The world can continue - my WalMart had meatballs again.

On a different subject I have a meatloaf in the oven.

On even another subject, my doctor retired yesterday instead of April 20 - so I had to reschedule my tomorrow appointment with my new provider....

It will be February 26.

I agree with Ron. So many possibilities. All the Things You Are and Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man immediately come to mind. I also love Gallavanting Around from the first Show Boat movie and Mr. and Mrs. Rorer from Sitting Pretty.

Jerome Kern songs:

So very many gorgeous songs. My favorite of all is "They Didn't Believe Me" but in a different context from the original lyrics. My favorite version was, IIRC, named "When They Ask Us". It's a glorious arrangement and stunning performance.

This is the end of Oh! What a Lovely War!. The melody is Kern's 1914 song "They'll Never Believe Me" from The Girl From Utah, and the parody lyrics are supposedly by Cole Porter.

I love HHW where you can learn the most wonderful things about music, musicals, and movies.....from folks who really truly know what they're talking about!

I was looking at that Seth MacFarlane CD that is now selling from $36 to $135.

Looking is all I'll be doing.

My favorite Kern song depends on the day, I think. I love the complete scores of the Kern shows I've been lucky to work on:
Have a Heart
Oh, Boy!
Oh Lady! Lady!
Leave it to Jane
Sally
Show Boat
Sweet Adeline
Music in the air
The Cat and the Fiddle
Roberta
Very Warm for May

But two songs Mabel mercer recorded are at the top of my list:
Poor Pierrot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPPN7US3xo0
Once in a Blue Moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHyFGGxlzac

I started watching a set of DVDs over the weekend that could send me down a serious rabbit hole -- the 1984-1986 TV series Riptide -- only because it was filmed literally in my back yard when I was living in Redondo Beach. I'm only 7 episodes in, with nearly 50 to go (once I acquire the third season set which is ridiculously hard to find and ridiculously pricey). But in those 7 episodes, which I've rewound and slo-mo'd and freeze-framed to an extent that would drive anyone else nuts, along with having the 1984 Redondo Beach / South Bay telephone directory right by my side, I have captured and re-learned more about my mid-1980s surroundings than I would have thought possible. For the South Bay, it ranks right up there with other notable L.A. filming location resources.

I need to shower, then head over to the local blood-letting place to get my labs done before the order expires. I kept putting this off, but no more excuses, it's time to get it done.

You must have been putting this off for a good long while.

Wow. At least you didn't have to wait long for your new appointment. I hope you like the new doctor.

By the time we went to bed last night I knew I was, without a doubt, sick. I'm glad the test told me I had covid in time to cancel my appointment.
