I remember Patty Duke appearing on Joey Bishop's old ABC talk show to promote her first album of songs. (I think VALLEY OF THE DOLLS was her second LP, but I could be wrong about that.) Anyway, she sang some song that kind of predated "Momma Look Sharp" about a woman longing for her lost love involved in some war. I think it was Irish in spirit, but it's all so vague now (must have been around 1967 or 1968.) I remember being surprised because she had sounded so GREAT in VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (I should have suspected she was dubbed but I didn't at the time), and her voice on Bishop was halting and kind of bland. The song didn't do her any favors either as it was sung in short, clipped verse and featured the repetative "ah-roo" in the lyrics.

I don't have that Duke album. Does anyone who has it know what song I'm talking about?

Well, DR MattH - it's probably one of the songs listed here on a Never-Released Patty Duke Folk Song album.

This is a faux cover put together by someone on a website, but Patty warbling Puff The Magic Dragon really needs to be heard!  :o

Click for a link to the album - not an individual song!  :P

Thank you so much for that link, DR Jrand.

It was "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye."

Um, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the lack of folks here today?  I guess we have reached back to our errant and truant phase.  Oh, well, I guess it will not be the raucous Halloween bash I'd hoped for.

Dear Reader Laura--It is considerably cooler here now than it's been, and damp, too.  (I even had drizzle this morning in Pasadena.)  This should be of great help to the firefighters.  Still, thousands of homes have been destroyed and thousands of people are homeless, so rescue efforts will no doubt continue for some time.  'Tis a noble thing you do to volunteer for such an effort.

Dear Reader JRand--My brother is an absolute Steve and Eydie freak and the recording of Golden Rainbow is one of his prized possessions.  De gustibus non es diputandum es.  (Or something like that.)

Dear Reader DallasM--Welcome to the cookie jar/sandbox/almost most popular site on the internet.  Tell us a bit about yourself and join the fun!

It is rather scary (but not in a good way) how few people have been around the board today.

Jay:  Back in my drinking days, it used to be a lot more fun bobbing for stuffed olives in a small punchbowl full of gin.  Ahhh, those were the days.

Just out of curiousity, I was wondering how others here at HHW feel about the supernatural (i.e. ghosts, poltergiests, witches {looks like a list of 80s movies}, goblins, etc.)?  I know it isn't ask anyone day, but I was interested because of the holiday.

Happy Halloween everyone!

I have much to do today and I think I'm coming down with something.

How cute are these?

                           


                               

Here are my favorite costumes:

If anyone wants a good laugh, I keep my halloween candies closed and tied up in plastic bags so I don't eat any of it before Oct 31st :)

But today it's fair game!!!

Welcome to DallasM. Oh, JRand, you do find the most amazing things. Miss Duke singing I Want Your Love is truly something. What, I don't know, but it's something. The fact that these things still exist somewhere and someone took the time to upload them to the Internet is just as amazing.

I searched and searched last night for a pic of me in a halloween costume circa 1968...but can't find the darn thing!

If I come across it I will put it up.

I don't think I have a favorite halloween costume, but I do recall dressing as casper the friendly ghost once. A store-bought mask and costume that was on a rack at the grocery store in 1969 or 70.

What's Halloween without a listen to "Jeepers Creepers", that's probably where all the DR's are at this moment.
 
I suggest keeping it in the changer with Maury Yeston's "Phantom" and Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" selections with Ethan Freeman, Claire Moore, and John Barrowman (a JAY release) and of course your least favorite cast recording for the scary effect!!!  :D

Glad you found the song, DR MattH.  And yes, DR Ben it is amazing what you can find.  As soon as I discovered the album, I burned it and Patty's VOD to a CD in order to amaze my friends...and since there was time left over on the disk, I added Miss Judy Garland's pre-recording of I'll Plant My Own Tree.  :D

DR MBarnum - bought your costume at the grocery store?  You must have been rich.  We made ours!  :-X

Welcome DR Dallas!!  8)

TCM is having a Frankenstein Movie Festival tonight.  DR Jay - I am a believer in ghosts, etc.  Not that I receive a lot of messages from the other side!  But as I wrote earlier today,  my sister does have a Spirit Guide and I will be joining her in a Spirit Circle tonight.

Oh and DR Jay - I guess I should have classified GOLDEN RAINBOW as a guilty pleasure rather than a horror.

I did use the last part of the overture as a great musical number in VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM!

Well, it isn't exactly The Great Pumpkin, but it is the best I could find on short notice.  I hope this little face isn't saying anything rude.  Our computers at work don't have any sound, so I can't tell if he is really talking.

Boo!

Happy Halloween, everybody. My Geology teacher (Queen Merry, Goddess of Geology) came to class today dressed as Mama from Mama's Family. Every so often during class, she'd open the door and throw candy to the people outside. And she gave me a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  :)

Hello, everyone!  I've no intention of being E&T on Halloween!  Not when BK posts such hilarious (and not a little scary) notes about him dressing up as Effie from Dreamgirls!

Hmmm....I don't even know if I'm dressing up today.  I have an old flapper costume I could wear, so perhaps I could be one of Millie's flapper friends with bad taste (the costume is really too sequined and tacky).  And my hair is way too long.  

I love reading about everyone's old costumes!  Too funny!  I've had a few interesting ones in the past...one year I wore a blond wig and went as an 12-year old Marilyn Monroe.  In the future, I want to go as Ethel Merman.  I'm not joking....I could find a Mama Rose coat and dress, but it would take hours I'm afraid to get my hair like hers!  Marc's (who isn't a brand-newbie, just has a different screenname) Judy costume seems pretty hard to beat though!

George (from yesterday's notes)--I am NOT a goth!  That said, LOL!

Jennifer--what cute costumes!  Do you have any real pics of you as a wizard, jester or in a 'fro, lol?

OH!  Operation Convert Macbeth to Musical Theatre Fandom has had some small success!  Last night, we watched Chicago (I think the idea of seeing Catherine ZJ and Renee Z in sexy clothes was not a small inducement for him).  He enjoyed it, I think...even tapping his feet during some of the numbers.  This from a guy who says he DOES NOT LIKE musicals.  Hmmm....should I try to make him a Sondhead next?

Ooo... add Michael Jackson's "Thiriller" to the already aforementioned, Jeepers Creepers, Yeston's Phantom, and the studio recording of ALW'S POTO, and the mix is getting better and better.
