TOD:

W.C. Fields
Burns and Allen
Ethel Merman
Mae West
Victor Moore
Kaye Ballard doing Sophie Tucker (I don’t know Tucker enough)

I mostly know Sophie Tucker by way of Bette Midler! ;D

Right. I get more of an impression of her from imitators than from her recordings. I don’t know if they were censored or she needed an audience, but they’re fairly innocuous.

I liked DR JOHN G's list of old timey powerhouse performers.....

I came along at the last gasp of them.....still trying to remember some others I might have seen on the TeeVee.

Thanks. From early TV days, I would add Sid Caesar.

I had my second Moderna vaccination this morning.

Very good news!

Thank you.

In revenge, after too many people took my posts regarding Keith's side effects seriously, he put this under my FB that I have been vaccinated.

"Keith here. I've decided to return the favor and chronicle Jane's brush with eternity as her immune system battles the Moderna spike protein. Currently, she's demonstrating fatigue and bossiness. So, no change really. I'll keep posting as long as I can; perhaps another five minutes before she hides my keyboard."

:))

He keeps me entertained :)

Watching a kind of wWI Christmas story called All Is Calm. Great music, but the cast’s accents are all over the place. It’s better when they sing than speak.

If I don't return later it will mean that I got lucky and the vaccine put me to sleep for the night :)

And now, I'm off.  I'm going to stop by my sister's for a bit (no light fixture installing, though), then I want to do a little shopping (I need some diet Pepsi...I'm almost out at work!), then home.

Be back later.

Watched a fascinating PBS documentary on the TV series Soul! Couldn’t take my eyes from the screen. Dancers like Carmen de Lavallade (sp?), writers including James Baldwin, musical performers (Patti LaBelle, Al Green, Stevie Wonder), politicians, actors. The poet Nikki Giovanni was a big part of the show, and they interviewed her today. I remember interviewing her about 35 years ago, which would have been 10 years after the show. It was a phone interview. We talked for about an hour. But i got to meet her in person for a brief minute later.
