Do you have any Kumquat preserved with honey as folk medicine in the US? It will be more effective for a sore throat than fresh and raw one.
Take good care of your throat, DR GINNY.

Wagon Train's Robert Horton was my favourite TV star of the era. And I loathed Westerns! Maybe I didn't watch that much TV! I did like Connie Stevens as Cricket Blake. The psychiatrist in M.A.S.H. was also a favourite. Loretta Switt was also terrific. (I found Miss Piggy to be much in the same mould). From my earlier years - Annette, Tommy Kirk and Tim Considine.

Good morning, all! It's a rainy day in New York, and I want to hibernate. Instead, I have the recording office most of the day, then I'm need to drop off the score for George Dvorsky with the producer and a bit later, I have a date with the ever-lovely Liz Callaway.

Favorites from tv's golden age: a lot of the Warner Bros crowd: Connie Stevens, Diane McBain, Van Williams, Efrem Zimbalist Jr, Donna Reed. There were so many!

Yucky day here (weather-wise). Glad the happening happened last weekend and not this weekend.

We must hie over to Footlight at lunch so Anthony can purchase a difficult to find CD full of British music hall songs. He doesn't need the CD since he will learn the music at rehearsal but he wants to have something to listen to so he will be familiar with the music when he starts to learn it this week.

We had a quiet but pleasant Easter dinner of pork chops, green beans and wild rice with goodies from the Easter basket after dinner. Too much candy in the house!

We watched Teacher's Pet over the weekend. Not the Doris Day movie but the animated story about a dog who wants to be a boy. It was a cute diversion filled with all sorts of adult references that would fly by a child, for example the school is named FDR which is not Franklin Delano Roosevelt but Fala Delano Roosevelt, Fala being the famous dog of FDR.

A bit of information on Fala from ClassBrain (a Web site)

http://www.classbrain.com/artbiographies/publish/fala.shtml

"At first his name was Big Boy. Franklin renamed him Murray the Outlaw of Falahill after a Scottish ancestor. His nickname became Fala."

Good morning all!! I had a splendidly splendid weekend, and the weather cooperated by being splendidly splendid as well.

I have not caught up since I posted Friday night so I will attempt to do so over the course of the day, althought I have a busy day scheduled herde at the old workplace so I shall see how much sneaking in I can get in.

Thank you Ben for accompanying me on the drive in to work this morning, well your voice at least! DR Ben was kind enough to gift me with a CD copy of the theatre reviews he does for the BBC Radio. It made very entertaining listening and I am looking forward to volume Two!!

Daniel Davis "let go" from LA CAGE. Robert Goulet to take over.
Now, I'm as big a Goulet fan as anyone I know, but Lewis was the heart and soul of LA CAGE. His performance was the only transcendant thing about the show. Not sure what the story behind him being "let go" is (vs just announcing that he is leaving), but I shall endeavor to find out!

Kerry · « **Reply #17 on:** March 28, 2005, 06:45:22 AM »

Well, at last Easter is over. Ah, the decorations, gifts, the cheer and merriment, the whirlwind of parties. But now all is settling down. I've made my Easter resolutions and am ready to start a new year.

Kerry · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2005, 06:48:37 AM »

I'll post my TV faves later. Most likely, Michael, Jack and Tom will post my favorites anyway.

Eve Arden, Lucy and Desi, Joan Davis and Jim Backus, Spring Byington, Frances Rafferty, John Forsythe, Donna Reed and Carl Betz, Cara Williams, Van Williams.

Robert Goulet? I think Robert Stack must have been better in the first production. Robert Goulet?

Wow, I guess the gossip is true. It mentions at Playbill On-Line via The NY Post "that Davis was let go from the revival after the Sunday matinee, reportedly due to clashes with his co-star, Gary Beach, who plays Albin, and other members of the company."

http://www.playbill.com/news/article/91966.html

That's too bad because Davis was the only real reason to see the show. It's a decent revival but nothing exciting or special about it. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #21 on:** March 28, 2005, 06:51:49 AM »

The whole cast of the Donna Reed show, basically, but especially Donna and Ms. Fabares; Dick Van Dyke.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #22 on:** March 28, 2005, 06:54:17 AM »

Maybe Gary Beach heard "Davis is the only reason to see the show" once too often.

-OR-

Maybe Davis did and it went to his head!

Look on the bright side - it's not Pat Boone

Ben · « **Reply #24 on:** March 28, 2005, 06:55:02 AM »

It was Gene Barry in the first production. Robert Goulet! Oy Vey!

Saturday, my Mom, the Vixter & I drove into NYC and visited the infamous American Girl Place, where they squeezed us in for lunch....

I had a delicious Fetticini dish made with cream sauce and lots of asparagus and mushrooms...very nice....they give everyone a hot cinnnamon bun and a platter with grapes, cheese, carrot & celery sticks, a vegatable dip and thick cut cucumber slices with a topping of some sort of cream cheese and vegatable mixture piped on top, then everyone gets a small chocolate cup filled with a vanilla cream custard, a small floerpot filled with chocolate mouse and a cugar cookie for dessert.

Then we left AMG with 20 minutes to spare until curtain time for Little Women and there was one of those bicycle rickshaw fellows right outside the door so we piled in and got to the Virginia Theater in a few minutes with only a slight, almost slow motion accident with a taxi who decide to squeeze by with not quite enough room....a bit nerve racking but no injuries other than a scratched fender for each of the vehicles

We had a wonderful time at Little Women. I did not find any of the songs particularly memorable, but the Vixter is anxiously awaiting the release of the cast CD
