I’ve got another leak, oh …

John G. · « **Reply #152 on:** September 16, 2023, 09:28:21 PM »

But he’s in Puerto Rico.

And that concludes this concert version of 70, Girls, 70!!

Boom ditty boom

I think this is my favorite song from the show!

George · « **Reply #156 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:06:22 PM »

We had a good show and a good audience!

George · « **Reply #157 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:07:22 PM »

And other than a couple of moments where the singers and the band couldn't hear each other, all the songs went off like gangbusters, even the ballads.

And Robin, the daughter of my friend Misi (yes that how she spells her name), was there and we got to ketchup, so that was really nice.

Also, a former co-worker was there working the organization side of the show because his wife is in the group, so it was nice to see him, too.

They actually have tickets for tomorrow's matinee, so he'll get to see the show, not just hear it from the hall.

After the show, I hied myself to Red Robin with my Kindle and my gift certificate, and enjoyed one of their Cheesy Bacon Fondue Burgers (again

), and other than it and the Cheesy Bacon Fondue not being quite hot enough (but just warm enough), it was all quite tasty.

So in the show, I'm part of the Chamber of Commerce Glee Club, the song that we sing is "Look for the Silver Lining" by Jerome Kern and Buddy DeSylva.

However, we don't do the intro:

As I wash my dishes, I'll be following a plan

George · « **Reply #164 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:49:22 PM »

Til I see the brightness in every pot and pan

George · « **Reply #165 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:49:51 PM »

I am sure this point of view will ease the daily grind

George · « **Reply #166 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:50:04 PM »

So I'll keep repeating in my mind:

George · « **Reply #167 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:50:18 PM »

We just start with the verse and go to the end:

George · « **Reply #168 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:50:30 PM »

Look for the silver lining

George · « **Reply #169 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:50:53 PM »

Whene'er a cloud appears in the blue

George · « **Reply #170 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:51:03 PM »

Remember, somewhere the sun is shining

George · « **Reply #171 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:51:14 PM »

And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

George · « **Reply #172 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:51:30 PM »

A heart, full of joy and gladness

George · « **Reply #173 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:51:43 PM »

Will always banish sadness and strife

George · « **Reply #174 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:51:55 PM »

So always look for the silver lining

George · « **Reply #175 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:52:04 PM »

And try to find the sunny side of life

George · « **Reply #176 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:52:16 PM »

And then we repeat the song.

George · « **Reply #177 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:52:28 PM »

George · « **Reply #178 on:** September 16, 2023, 11:55:37 PM »

Here's a version by Rod McKuen from JEROME KERN: LIFE UPON THE WICKET S.T.A.G.E.

And here's a version "from the 1920 musical Sally, shown here from the 1929 film version. Both productions featured Marilyn Miller, singing here with Alexander Gray":
