Oh, look!  It's Page Four!

[George]

Well, this is cool...someone just posted a complete audio of the original production of The Sound of Music on YouTube!

The Sound of Music (October 8 1961) Full Show: Mary Martin, Theodore Bikel & Original Broadway Cast

Here's the first paragraph in the description:

Vincent J. Donehue was the director for the original 1959 Broadway production of Sound of Music. The show was the final Broadway collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, and starred Mary Martin, Theodore Bikel, Patricia Neway, Marion Marlowe, Lauri Peters, Brian Davies, and many others. Joe Layton did the dances.

And it sounds amazing!

Cute!

I love the words AND the music for this song by John Bucchino.

In a Restaurant By the Sea

In a restaurant by the sea
On a liquid afternoon
For a moment eyes collide
And the world's periphery


Now your pupils learn the sun
To reflect it brighter back
In a moment I'll come to
And retrieve a sip of wine
But for now, I drink you in

Inches separate our hands
When I move to close the gap
You won't clutch or draw away
As too many have before


For a moment eyes collide
And reality's the dream
With the wine wet on your lips
And a tear moist in my eye


In a restaurant by a sea
On a liquid afternoon
For a moment...

I really like John Bucchino's music.  I have his CD and the corresponding songbook to Grateful: The Songs Of John Bucchino.  I even performed "That Smile" (as a solo, of course)

Maybe Keith should always do Wordle in the morning as he got it in two today

Congrats to Keith!

[George]

Wordle in Three.

Very nice, Jrand!

For a moment eyes collide
And reality's the dream
With the wine wet on your lips
And a tear moist in my eye


In a restaurant by a sea
On a liquid afternoon
For a moment...

The last time I spoke to John Bucchino, he wanted to know how if something he'd written was eligible for the Pulitzer Prize. He's never called back.

Darn.

I've heard a big chunk of that. Martin is amazing. Easy to see why her feel -good performance won her the Tony. Merman was still robbed. The tape of her Gypsy is phenomenal. But then again, Gypsy didn't win a single Tony.

Was Marion Marlowe related to Hugh Marlowe? I only think of him as Jim Matthews on Another World.

I just read an article that called Jane Austen an 18th century novels. I stopped reading.

Well, her favorite novels were 18th century. Does that count?

I've always liked John Cena for his sense of humor about himself, but this photo just made me love him.

I don't follow sports, but I thought this was funny: (WI Green Bay) Packers fans versus (PA Philadelphia) Eagles fans:

Sunday evening greetings!  I’ve been quite lazy today.

Amazon just delivered Herod the Great, the latest book from Zora Neale Hurston. She’s been dead for more than 60 years, but she’s had four new books in the last seven or eight years.

[John G.]

JB liked the box it came in. So, we’re both happy.

[John G.]

Elmore, I found Mercy Street. Now I need to find the time to get to the post office.

[John G.]

Do you want both seasons? I doubt I will ever watch it again.

That's adorable!  Sports fans with a sense of humor about it.

Almost time to go dancing.

But let’s quit this page first.

[John G.]

Just two.
