Had a quick and fun visit from Richard Sherman - he found an LA Christmas song he and his brother wrote in 1980 - not sure if it will work for the show at this point, but it's sweet.

Sounds like a perfect secret track or an extra on the CD.

Watching an oddity called Angels Over Broadway with Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Rita Hayworth, and Thomas Mitchell as a drunken Eugene O'Neill type. Ben Hecht wrote and directed the movie. It's short, not even 80 minutes long, but it's a surprisingly effective little melodrama (in the best sense). Hayworth was a nobody when it was made, and she's quite good.

It's part of a box set with a couple of other Hayworth movies including Down to Earth and Music in My Heart, with Tony Martin singing a Wright and Forrest score. A few of the other movies include The Solid Gold Cadillac, The Marrying Kind and It Should Happen to You, all with Judy Holliday.

The Sherman song also seems to have some publishing tie to Lawrence Welk, who recorded it - that kind of thing just gets messy. But I'll see how long the show is and then decide.

My sister, Linda, turns 60 tomorrow. Just got off the phone with her. Don't think she's got anything planned to celebrate. I think I'd party, but she's not really a party person.

If Tacoma Little Theatre's history page is correct, the first live musical I would have seen was IRENE, although I have no memory of that show. The next four years I do remember: CAROUSEL, THE DESERT SONG, THE RED MILL, and OKLAHOMA. The next five years I saw: SOUTH PACIFIC, BRIGADOON, SHOW BOAT, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, and ANYTHING GOES. Somewhere in there I also saw ONCE UPON A MATTRESS with Imogene Coca, King Donovan, and Edward Everett Horton. The first Broadway production was the all-black cast of HELLO, DOLLY! starring Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway in 1969.

T.O.D. (Part 2)

Movies I remember seeing in theaters were DAMN YANKEES, WEST SIDE STORY, THE KING AND I, THE COURT JESTER, and THE WIZARD OF OZ.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** March 15, 2016, 11:03:22 PM »

I could even tell you what theater I saw each of those films, but who would know if I was telling the truth.

T.O.D. (Part 3)

Television I remember the most was PETER PAN and A CHILD IS BORN. I would not have remembered A CHILD IS BORN if BK hadn't released the CD. Listening to it, I started flashing back on scenes from the TV production. Another reason to say, "Thank you, Mr. Kimmel."

I hoped I would get a text from Sandy this evening but I figure he was pretty worn out.

No records set today.

You would think today was a Tuesday.

Speaking of that, whatever happened to Tuesday Weld?

TCB · « **Reply #142 on:** March 16, 2016, 12:00:05 AM »

Ms. Weld is apparently alive at age 72. She was married to the late Dudley Moore back in the 1970's

Perhaps she and Dwayne Hickman should do an update of DOGIE GILLIS set in a Florida senior housing development!

TCB · « **Reply #144 on:** March 16, 2016, 12:04:35 AM »

I really like that idea.

Warren Beatty could make a cameo appearance in the pilot!

TCB · « **Reply #146 on:** March 16, 2016, 12:08:38 AM »

Maynard G. Krebs would, of course, have passed away.

TCB · « **Reply #147 on:** March 16, 2016, 12:09:54 AM »

They could bring back Zelda Gilroy.

TCB · « **Reply #148 on:** March 16, 2016, 12:10:59 AM »

Disney would probably do the pilot.
