"We had spaghetti three times at our house last week."

Another favorite.

Whenever I am telling Dear Partner John a story that he deems boring (surprisingly enough, I do this more often than you might think!

), he'll get this glazed look in his eye, wait until I am finished, and utter this line. Makes me crack up every time.

Sergio is now singing TENDERLY, another of my favorite songs!

This (at least the Rosemary Clooney version) was my parents' "song."

Once, I happened to get into the elevator at Rainbow & Stars (a late, lamented NYC boite, with a hideous room arrangement), when who should step into the elevator but Miss Clooney herself. (This was before she died, obviously.) I turned to her and told her how much I admired her vocal stylings, and added that "Tenderly" was indeed my parents' song. She smiled, and said something like "Well, they must be very happy." I retorted that they were divorced, but that I didn't think her recording had anything to do with it. She roared!

DR WFO - Please convey birthday wishes to Joe!

William F. Orr · « **Reply #95 on:** April 28, 2005, 10:19:23 AM »

Beyond the Forest (1949), directed by King Vidor, screenplay by Lenore J. Coffee, from the novel by Stuart Engstrand, starring Bette Davis, Joseph Cotton, and The Actor with the Scar, but not Little Miss Alice Faye. No, it's not a play. It's some goddamn Warner Brothers epic.

What I wish some enterprising producer had done, back when it was possible, is to stage HAoVW with Joseph Cotton and Bette Davis as George and Martha. That's my dream casting.

Good to see you, Arnold M. Brockman.

Good to see you, too, DLevy.

William F. Orr · « **Reply #96 on:** April 28, 2005, 10:25:19 AM »

Thanks from Joe by proxy for all the birthday wishes. I will print them out when I get home to give him along with his birthday gift: "Liars", by Todd Rundgren. I don't think he has any Todd records made more recently than 20 years ago, so I thank whoever it was at this here web site who put me onto this recent CD.

In re Angel Jim:

A week or so ago DR DearReaderLaura asked if Jim would be open to receiving a letter of support. I finally had the opportunity to ask him, and it would make him very happy if any of you were to take pen in hand (no e-mail in Attica) to wish him well. Just click on my name and send me an IM, and I will give you his address. I think he might especially enjoy getting letters from outide the U S of A.

Good Afternoon!

I also went by the U-Haul place to get my storage space and van rental in order. I went ahead and "splurged" on a 10x10 space. I could fit all my stuff into a 10X8 or even a 10x10, but I wanted to make it easy for me to access stuff over the next month or two.

Huh??

DR Stuart, that Rosemary Clooney story is wonderful! I laughed quite loudly...scared a few co-workers, I think.

MBarnum · « **Reply #100 on:** April 28, 2005, 10:39:08 AM »

DR Jose, I still have not figured out where you are moving to or why...perhaps you answered my inquiry yesterday and I missed it.

MBarnum · « **Reply #101 on:** April 28, 2005, 10:39:58 AM »

Ebb Tide is my other favorite song...I would like to have a whole CD of different versions of Ebb Tide. That would make me very happy.

MBarnum · « **Reply #102 on:** April 28, 2005, 10:43:09 AM »

Sergio Franchi just sang Ebb Tide on this CD I am listening too...that is what prompted that statement which seemed to come out of nowhere.

I'm back from the doctor and the shot. I must say, the lady doing the shot today was not quite as gentle with the needle as the last lady. Or maybe my left butt cheek is more tender than my right buttcheek.

I'm hoping that this shot will, over the next few days, put everything completely back to normal. If not, I can always request another on Monday morning.

Happy Birthday to JOE!

I was also extremely disappointed with last night's IDOL. I had a feeling Scott might be top 3 when I saw him and Constantine have to choose sides. I really think it was Simon's "pack your bags" comment that got him the votes.

Constantine was one of my favorites. And I really cannot understand how he could have gotten the fewest votes. But it seems the voters are fickle (since one week Bo was next to last and last night he was top 3).

My sis called right when the show ended, totally disgusted and said she doesn't think she will watch anymore. I'll bet there were a lot of people very unhappy with these results. I really thought Constantine would be top 3.

Jennifer · « **Reply #105 on:** April 28, 2005, 11:02:02 AM »

One more Idol comment. I really don't think there is any way that Scott will win. He has been bottom 3 the past few weeks. And I really only think that it was Simon's comment that made people vote for him.

I do however think that Carrie will probably win.

And all my roses; yet in spite of you,
There is one crown I bear away with me,

My salute shall sweep all the stars away
From the blue threshold! One thing without stain,
Uspotted from the world, in spite of doom
Mine own. And that is...
My white plume...

I went in search for a "Hilary Duff" birthday gift for my sister's niece. And I had a lot of luck. Zellers (a Walmart type store), had a discount rack where everything was 50% off the last price. And there was tons of Hilary Duff clothes. Every one says "stuff" on it. I guess it rhymes with Duff.

They are cute. And I think the birthday girl will be very happy!

Jennifer · « **Reply #108 on:** April 28, 2005, 11:29:07 AM »

Patti Lupone and Michael Cerveris will star on Broadway In SWEENEY TODD.

I actually really like both of these performers. But one thing about the PASSION concert is that she seemed so much older than him. And I think think we will find the same thing here (although granted she will get to wear some make-up and look decent this time).

DRs Laura and Jane asked about the birthday cake and I forgot to answer.

The restaurant provided one for free (so I'm not sure exactly what it was called). But it was really delicious. I love desserts but not so much the actual cake part. But this was was all chocolate. But it had this creamy icing in layers between bits of cake. It was super rich and super good. And it was square (which i thought was weird)!

The "Hilary Duff" girl and her mom and brother were part of the arm in this pic! (it was for Earth Day and a pic was taken from the sky of hundreds of people making up a drum dancer).

JMK · « **Reply #113 on:** April 28, 2005, 11:49:57 AM »

JR would be the first to tell you (well, maybe the second

) that there are two (count 'em) songs called Ebb Tide. The first one, which pre-dates that one that you're probably fond of by a couple of decades, was the title song to Frances Farmer's only Technicolor epic (and only Paramount's second Technicolor feature). It had a hit recording in 1937 by Bunny Berigan, who charted that very same year with another song from a Farmer feature, The First Time I Saw You, from Toast of New York. As I mentioned here eons ago, you noir fans will recognize First Time I Saw You, as it was recycled as the ubiquitous underscore theme in Out of the Past.

DR BK:

In your search for that Twilight Zone episode, this may help:

"A World of Difference" Episode: #1.23 - 11 March 1960

Susan Dorn .... Marion Curtis
Howard Duff .... Arthur Curtis/Gerry Reagan
Gail Kobe .... Sally
Frank Maxwell .... Marty
Eileen Ryan .... Nora Reagan
David White .... Brinkley

JMK · « **Reply #115 on:** April 28, 2005, 11:54:27 AM »

Oops, did I give a wrong title? Sorry. We've been watching them back to back and the titles become a blur. But it is season one and does co-star Howard Duff. I'd love for others to chime in--don't you think Eileen Ryan could be Meryl Streep's (unknown) mother? It's funny to think of Streep and the Penn brothers as half-siblings.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!

Jose thank you. Keith is really amazing, spending hours and hours doing research searching for anything new that might help Bogie.

MBarnum I’m sorry I missed Cal last night, or was he on your special station we don’t get?

Jrand, thanks and early good job vibes.
