About as good as can be expected when played on four keyboards.

Not like a big pianola?  Where is Ethel Toffelmeier?

 A sparkling HHW day with friendly banter. Thank you for the smiles DRs.

Question for DRs: Are there singers who you admire but in fact have difficulty in listening to a whole CD of their singing.
Doris Day and Petula Clark are on my list as is Elvis Costello.

Exception with Ms Day is the Cd of sixties singles mentioned today by DR JRand. (I bought it after reading that he had done so!! - Ah the influence of HHW DRs).

Elly Stone, Dory Previn and Maria Callas, all intelligent performers.

Darlene Edwards and Mrs Miller who prove a little goes a long way.

Well, I wouldn't sing "Moonlight Becomes You" to Dubya on his Road to  Ruin.

What about "Mooning" from GREASE??? :o

I don't think I could get through more than 10 minutes of Darlene and Mrs Miller.

Well, I haven't seen Ms Peters or Mr Cocker in the same room at the same time.

Now, Betty Buckley's got a voice for peeling paint off walls.

Hmmm, I think the same of Miss Streisand, although her early stuff is easier to hear. I love Karen Akers but in small doses.

Elly Stone's major fame comes from interpreting the famous mistaken Frenchman but really Belgian, Jacques Brel (by the way, did you know he's alive and well and living in Paris?)

If RLP were on board today I'd say much about Bette Midler.  Very small doses.

If I choose to play a Streisand Cd, I tend to go back to "Simply Streisand" years.

BTW, I spoke to Anthony earlier and relayed all your good birthday wishes. He was very thankful and touched. He had to work on his birthday. Ah, life in the theatre. But there was a little birthday celebration during an afternoon break. There are actually two birthdays in their cast today. Anthony and Jose's friend, Nick, who is playing Hero. They had a cake at break and Anthony and Nick got cards and little gifts and tomorrow the cast is taking both of them out for a birthday celebration.
