Has anyone written the definitive plum song?

But of course! "This Plum Is Too Ripe."

Tomovoz · « **Reply #32 on:** June 11, 2005, 12:56:41 AM »

Is that the plum of your aunt?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #33 on:** June 11, 2005, 12:57:25 AM »

Hey BK, how many more Broadway shows were there per year in the 40s, say, than now. Lots more?

Dang it... I've got 7 of the 8 parts of the Unseemly Trivia, but the final part is giving me some trouble!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #35 on:** June 11, 2005, 01:01:12 AM »

Perfect, I have only one of the 8 parts. I'll give you my one, you give me your seven, we'll enter, and if one of us wins, we'll split the prize. If it's a CD, you get seven songs for every one I get to keep!

DR Rodzinski. Just checked my "The Cheater" CD - also has "Apple Peaches Pumpkin Pie". Coincidence time.

Oh, Lord yes - tons more shows. A typical season back then would yield ten to fifteen new musicals (more, as some of them closed on the road) and a plethora of new comedies and dramas, as well as a revival or two. You just thumb through these things and sit with your mouth open - it's unbelievable the way it used to be. And the stars - you wouldn't believe the people who played Broadway season after season. Today is rather pitiful in comparison.

Well, I must toddle off to the bedroom environment to get some beauty sleep.

It's funny how our entertainment choices in so many media have decreased with time, when by all rights, they should have increased. I speak here of fewer movies in wide release, fewer record labels, fewer unique radio stations, fewer Broadway shows...

It's odd, but your mention of the Jay and the Techniques song actually made me think of the Kuban song. I associate the songs in my mind for some odd reason. Of course, there is no way you could have known that, so now I don't know if this makes it more or less of a coindicence. It's a paradox.

A paradox driving me to sleep.

I have just submitted my answer to the trivia question....since the one last week took me SO long!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 11, 2005, 01:54:16 AM »

I like cherry and apple pies.

I like bananas because they have no bones.

DR TOMovOZ, I think I found the Doris CD because someone else here mentioned it. Hmmmm....or maybe it was an AMAZON search. Anyway - it's a MUST for Doris fans.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 11, 2005, 01:55:46 AM »

Hmmm....SEVEN SAMURAI is still on TCM. That is one Long Movie.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 11, 2005, 01:56:47 AM »

I have two volumes of THEATRE WORLD....including Volume 45 and another one, that I don't see on the shelf, so it must be behind some other books.

Time to go to WalMart.

I too submitted my answers to the trivia. This did not take as long as it did last week.

DR Matt H queeried yesterday:

Could it be FIDDLER ON THE ROOF with Hershell Bernardi?

I would say no because:

1) The narration intro to each song although written by Joseph Stein did not appear in the show.

2) Included "When Messiah Comes"

3) Included a song written for the album "Fiddler On the Roof"

4) Hershell Bernardi sang all the songs

5) Some songs (if not all) used the alternate "pop lyrics"

6) The original orchestrations were not used.

Michael · « **Reply #50 on:** June 11, 2005, 03:03:21 AM »

TOD: Paul Lynde

and since his show and Elizabeth Allen were mentioned the other day.........

Is this the Elizabeth Allen who was in Do I Hear a Waltz? or the Elizabeth Allen who was married to Robert Montgomery and was Elizabeth Montgomery's mother?

Michael · « **Reply #51 on:** June 11, 2005, 03:20:11 AM »

Actually the third show just came to me.

Beyond the Fringe

The original was recorded In June of 1962
The second one was recorded in January of 1964
The second recording had a cast replacement: Paxton Whitehead.

Even though (I believe) the show was still called Beyond the Fringe the album was called Beyond the Fringe 64 to show it was a new and different recording from the original cast. Both featured material that was in the show.

Have people noticed that Broadway Revival Cast Recordings are no longer billed as such? Is there stigma?

They are now The NEW Broadway Cast Recording.

It won't be long before they are called "soundtracks" I fear.

I still believe I'm right about it's being LORELEI; also, DRMattH, what I said about the HELLO DOLLY! recording with Mary Martin was that it was ESSENTIALLY the national tour cast; the show began its tour in Cncinnati, headed west, went to Viet Nam and ended up in London. There were cast replacements but I believe all the leads on the recording were seen by me at the Shubert Theatre in Cincinnati.

I'd forgotten about the second BEYOND THE FRINGE recording; wasn't it called something like "Son of . . ."?

DRJed, we agree on the plum song.

Favorite fruit: Richard Simmons.
