Well, you've read the notes, you've had mercurial mood swings during the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the mercurial musical cows come home.

First post? Sure, why not

I will have to ponder the 60's song question...many come to mind, but I must double-check dates before I post, lest I appear ignorant and foolish. I'm famously bad when it comes to remembering things like dates and names and where I parked my car at the airport.

Goodnight

I'm not the least bit tired.

So many sixties songs - no way to list all of my faves:

Johnny Get Angry, Sealed With a Kiss, End of the World, Lollipops and Roses, Go Away, Little Girl, Michelle, the Bacharach/David songs, Autumn, In My Life, She Cried, A Taste of Honey, Downtown, I Know a Place and all the other Petula/Tony Hatch/Jackie Trent songs, especially Don't Sleep in the Subway - I'll stop and let others have some fun.

I'm too tired to think of the 60's. "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is now running through my head for some reason. So, I'll start with that.

WUSSBURGER.

Of course we must include all of A Tramp Shining by Jimmy Webb, sung by Richard Harris.

Panni · « **Reply #6 on:** January 14, 2005, 12:37:11 AM »

More songs of the 60's I like and can think of right now...
Moon River; Blowin' in the Wind; Eleanor Rigby; Come Saturday Morning; A Man and a Woman; Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head...

Love that!

I just noticed I was called a WUSSBURGER -- and then stupidly quoted it and said "Love that!"
I don't love being called a WUSSBURGER - nor am I a WUSSBURGER. I've now been up since 5:30 this morning. if that's a WUSSBURGER, then you're a pickle. (It's all I could think of suddenly.) A kosher dill.

I should be tired..I should be asleep. But I am clearly neither of those things at the moment. I am no Wussburger.

Ann is no WUSSBURGER. She is alive and alert with the music of the notes.

I love Shuffle Play. I've had this little iPod on, on and off, for a good deal of today, and I'm not even half-way through all the songs in there. Marvy.

What am I all of a sudden, a frenzy?

Perhaps I'll go out dancing. Perhaps I'll put on my toe shoes and walk on point. Perhaps I'll eat a ham chunk.

Welcome five GUESTS. We're talkin' about songs of the sixties.

It's taken me an entire hour to read all of yesterday's posts! I can barely keep my eyes open and I must sleep. I will definitely have to think about 60s songs...later. Afer I wake up. Good night from this Wussburger with a capital Wuss!

My senility had reared its ugly head once again - for some reason as I was writing the notes I thought it was Thursday, hence the topic instead of What's in our CD DVD players. We'll do that tomorrow. Of course, it was Thursday when I actually wrote the notes. It's SO confusing.

bk · « **Reply #20 on:** January 14, 2005, 01:17:06 AM »

Nobody here but us chicken. I guess I'll toddle off to dreamland.

Ann · « **Reply #21 on:** January 14, 2005, 01:26:48 AM »

I remembered why I can't sleep. I had a Starbucks frozen mocha-fudge bar whilst watching CSI this evening. It was just enough caffeine to keep me from drifting off now. I am trying some warm mlik...perhaps that will help.

Good morning, all! I'm listening to JEEPERS CREEPERS, which has several wonderful 60s songs I had disregarded ("Look for a Star") or never heard ("The Faithful Heart").

The 60s is one of my favorite periods, through highschool and college, so let's see what my vague mind recalls:
MOVIES: Moon River
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Goldfinger
Moon River
Charade
The Look of Love
The Windmills of my Mind
Help
Ticket to Ride
A Hard Day's Night
Mrs Robinson

THEATRE: Promises, Promises
I'll Never Fall in Love Again
All of CAMELOT
All of ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER
All of SHE LOVES ME
Aquarius
Hair
Easy to Be Hard
Frank Mills
All of JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL . . .
All of MARAT/SADE
If I Gave You (HIGH SPIRITS)
Don't Rain on My Parade

FOLK: Blowin' in the Wind
Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
Can't Help But wonder Where I'm Bound
The Last Thing on My Mind
Mr Tambourine Man
Early Mornin' Rain
If You Could Read My Mind
The Circle Game
Both Sides Now

OTHER: The Boxer
Here There and Everywhere
Eleanor Rigby
Feelin' Groovy
Do You Know the Way to San Jose
Are You There With Another Girl

I'll see later posts and think, how did I miss that one? I think it's a Barnes & Noble block this morning!

Just a quick note to say hello. I must wash my oatmeal bowl and make some photocopies before beginning the workday. I will ponder the question of the day and while I'm doing that I will listen to Michael Feinstein Remember (the Irving Berlin album) and one of his first albums (if not the first) Pure Gershwin and then Johnny Mathis This Heart of Mine.

We will be on LI for the long weekend. Don't know if we will watch anything.

Dan-in-Toronto · « **Reply #24 on:** January 14, 2005, 04:58:48 AM »

I'm way behind (a reverse Seesaw reference) - Ben's finished his oatmeal and I'm just starting mine.

If I may sneak in a question for BK. I was just over at Amazon, looking at Liz Callaway's ANYWHERE I WANDER CD. Do you know why the cover has changed?

Here's the new one:

Here's the new one:

DRDIT, I lodged a complaint with the new Fynsworth Alley powers-that-be at the time of the switch, since all recording credits (including mine!) on the back of the original cover had been removed. Of course at the time it was my vanity that was pissed off, but I've come to believe it was an attempt to remove BK from the cover.

JEWISH THIGHS Alert! Saturday night was chosen over Friday because DRPennyO has two shows on Saturday, and it was felt that a social night was better for Saturday so that she and DRJose would be in fine fettle for the Saturday shows. If DRs wanted to come in for the weekend, there are other things to see and do on Friday night.

That was the rerelease version of the cd. It also has an additional song that I believe BK had nothing to do with.

Larry beat me once again.

But I will say again that the orchestrations and performances of Joey, Joey; Warm All Over and my fav My Heart Is So Full of You are amazing tracks!!!!

Michael · « **Reply #28 on:** January 14, 2005, 05:19:00 AM »

So Jewish Thighs on Saturday sounds good to me. Buit it will have to be a short trip for me. I have guest coming to visit me on Sunday so I will have to go back Sunday morning!

Dan-in-Toronto · « **Reply #29 on:** January 14, 2005, 05:25:31 AM »

Thanks DRs Elmore and Michael. I much prefer the original cover, and agree that the entire production and orchestrations in particular are outstanding. In fact, the reason I was checking out the CD is because I was playing it over the holidays. A friend who was visiting was so moved by the recording that I gave it to her. I may check eBay - I want the old cover, with the proper credits.
