Hello, 1 guest!

Liza Minnelli was on CBS Sunday Morning. It was an interesting interview, but she seems overly reliant on Michael Feinstein in the way that she was with her husbands.

Feinstein has a new album coming out called Gershwin Country, in which he duets with Dolly, Alison Krauss and a bunch of other country stars, not to mention Liza. All Gershwin songs. I haven't heard any of it, but I can't help but think I'd rather hear more of Sutton Foster.

Just watched the Signature tribute to Sondheim.

I've now had my six-month quota of out-of-tune singing and straining for notes, thank you very much.

Quote from: John G. on January 16, 2022, 10:46:12 AM

Not to mention a few lyric flubs.

Ditto.

I watched all of that Anything Goes. I am not a Sutton Foster fan, though I don't dislike. Her doesn't do much for me. I will give her credit for a great version of Blow, Gabriel, Blow, but I think that's more for Kathleen Marshall's staging and Foster's legs, which are shown off to their best advantage. But I shouldn't watch a musical written for Ethel Merman and wonder why Robert Lindsey as Moonface Mullins is the best thing in the show.

Is it just me, or is the woman playing Hope literally a child compared to everyone else?? $:-\$

Feel better vibes for DR Elmore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are expecting a big snow storm tomorrow. So schools are closed. And it was the first day back at actual school since December.

It's been a weird day.

singdaw · « **Reply #100 on:** January 16, 2022, 06:33:10 PM »

Not bad. Just kind of blah.

singdaw · « **Reply #101 on:** January 16, 2022, 06:33:34 PM »

But I will enjoy the extra day (holiday) tomorrow.

singdaw · « **Reply #102 on:** January 16, 2022, 06:33:49 PM »

Good night, friends.

Hello, everyone.

Congrats to BK!

I've been trying to watch BEING THE RICARDOS. I fell asleep. What a bad film! And it's a shame because there's a story in there. Neither of the leads looks, sounds, or moves like their characters. I can't believe that other actors couldn't have done a better job. I'm not sure I'll even finish it.

Jeanne · « **Reply #106 on:** January 16, 2022, 06:43:09 PM »

Hello, Singdaw. Enjoy your holiday tomorrow.

Pain begone vibes to Elmore and anyone else needing them.

TTFN.

Muse Margaret called and she loved the rest of the book. She only had one tiny thing, which involved the deletion of a half a line, and then she wanted to know what kind of car someone was driving - detail, always - so I'm thinking about that and will add when I find something that feels right. But she was just so effusive about it it did my soul good.

New Zealanders have a VERY weird accent.

I watched a movie from New Zealand about a real-life murder.

Tonight, I thought I would make Disney + earn the extra dollars I have been paying for it. I truly don't remember why I subscribed, but I have enjoyed watching older Disney films from time to time.

Tonight, I embarked upon something I've never watched (not even after I bought the series in a Disney tin box way back when those were the thing): "The Adventures of Spin and Marty".

It's innocent is what it is. Wholesome and then some. And totally 50s TV! And Diseny, of course.

In a way, it's painful to watch, but I just cannot help myself. I will see it through.

Oddly, the main theme reminds me -- not in a note-for-note way, but in an orchestrational, structured way -- of Victor Young's main theme for the movie "Shane". Don't ask me why, but I hear "Shane" playing in my head every time that theme plays at the start of an episode.

Yes. But that worked in her favor on Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye.

People have been wondering on FB whether local schools will be closed tomorrow because of the potential for ice hazards. The answer is YES, schools WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW because it's a federal holiday. MLK Jr. Day, to be precise.

I mean, honestly, the kids already know that. Why would their parents be asking if there might be a different reason for it?

That’s nice to read.

Happily, the holiday routine will be fiercely observed/protected here in my house.

Only UPS deliveries will be accepted. And, believe it or not, I have had two notifications for UPS deliveries tomorrow.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor MLK Jr. day, will keep UPS from its rounds, apparently.

That's all I have to say about that.
