Would Petula Clark's million sellers be considered British rock/pop, or were they American? If yes, then I would say I loved "Downtown," "My Love," and "Don't Sleep in the Subway."

Page Two BROTHER BEAR Dance!!!

Danise · « **Reply #32 on:** February 25, 2006, 07:32:13 AM »

Bear has been a really good boy. Mom said he missed me while I was gone. He went to my door and cried--she tried to comfort him.

He climbed up in bed with me last night. Very gently I might add and as I type this, he is laying next to me.

I'm trying to stay in my chair since the bed isn't as comfortable as I thought it would be. I will switch to the couch in a bit so I can take a little nap.

That was the best part of coming home. I finely did get some good sleep.

Saturday greetings! I've been at work almost 2 hours, now, DR JRand (if that's any comfort).

Speaking of comfort, I hope you get some, DR Danise! I was going to suggest a recliner chair for sleeping for the next few days.

I must say, Ferry Cross The Mersey was always in my top ten Brit rock-and-roll songs.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #36 on:** February 25, 2006, 08:08:16 AM »

Ferry 'Cross the Mersey? I always thought it was Fairy, like the one in the garden.

Well, that changes everything, doesn't it?

When i was growing up I was not an overly large fan of the oldies station so I am gonig to take a wild guess who was British.... My first taste of music from the 50s and 60s was on American Graffiti and the tv show Happy Days. MOre of a fan of stuff from the late 70s to today....

These are a few songs from Brit Invasion that I do like...

Downtown by Petula Clark
American Woman by the Guess Who
Beatles stuff.... I know they were from the 60s....
Bee Gees -- I think they also recorded back in the 60s.

Looking at the other posts I recognize the songs but had not idea who sang them

Thanks Jane and everyone for the Vibes! I'm feeling a bit better now and I was actually able to take a nap for a couple of hours after getting back from Costco, but I will certainly sleep well tonight.

I usually got the LitterPurrfect brand at Costco, but they didn't have any. I had to get the big giant bucket of Scoop Away that claims to be 99.9% dust free. WRONG! I dumped it into the cat box and POOF! dust everywhere. Fortunately, it settled and Ebonie (my cat) doesn't seem to have a problem with it...so far.

Glad you are feeling better.

It was the LitterPurrfect we used for close to a year before realizing the negative effects of it.

I say yes, see 8 BELOW! Did you like Capote? We thought it was great.

Bruce, I'm so sorry about your Actor. LA is crawling with 40-ish character men... a plethora could learn the piece within a few days, and feel privileged to step into such a richly drawn part. Go for it.

Just by the way, I had the wonderful experience of being directed by BK when I was a nineteen year old wannabe - he is very much a collaborative artist, an actor's director. However, he does DIRECT - with an eye to the WHOLE show. I can see how an actor who is blinded by his own greatness would be hampered and constrained by having to mesh with a playwright's story and other actors' performances during a run.

The "Guess Who" were a North American Band Dakota Celt.

The Seekers and The Bee Gees were (for the most part Australian but recorded internationally. The Brothers Gibb (not including Andy) were UK born. Judith Durham (lead of the Seekers) was born in Sri Lanka.

Well, you've read the notes, they were brief and to the point and also to the point and brief, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're attending a bris right now.

If I had known about the notes earlier, I could have worn my briefs, instead of my boxers.

Or possibly to find a "Randy Scouse Git".

Just checked!!
I thought that the song by the Monkees was an international hit! (Also known as "Alternate Title").

Oh Well!! (an obscure Fleetwood Mac reference).
Where is Rodzinski!

Back from errands to find us on page two? This will NOT do, oh, no, this will NOT do. Some people feel a song comin' on - I feel a bitch-slappin' comin' on and let me tell you I will bitch slap everyone from here to eternity and hell and back at the slightest provocation.

That said, I shall now be on my way to Miss Linda Purl's and we shall then be on our way to a place called Whittier for a walk-through and then the performance.

I do hope to see many, many more posts upon my return much later this evening.

I did not realize that the Guess Who was American, thanks for the clarification....

Love the Bee Gees. A good friend of mine actually got to meet them several times.... Lucky Girl!!

I feel woefully ignorant of that time period... Now later 70s into the 80s, I would do better...
