatever homemade stuff I have on hand), a bunch of dried fruit (dried cherries and blueberries work best in my mind, though figs, dates, raisins, currants and cranberries work), pecans, warm spices (cinnamon, allspice), eggs, flour, sugar and butter. Then you make it in a tube pan. Let it set for three weeks and before serving, you make a caramel frosting and top with pecan halves.

Mom won a blue ribbon at the Kentucky State Fair with it one year. To use a word that has largely been neglected on the site as of late: Faboo. Utterly and totally faboo.

Or oobaf, backwards.

I wanted something to be faboo.....I was praying that it would be faboo.....but it was not.

What am I talking about?  Well.....many years....no DECADES....ago - during the Holiday Season, or Christmas Season - if you will - there used to be television SPECIALS featuring all of the STARS of music and comedy.  They were almost always in garish color with big audiences and big bands....and lots of dancing....  And I loved watching these SPECIALS that were worthy of that designation.

Well....on Monday night I watched the Christmas Special from NBC starring one of my favorite performers Mr Michael Buble.  And it was ... well NOT faboo.  In fact it was pretty awful.

The setting and the band were great.....the color was nice (although there were a couple of transmission breaks).....Mr Buble had three special guests....Rod Stewart, Blake Shelton, and Carly Rae Jepson....oh and Elmo.

ALL of the musical numbers were prerecorded, with the exception of a duet with Blake Shelton.  There was no POINT to the whole thing....  Michael bounced around pretending to sing and the show just bolted and jolted along.....stopping now and then for a duet....  And the different hand positions and other things certainly pointed to the fact that all of the songs were made of up multiple takes....

THEN Michael sang "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby through some digital magic....and I would swear that the Bing Crosby on tape looked embarrassed.....

ANYWAY I was very disappointed......so I guess it was the Michael Buble Home For Christmas NO SO Special on NBC....last Monday night.

I, too, miss those Christmas specials, JRand. I hear the Danny Kaye Christmas specials have come out on DVD this year, I have a couple of Red Skelton's old Christmas specials, and you can find clips of Miss Mitzi Gaynor singing songs from her specials on YouTube. But there are not many people known enough to get such treatment. Maybe Miss Sandy Bainum will get a Christmas special.

At my niece's school Christmas concert they sang Christmas songs. And one class sang one Chanukah song.

But when the concert was over the principal came out and wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year. Then after she said if you don't celebrate Christmas she wished people happiness whatever they celebrate.

I would not be offended if someone wished me a Merry Christmas. But I found it very odd that the principal didn't just wish people happy holidays. It just seemed weird to me the way she did it.

Ed French IS Orson Welles.

Ed, incidentally, is an Emmy winner and Oscar nominee.  He is a master special effects make-up artist.

That's a brilliant Welles sound-alike.

Greetings from Toyland! I've been here about an hour dealing with email tasks. It seems odd arriving at the office about the time I generally leave it

The floor is very quiet today. I'm listening to a Roger Wagner Chorale recording of Christmas music that is either very soft or very loud!

I find it more irritating than entertaining.
