According to several sources, he wrote over 1500, count 'em 1500 songs!

That is A LOT of songs!!

I like your list which includes two of my all time favorite songs, not just Mercer ones, DAYS OF WINE & ROSES and SKYLARK.

I searched his name on castalbums.org, then clicked on the link for his songs. It only lists recordings of stage or movie musicals, not general songs. I found a few of those on Wikipedia, I think.

My book group is rapidly falling apart. We are down to eight members from fourteen. Down to 11 or 12 was fine but it is nice to have a hostess every month. We are skipping April, the first skip ever. Now our May person just sent me a note she is dropping out. I have been expecting it but I thought she would wait until after she hosted.

I returned to the gym today doing everything at lower weights or tension & walked a wee bit slower on the treadmill. I tested jogging for a minute and it was kind of ok. Basically I walked 2 miles in just under 30 minutes.

I have been up and down and not staying at the computer for long stretches at a time. I think my hip is better. I had a difficult night with it which surprised me since it was much better until I went to bed.

The taxi just dropped me and Charlotte off at 84th and West End, and I am home. I really liked the movie. It's fun, it's a little silly. One of my favorite movies as a kid was THE MAGIC SWORD, with Gary Lockwood as Saint George fighting the dragon. This film is of the very same ilk, only where Bert I. Gordon had a budget of $15.00, Bryan Singer has a budget of $15 billion. The movie plays to a savvy kids' audience: the giants are booger-eating, farting, belching monsters, a little scary, a little ridiculous, and really gross. Our hero Jack is brave and clever, our princess beautiful and spunky, and Ewan MacGregor is channeling Errol Flynn in THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER. I liked seeing Ian McShane as the kindly king, a good guy for a change, and Stanley Tucci a rotten villan. I felt I was a kid of twelve again, at a Saturday matinee, and I had a lot of fun.

Back from a dinner I shouldn't have had -- pizza, fried fish sandwich, cold Italian sub. And I loved every morsel of it. The carb will show up in the blood sugar. But so what? (Today, I say that.)

I smiled while I read this delightful review.

I figured out why, since the changes in the library eBook site, it is taking so darn long for books to become available. I can't figure out how to return the Kindle edition I borrowed & read on Keith's iPad. The site has directions for borrowing but I can't find any for returning books.

T.O.D.

My favorite Johnny Mercer song? Hmm, I suppose I would have to say the THEME FROM SHE DEVIL IN REGALSCOPE.

Is that what I was supposed to say?

In an amazing coincidence, I just read about an orchestration calling for farting, belching and gross...

My doctor informed me today that I need to use some portion control when I eat.

I might have been a little bit insulted.

Newest Bollywood hit film is a zomcom (zombie comedy), and it looks great! I have watched this trailer I don't know how many times today! LOL!

Tonight - Sarah Brightman. Go ahead, judge away!

I saw Sarah Brightman live in Seattle. I really enjoyed the concert, but my mom didn't like her "pop" music...only her operatic stuff.
Do you like Sarah B.? Then who gives a fig what we think?

Is fig the "F" word I have heard people talking about?

Well... after a lovely steak dinner, we drive to the venue and it's empty. After googling Sarah Brightman San Jose, we find out that the date has been rescheduled for October. And that was my night. What a wonderful dinner
