Interesting...    Drat! the Cat! doesn't appear to be on any of the streaming services. I do own the CD.

You are so kind to say that and I think it’s because you have such a big heart.

In the ‘70s, beer can collecting was all the rage, and my brother had quite the collection. One time I was riding up our block on a toy horse on wheels, when a friend of my brother came up and told me my brother had wanted to give him a can, would I go get one? So I chose the one that looked the neatest, which was his rarest, a can from Hawaii. When my brother got home, I happily told him how I’d helped, only he went berserk. The kid had lied and scammed me. I was in trouble. My dad had to go visit the kid’s parents. High-level negotiations were had, by nightfall, the can was returned and I was off the hook. Scammers of the innocent have always been a fact of life.

When the scammer is your own brother and his wife, what do you do?


I wrote a little song about it. With an "Age 18+ only" warning on it (F-- word used several times; parental guidance suggested for horrific greed and gay-targeting!)

To return to the Rodgers & Hart songs for a moment, how many of you know they wrote two "Spring is Here" songs? The first was from their 1929 show Spring is Here, which included "Why Can't I?" and "With A Song in My Heart." The mopre famos one is from the 1939 I Married An Angel."

Here are Frank Albertson and Inez Courtney doing the song in the 1930 film of Spring Is Here:
