Page 3 before 11 a.m. Eastern - That seems promising!

[Freddie]

I have postponed my haircut until after the Christmas holiday......call me Cousin Itt......around the sides.

One of my favorite obscure mentions of Cousin Itt is in the Christmas-ish show ANNIE -

When you wake, ring for Drake
Drake will bring your tray.
When you're through, Mrs. Pugh
Comes to take Itt away!

[John G.]

A Broadway Christmas
A Hollywood Christmas
Mel Torme
Maureen McGovern
Many editions of Carols for a Cure
Both of Ella’s

Even with questionable lyric changes, I do get a good feeling from

Mitzi Gaynor's rendition of "We Need a Little Christmas"

... which can be called MAME ON ICE if your mind works that way.

[Freddie]

I like the look on her face where Mitzi is singing "It hasn't snowed a single flurry" while looking at the snow falling all around her.

[George]

That's pretty cool.

Fortunately, it's only for the season.  It would be annoying to have books turned around like that for a design concept all year round.

BK, have you seen the opera version of Marnie? If yes, your thoughts?

[George]

Here’s an uplifting-ish story I edited for our mag about how Edmund “Kris Kringle” Gwenn’s ashes were lost for decades and finally located and given a proper resting place.

That's a very sweet story.

The book snowman is simple, yet clever.

Nice story. Thanks for sharing it

[Jane]

Photographic evidence.....1992,,,,,with two of my favorite people Brad Sandy & Adeline Knoy.

You look great.

[Jane]

Better Health Vibes for everyone!!!

Make sure you all drink plenty of liquids (preferably water or juice sans alcohol).

Get rest.

And make sure you eat something during the day.

DITTO!

lol, i AGREE.

From DR Iris:

His passion is actually Shakespeare.

I was fortunate to see him as Hamlet and as Macbeth in Los Angeles. He was fantastic.

I can easily imagine that he was fantastic.

[Jane]

It is nice to know he is still doing what he is passionate about.  Thanks Iris.

[Jane]

From DR Ron:

I can smell and taste now, however.

Thank goodness.  The symptoms lasted way too long.

[Jane]

DR Vixmom, I enjoyed reading about your evening with Neil Gaiman.

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of sleep. Dog really needed to pee so out we went and she did.

[bk]

Whatever it is that I have, it's all in my nose and throat now, which will hopefully be the end of it.

[bk]

I'd like to see the opera of Marnie - I saw the coming attraction but that's it.

[bk]

I don't think I ever owned a holiday-themed LP. But on CD, of course A Broadway Christmas, perhaps the most imitated CD I've ever produced.

[bk]

Trying to change some passwords in mac mail and there's no place to do so anymore. I don't get it. I got some useless guy on chat, so now I have a call scheduled.

[George]

Q for BK, or anyone who’d care to answer. What are your favorite Christmas/holiday LPs?

My parents had this, and I just really liked it.  His version of "Sleigh Ride" is probably my favorite version of all.

[George]

Quite a few years ago, I found that it had been released on CD, so I got my own copy.

[George]

The Manhattan Transfer also have their first Christmas album:

[George]

And their An Acapella Christmas:

[George]

They also have a live concert DVD:

[George]

This is the cover of the DVD that I have.  The Amazon listing says that it's Region 2, but there are other listing for Region 1 releases with different covers. 

Just had to share.
