Just read they're trying to pass a law so I can't go out on tour as The Platters!

Good. I saw "The Platters" in Branson and I was so confused.

There goes my career as a Drifter as well..

Sort of a Bobby Goldsboro reference there.

LOL DR Rodzinski.

Can you make it as a "Supreme"?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #122 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:26:58 PM »

As usual, right in synch, Tomovoz. I was listening to some Goldsboro earlier today. A Halloween musical he wrote called LUMPKIN THE PUMPKIN.

Maybe I'll change the spelling and go out as a "Supreem"!

DR Joy. The "I'm not talking about me moving in" line in "I'd Really love To see you" is possibly the hardest ever line to "pick up" in a pop single when every other line is so clear. Great song though.

I know just what you mean.

Knotts with Conway and some other young actor (from MShayne's site)

Tom-
TPunk and I would rather be skinned alive than listen to Rod's standards collections.

That's what my father-in-law said. Then one day we were having dinner and his wife had a mix cd on that included a Rod Stewart Songbook number, and, after humming along for awhile, he said, "This is great! Who is this singing?"

Ha! I had always thought it was "talkin' 'bout the linen" and that was on there. When my band performs that tune, we have some fun with the challenging lyrics.

I don't think it was Mr Goldsboros's fault that some of us left the Straight Life behind.

Yes, I heard from DR td the other day. He's working very long and very unusual hours. DOing fine.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #129 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:33:48 PM »

Thanks Joy. I would have voted for the Bolivia line!

Matt H. · « **Reply #130 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:34:19 PM »

Yes, I read that about Don Knotts earlier. Sorry to see him leave us. Always a wonderful comic actor.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #131 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:34:41 PM »

Tomovoz, you are a funny little clown!

Matt H. · « **Reply #132 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:35:22 PM »

Off now to do some catch-up cleaning chores. Got a little behind with my back strain, so going to see if I can follow-up with them now. Then, off to TV-land.

How does one insert the kind of hyperlink where you only see the words, such as "click here", but not the whole URL? I've been trying to figure it out... but apparently it's beyond me.

MBarnum · « **Reply #134 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:37:04 PM »

...I can't believe none of us have metioned THE LEFT BANKE'S Walk Away Renee as a favorite 60s British song! I just now remembered it!

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #135 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:39:14 PM »

THere are a number of groups from the 70s that I like and they went on to record in the 80s:

Fleetwood Mac -- Rumours is my favorite album
Genesis / Phil Collins: There are a couple of albums I really like but a scattering songs I love...
Abba (I know some will find it cheesy but it is fun to dance to)
Bee Gees: Too many to list....
Eagles : I like most of the songs....
Donna Summer (Yes, i was part of the disco scene when I was a kid)

I also liked Pure Prairie League....
Ambrosia
Melissa Manchester

Don McLean: American Pie

Cher had a couple of nice songs then... Bay City Rollers...Blondie.....

does the Dirty Dancing sound track count... I do like soem of the songs onthat one.....
"Do you love me?"

What if funny give me the later editions of Trivial Pursuit and i do very well.... Baby Boomers Edition and I BOMB big time....

Possibly because they were a New York group!
I'm in the minority but I always liked the version by The Four Tops.

Joy we have had a slew of work people here recently and they have all been pleasantly surprised to learn it was Rod Stewart singing.

I have never been a Don Knotts fan, still I find his passing sad.

Joy · « **Reply #138 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:53:04 PM »

Okay, gather ye vibes...

I just got a phone call about the possibility of a MAJOR job opportunity... nothing is definite yet, but it would be a dream come true. Please keep your fingers, toes, ankles, arms, legs, and eyes crossed for me.

Joy · « **Reply #139 on:** February 25, 2006, 03:56:14 PM »

RIP Don Knotts. :-(

Winnipeg it seems.
Clap Hands For the Wolfman and for Rodzinski. The Albert Flasher of HHW. Well maybe not.

Forgot all about the Bachman Turner Overdrive Connection too.. I'm losing it.

BTO recorded, at least, one of their albums in a recording studio in Seattle. The piano part in the song TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS (Hmmm, TCB, again) was done by a guy I went to school with in junior high named Norman Durkee. Norman stunned everyone in school when in the 8th grade he performed the WARSAW CONCERTO at our winter band concert.

I just heard the news that Don Knotts has died.

BK - I did a week long improv workshop at Esalen with Stephen Book back in about 1990. It was great! If you see him again please say hello. Not sure if he'll remember me, but he may.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #148 on:** February 25, 2006, 04:51:21 PM »

I shall now go and give TCB a spin!! Not the dizzy actor in the NW.

I finished LILI this afternoon. Wonderful, compact film of great joy and tenderness. How wonderful to see it again!

Didn't I read that CARNIVAL might return to Broadway?
