That's interesting, DR Ron Pulliam. In iTunes, that album does have the Russo, but it has Gershwin's "American in Paris" instead of Bernstein's "West Side Story" suite.

In real life, it has everything listed on the album.

That said, however, there was a release with an identical cover, but which omitted the Bernstein and included the Gershwin.  It also includes William Russo's "Street Music", the 4th movement of which is the one I have been listening to.

DR RON PULLIAM that is a reference to an event in the notes.

[Jrand74]

DR RODZINSKI that is a great clip!

I always thought all of those Bubble Gum groups on Buddah were studio musicians and not a real band.  I had never heard The Lemon Pipers sing live.....nice.

And of course....Ann!

[Jrand74]

DR ELMORE that sounds like a good plan.

DR RON PULLIAM that is a reference to an event in the notes.

Ohhhhhhh....I get it, sort of.

[singdaw]

Has any DR ever heard of Shoepeg casserole? It's made with shoepeg corn, which is a variety of sweet white corn.

[singdaw]

And it has a crushed Ritz cracker topping, of course.

[Jane]

From DR Singdaw:

I am too full for popcorn, so please tell Keith.

LOL, so was I. 

[Jane]

DR John I am glad you also find the questions at the end of the book annoying.

[Jane]

From DR George:

I never really pay attention to those.

Smart move.

[Jane]

DR Ginny since you also belong to a book discussion group I am curious about your opinion on those questions.

[Jane]

Fantabulous night of sleep.

I got up earlier than I planned...because it's geese mating season out in the yard by my bedroom windows. 

I haven't seen them in months, and now here they are in full force clacking away.

Bless their hearts.

[Jane]

Have as wonderful a Sunday as possible, everyone.

I won't be watching the Super Bowl, but will check in on the score every now and again.

FWIW, I hope the 49ers win it.

Why am I not surprised.  Same here.

[Jane]

The T-Mobile Super Bowl ad, which includes Jason Momoa and Zach Braff singing and dancing to a rewritten "Flashdance, What a Feeling," is pretty interesting.

Back in my college days, I read everything available by Flannery O’Connor, true poster child for Southern Gothic writers. She seems to be having a moment these days. I read recently that someone turned her notes for her unfinished novel into a book. She’s also a main character in Ann Napolitano’s A Good Hard Look, which I am halfway through. I think I need to reread some of her work soon.

I haven't read O'Connor and only read Napolitano's Hello Beautiful.

[ChasSmith]

Good afternoon, all.

[ChasSmith]

I was ketchuping on a lot of stuff this morning, to the point that I eventually forgot I hadn't even logged in here yet.  Woops.

[ChasSmith]

Soon I have to ketchup on even more things, not least of which is replenishing the ketchup (and a few other things) at the grocery store.

[Jane]

Here the Lemon Pipers perform Rice is Nice and their bigger hit Green Tambourine for Mike Douglas and Sebastian Cabot.
Different times.

Interesting.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.

In honor of Super Bowl Sunday, I shall do an end run.

[Ginny]

Sunday afternoon greetings!  I christened my new craft space yesterday participating in an all-day virtual card making event.  My sister (in Michigan) and niece (in Florida) we’re also online and we had fun crafting “together.”

[Ginny]

DR Ginny since you also belong to a book discussion group I am curious about your opinion on those questions.

I assume you mean the suggested discussion questions?  They’re often pretty lame.  Here’s a list I do like:

https://www.oprahdaily.com/entertainment/a31047508/book-club-questions/

But I’d reword some of them so they’re not yes/no questions.  Those aren’t very good discussion starters.

[Ginny]

Those guys all went to Miami U. Did Elmore or Ginny hang with the Lemon Pipers??

Not me, DR Rodzinski.  They’re the same age as Richard and DR Elmore, who were both students at Miami’s Oxford campus. I’m 4 years younger and came to Miami’s Middletown campus as an employee, but not until 1973.

When I asked Richard about them he said, “They played in the uptown bars and I didn’t have the money for that scene.”

We need video of this!

That certainly does sound like fun!

  Are you pleased with the space you created?

I knew of them, but they were a year or two ahead of me, as I recall. I never saw them perform.

Thanks for the link. I will save it as there are some good question suggestions.  I often ask how they felt about something vs a yes or no option.
