HANDY-DANDY THINGS
« on: April 15, 2023, 12:08:36 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were handy-dandy and contained things, and now it is time for you to post until the handy-dandy cows come home.

I was just about to post this last night, so I saved it first...just in case:

First I saw HBO was as a kid on vacation in 1980 or so, watched Norma Rae on a hotel tv in Nebraska.

I remember watching The Harrad Experiment alone on my bedroom on my little black-and-white TV. ::)

;D

I still remember the ancient HBO jingle. “HBO people don’t miss out!”

Since I frequent Deadline, I was curious how I’d find that story without the link. On mobile, you’d have to go to the “TV” section and scroll a bit. That may change as article collects more views.

I didn't put in an e-mail address, but I didn't get any kind of error message that one was required.

If there's some kind of delay before it's posted, there also was no indication that it would be that way.

Can't wait to hear Cindy's whole song and of course, see the whole series.

I had a strange dream about being bullied by an old hag in a retirement home. I yelled "Get away from me!" at her, and then I woke up. I'm pretty sure I yelled out in real life, but it was muffled by my CPAP mask.

When cherry ripe is past its prime, does it become cherry slop?

I only know of it because Julie Andrews sang a song by that title in Victor/Victoria.

I slept in. It was another poor night of sleep. That's all I'm saying about it.

"Cherry Ripe," an 18th century song, appears in a major way, in the first movement of Eric Coates' wonderful "London Suite."

It is also charmingly sung by the wonderful Elizabeth Harwood on this album, which was re-released as "Heart of Oak: Songs and Folksongs of the British Isles," one of my all-time favorite recordings. The orchestrations by Charles Mackerras and Ernest Tomlinson alone are worth the price of admission.
