Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sleep-inducing, and now it is time for you to post until the sleep-inducing cows come home.

And the word of the day is: GLEAN!

Topic of the Day: Yes.

Actually, I don't think there's a Sherman Brothers song that I didn't like. I do know and love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a little more than (don't hate me) Mary Poppins, but that's only because I'd known CCBB longer and have seen it more times. I just didn't see MP on TV as often as CCBB.

George, so glad to hear your final performance was such a huge success (even though the overflow house caused some problems). Congratulations to you and the whole cast and crew!

BK wrote about YouTube in the Notes: "I’m trying NOT to go down that rabbit hole, because there are thousands of these videos."

The whole process of YouTube seeming to "know" what other videos a viewer might be interested in based on what we've previously watched IS pretty amazing, though.

One of the most recent". On the day HHW was talking about TV themes, the videos YouTube would offer me following the first five or six theme song videos I'd watched all (or most of) the way through were most entertaining - and when I'd watch those the site would send more and more of them in the recommendations. That was most welcome - although some of the times, the follow-up recommendations are not as welcome.

Good morning, all.

Still not sleeping late enough for my tastes.

This is weird: I got up at 6:15 or so, got dressed, and lay down to cuddle with Annabelle. When I got up and turned on the computer, it was 7:22!

I did sleep rather well last night.

It would be hard to pick a favorite Sherman Brothers song. They’re all so wonderful. I read in one obituary that Richard was fond of A Man Has Dreams from Mary Poppins. That’s certainly up there.

John G. · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2024, 05:15:02 AM »

Step in Time ranks up there.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2024, 05:15:22 AM »

As soon as I finish my breakfast, I'm doing the laundry. I'm taking BK's book with me.

I'm hoping we have an excellent health report from our DR vixmom this morning.

Tell Him Anything (But Not That I Love Him) from The Slipper and the Rose is gorgeous.

Over Here! has some great songs: Dream Drumming, Charley's Place, Where Did the Good Times Go?

I'm with DRs George and John G! I am so fond of the Sherman Brothers' songs, beginning with "Let's Get Together." I do love the scores to Over Here! and The Slipper and the Rose, but Mary Poppins remains my favorite.

John G. · « **Reply #19 on:** May 27, 2024, 05:20:20 AM »

And the two times I saw Busker Alley, there was a haunting music box tune that somehow didn’t make it to the cast recording.

Freddie · « **Reply #20 on:** May 27, 2024, 05:21:57 AM »

Favorite Sherman Brothers songs - From their theater work, I've for decades been especially taken with the title song from "Over Here!"

Freddie · « **Reply #21 on:** May 27, 2024, 05:22:04 AM »

From their movie songs, I haven't seen these mentioned yesterday, maybe because they didn't write the whole score - but their two songs for "The Aristocats" were special favorites to me when that soundtrack first came out.

Later work:

Two Roads
The Whimsy Works
Mushka’s Lullaby

Yes, more health vibes to vixmom.

Also more health vibes to Ginny and Richard!

At the time that I first took the Disney World "It's a Small World" ride (I was 30 or so at the time, I think it was 1990), I hadn't been aware that the prevailing mood had been to find the repeating of "It's a Small World" to be annoying. And there was no internet yet to tell me that I should find the repetition annoying. So I loved the song all the way through, for all of the dozens of times it was heard on the ride.

The Times has an article from last Friday that Brooke Shields was elected the new President of Actors' Equity.
