~ ~ ~ SELL-OUT VIBES ~ ~ ~ for Kritzerland's latest release!  Sounds like it will be a great one.

I bought the CD this morning.  Fortunately, it wasn't sold out...yet.

[Ron Pulliam]

Found this elsewhere...it certainly sums up my weekend in Oakland...and the next couple of days, as well!

Gale Storm sings "Heat Wave"

Note the shot of Zasu Pitts ("Nugey") and James Fairfax ("Cedric"). This was from an episode of "The Gale Storm Show: Oh, Susannah".

[Jrand74]

What a great clip DR RLP.  Love to hear Gale sing.....and now and then her "Texas" certainly comes out!

[Ron Pulliam]

I knew you'd love it, Jack!   It's a pretty good rendition of "Heat Wave", too!

[Jrand74]

You are welcome DR SINGDAW.....that is a very convenient program....and here is another that can convert video formats, music files, and photograph formats in much the same way.

Happy Monday and Happy July, all!

Hmmm, TOD: I will have to give that some thought. many films have made me weep, but consistently? Lemme ponder.

[Jrand74]

To the TOD, after reading a few posts, I will add:

Peyton Place
Imitation of Life
Old Yeller
The Outsiders

and Three Wishes, which I recommend highly to those who would like a good story and a good cry....and Patrick Swayze.

[ryacko]

Good morning, all!

Yes DR ELMORE it is time for you to go home.

[ryacko]

This is one of those days when I could sure use a patty melt.

Just get Patty to sit on the sidewalk here. She will surely melt.

I cannot believe I posted that William Norris was in DEAREST ENEMY! It was Charles Purcell who played over 1000 performances of the title role of THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER.

William Norris was the star of BABES IN TOYLAND, 1903, at the age of 33, and his last role was Merlin in Rodgers & Hart's A CONNECTICUT YANKEE of 1927.

I also forgot Helen Morgan in SWEET ADELINE, the most glorious of Jerome Kern scores!

Yea, I wondered what you were thinking....

[Jrand74]

I knew you'd love it, Jack!   It's a pretty good rendition of "Heat Wave", too!

Indeed.....she had a way with a song.....  One of the reasons I loved her second series was that every other week or so she would SING!!!

Sometimes it was junk like in this clip..but other times it was something great!  This is some of strangest choreography EVER....but I guess if you have four guys in white dinner jackets, you have to do something with them!  I wonder if DR JEANNE's uncle photographed this episode?

And Helen Morgan reminds me: the Whale version of Showboat gets me bawling every time.

I proofed two sections of the Moross, printed and bound a ROBERTA libretto since I cannot find the one I was using, and printed and taped two corrected Violin parts. I think I'll go home.

And speaking of Moross, I just received (among other things) the original cast recording of the musical revue, "Taking a Chance on Love: The Lyrics & Life of John Latouche," which has several selections from "The Golden Apple" and a few other songs with music by Jerome Moross.

[George]

Thanks for sharing that software link, DR Jrand62!     

Yes!  I'm going to check it out when I get home.

There are several films that reduce me to a puddle of tears - three of the key ones are The Best Years of Our Lives, The Miracle Worker, and It's a Wonderful Life - never fails.

[Jrand74]

The Miracle Worker....yes.....I cry even when I read it!!!

Off to our first ANGEL STREET rehearsal on the Mainstage!!!

[Ron Pulliam]

Icky.  That's how I feel right now.

Just finished a burger and fries and they tasted good.

Then I had a sneezing fit.

And now I feel icky.

Just icky.

Icky.

Ick...

[Ron Pulliam]

TOD:

"With A Song in My Heart"

[George]

There are several films that reduce me to a puddle of tears - three of the key ones are The Best Years of Our Lives, The Miracle Worker, and It's a Wonderful Life - never fails.

"It's a Wonderful Life"...YES!  and "Scrooge" (the movie musical).  Always! 

[Ron Pulliam]

Also in consonance with the heat wave out west and in the pacific northwest (of all places!), here is an offering from Cole Porter and Ann Miler:

Too Darn Hot

[ArnoldMBrockman]

And the word of the day is: GOSSAMER!

And The Song Of The Day Is: IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS

(What Else?)

[Jane]

Tuesday afternoon greetings from my last session at McCormick Place!  Finished up the exhibit hall this morning, then had a nice lunch with Richard.  He's waiting for me in a lounge area with a view of Lake Michigan and I'm celebrating the 60th anniversary of FAHRENHEIT 451.

60 years-wow.

Saddest film I've ever seen:
I AM LEGEND - When Will Smith has to kill his dog.

Never saw "Ole Yeller", eh?

LOL

What else, indeed. One of the greats.
