Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no struggle whatsoever, and now it is time for you to post until the occasionally struggling cows come home.

Good morning, all.

Happy Thursday vibes.

With regard to a TOD earlier this week, here's Lee Remick doing a trippy version of "Whatever Lola Wants" from an ultra-mod TV production of "Damn Yankees." She's quite good, even if the approach is dated.

Bill Murray:

Sally Field:
Steel Magnolias
Punchline
Places of the Heart

Sally Field does a lot of acting with her mouth hanging open....but she seems to have stopped that these past few years.

Good morning, all!

I will shortly head to Toyland to begin the loooong "Don't Ask Me Not To Sing, which was initially even longer. This was the Act Two showpiece for Bob Hope and the California Collegians. The number was dropped from The Cat And The Fiddle and revised to allow the seven Collegians to  impersonate Rudy Vallee, Helen Morgan, Arthur Tracy, Ruth Etting, Morton Downey, Ethel Merman, and Bing Crosby. It's a lot of fun, but it's endless! It includes these lyrics:
     Melody soft and low, melody loud and strong
     Melody sends this microphonic, diatonic world along.

Other lyrics for "microphonic diatonic" include:
Old melodic, idiotic
This burlesquey, old Mae West-key
Harvest mooning, Crosby crooning
Chansonetting, sweet Ruth Etting

So, that's most of my day. I'll check in from Toyland.

More coffee!

Sally Field:  SOAP DISH

I want that bookcase chair that DR JohnG posted on page 5 last night.

I would sit the other way and use the orange part as a back. And if it wasn't comfortable i would put padding!

I really want to see Lincoln.

Sally Field was on The View when the movie first came out.  She had mentioned that she had wanted the part many years ago when they were originally casting the film (was it 10 years?). I think she was cast.  Anyhow when they went to do the casting now they said she was too old (she is 11 years older than Daniel Day- Lewis).

But Daniel wanted to meet with her and for some reason he really wanted her to do it.

I kept going back to that picture and thinking the same thing, but I concluded that it just wouldn't be comfortable, or perhaps even possible, to lie back in, because of its narrow depth.  And if it were made deep enough to accommodate us, then the book storage depth would be ridiculous.  In the end, my taste doesn't run to storing books (any books) in such quirky fashion.  Have to agree, though, interesting design, and might work in the right place.  Just not my place.

Actually, even the way it's meant to be sat in doesn't look like something you'd do for more than a couple of minutes.

That site has two other numbers from the show. I watched the "Two Lost Souls" and the paisley psychadelics are just trippy.

Watched those.  Definitely interesting, but dated, and a bit of a chore to get through.

Vintage TV versions of Broadway musicals is a category I'd love to catch up on, but were they all as quirkily adapted as this one?
