My, we are a talkative bunch tonight. If only Bruce were here to see us keeping the home fries burning. I thought they only did that at my corner diner.

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.

Even then, I don't know why she felt that she had to "scream her lungs out" to move us and -- don't get me wrong, I like Streisand! -- her pronunciation has never been that fantastic; imho!

I am now listening to a recently purchased Cd of Kay Starr. Just noticed one of the writers of her 1955 song "Good and Lonesome" was Fred Ebb.

Good Evening!

Greeting from Richmond!

Nice drove down from DC, and I stopped at Starbucks for some Chocolate Chip Frappacinos before eventually ending up at Steve's.

And, now, we're gonna watch this week's "Six Feet Under" final season opener on "On Demand"...

Laters...

François de Paris · « **Reply #250 on:** June 10, 2005, 07:09:56 PM »

What does that mean--"tame"?
It is an act too often neglected...
It means to establish ties.
To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys.
And I have no need of you. And you on your part have no need of me...
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...
If you tame me; it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow... Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me!...
Please-- tame me!
One only understands the things that one tames... there is no shop anywhere where you can buy friendship... If you want a friend, tame me...

What must I do to tame you?

You must be very patient... first you will sit down at a little distance from me-- like that-- in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit closer to me every day...
As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one... But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince.

A story so beautiful François.
I wish it were wider known in this country. A friend years ago used to use it as a class book in his Senior English classes. I think he would have been almost alone in his choice.

What lovely postings to come home to. I had a sparkling dinner at Musso and Frank - everything was yummilicious and the restaurant is back in my good graces.

PERFIDY, baby, PERFIDY!

A Step At A Time (Closer and Closer and Closer)

Lyrics: A.J. LERNER.

(Fox)
In time
I'll start to feel at ease
Show my face
And will beginter
Get closer
And closer
And closer
We'll go a glance at a time
A small advance at a time
We'll be afraid a bit
And shy a bit
Avoid each others eye a bit
Less often each day
The ice'll soften each day
As we get closer and closer and closer
We'll go a blush at a time
A happy flush at a time
Begin to laugh a bit
And stare a bit
And walk around on air a bit
As gaily we grow
As night and daily we grow
A little closer and closer and closer
And then one day
There'll come a day
A Christmas eve
Midsummer day
A moment when
Right there and then
We're gonna touch
Then we'll jump miles at a time
A million smiles at a time
Begin to love a lot
And live a lot
And give and give and give a lot
Away we will go
And every day we will grow
A little closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer all the time
And then one day
There'll come a day
A Christmas eve
Midsummer day
A moment when
Right there and then
We're gonna touch
(Fox & Prince)
A small advance a time
We'll be afraid a bit
And shy a bit
Avoid each others eye a bit
Less often each day
The ice'll soften each day
(Prince)
As we get closer and closer and closer
(Both)
We'll go a blush at a time
A happy flush at a time
Begin to laugh a bit
And stare a bit
And walk around on air a bit
As gaily we grow
As night and daily we grow
A little closer and closer and closer
(Fox)
And then one day
(Prince)
There'll come a day
(Fox)
A Christmas eve
(Prince)
Midsummer day
(Fox)
Begin to love a lot
And live a lot
And give and give and give a lot
(Both)
Away we will go
And every day we will grow
A little closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer all the time

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

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

The Mrs. Miller who always in the audience of the Merv Griffin Show?

I think Mrs. Miller is swell.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #256 on:** June 10, 2005, 09:09:47 PM »

Hey, Tomovoz -- are you familiar with a singer named Wing? She's from New Zealand.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #257 on:** June 10, 2005, 09:21:29 PM »

Hello Laura. Only from the NET. She has had no success whatsoever in OZ. Maybe she's a hobbit.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #258 on:** June 10, 2005, 09:25:55 PM »

Guess he can't really be a hobbit - she is from Hong Kong but now lives in New Zealand.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #259 on:** June 10, 2005, 09:32:48 PM »

Wing is great. As great as Mrs. Miller, I'd say.

Different Mrs. Miller - read all about the singer who exploded on the scene in 1966. Her Capitol albums were produced by Mr Paul Weston aka Jonathan Edwards.

Click on sights and sounds for a link to her HIT single.

DR TOMovOZ - I am enjoying the Doris Day Singles Cd even more than I thought I would. The songs are familiar from the movies, but I didn't have MOST of them on any kind of recording.

Really like MOVE OVER, DARLING and PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES and LET THE LITTLE GIRL LIMBO....oh, and CATCH THE BOUQUET!

Lots of fun.

François de Paris · « **Reply #263 on:** June 10, 2005, 10:16:57 PM »

Well, thanks to the internet, I have found out who Mrs Miller was -- I won't die as stupid as I thought I would! LOL!

I'll take Petula's version of DOWNTOWN over hers anytime, of course!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #264 on:** June 10, 2005, 10:18:42 PM »

Very enjoyable Jack. Maybe my pop ear is more atuned to the 1960's sound. "Move Over Darling" was a top 40 hit here but nothing else. The Limbo song is a delight. Competition for Eydie's bossa nova - but it didn't happen. Good companion piece to the twist records by Steve Lawrence and Frank Sinatra.

Thanks Jack - without your mention of the Cd a few weeks back I would not have known about it.

You mean... there's another one

Because this IS the one of thought we were talking about!
Oh, never mind!
I'm going to listen to Lauren Bacall then!

That second OKLAHOMA 78 set would not qualify as a replacement cast album. That was the same original cast but with the three numbers that were not included on the original 78 set. Of course, Alfred Drake sang "Lonely Room" instead of Howard Da Silva, but he wasn't a replacement Jud.

The Mary Martin HELLO DOLLY was the London cast album, I believe. I have it (in another room), and I believe it's advertised as such on the jacket, not as a touring company. The Pearl Bailey IS advertised as the NEW Broadway cast.

Can't speak for DisinHAIRited. I never heard it, so I don't know if the replacement cast of HAIR or not. There were certainly more than one version of the ROCKY HORROR SHOW, weren't there?

Could it be FIDDLER ON THE ROOF with Hershell Bernardi?
