The YouTube parody-tribute to Bette Midler (that I did with the remarkable Jan Horvath) finally started catching on a bit more more after the Tony nominations.  (the first time in about 2 years that a YouTubeparody video of mine went over 3,000 views)

Could I ask a big favor of folks reading here - that if you like or liked the video, and have a YouTube account, could you hit the thumbs-up button under the video.

"Put On Your Tony Gown" - tune of "Put On Your Sunday Clothes"

Glenda Jackson was brilliant in the TV series (6 episodes). The way the Emmys worked back then she won two Emmy Awards (Series & 1 single episode) for the show and was nominated for a third award (Another single episode)

We took an afternoon tour to the country, including a castle and a tour of a port/Muscatel/winery.  While it sounds lovely we are not pleased and can't wait to return to Lisbon.

The winery was pretty but we were not given time to linger. The white muscatel was smooth and yummy, however, I was also expecting a taste  of port. We weren't given time to stroll the little town. We never went to the town near the castle. The pamaramic drive was nice except the views from the castle in Lisben are much better

Last stop was a nice enough town with an expected 30 min stop reduced to 20 min.

All in all, not worth the long drive in a bus.

The neighbors in the apartment next to me are having a loud birthday bash... in some language other than English.  Some form of Spanish I think.   I was hoping to listen to Mr. President as I puttered around the house, but their music is quite loud.  Some sort of dance music.  I have a feeling this will end soon, though.   One time they had a roaring party and by 9:00pm it was dark and quiet as a mouse.  I guess it could be worse.  I'm easy!

Tonight I'm making zucchini noodles with pesto, blistered cherry tomatoes and parmesan cheese.   This will be the first time I've tried zucchini noodles and I've never blistered a tomato in my life.

I just watched the children's hour on TCM. I had never seen this movie before, although I had heard of it and the subject mAtterbut that did it prepare me for emotional impact of the movie.

And what wonderful story telling and amazing acting especially by Miss Hepburn

Mom told me her story today. It's sad because she can hear all the holes in the story the guy sold her and she's beating herself up over it. I told her the same thing I told my dad when someone tried to scam him: this just shows how much you love your family.

Doctors once prescribed a tonic.
Sulfur and molasses was the dose.
Didn’t help one bit.
My condition must be chronic.
Spring can really hang you up the most.

I've always loved that lyric, but I never believed it. However, in reading a book called "Home Grown" by Della T. Lutes, I came across this passage:

As the colds disappeared and spring drew near we needed tonics. Sulphur and molasses, of course, was most commonly administered to the defenseless. My father refused to touch it and, as the snow disappeared, concocted his own "bitters." These were made from the roots of rhubarb, yellow dock, dandelion, mandrake, and God knows what else, with the bark of elder and sassafras added.

Today, I went to see "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2" in IMAX 3D!  Wow!  It's an action paced adventure with lots of emotions.  We both thoroughly enjoyed it. 
Title: Re: THIS GUY I KNOW
Post by: George on May 07, 2017, 11:48:34 PM
Yes, there is a lot of action, and I mean a LOT!  The 3D is very effective.
Title: Re: THIS GUY I KNOW
Post by: George on May 07, 2017, 11:49:05 PM
But there's a pretty good story behind it...in my opinion.  Is it the greatest story for an action movie?  No, but it's certainly much better than even the better-than-average. ;)

You wouldn't know the background of the characters' releationships, but the movie itself would be easy to follow.

The YouTube parody-tribute to Bette Midler (that I did with the remarkable Jan Horvath) finally started catching on a bit more more after the Tony nominations.  (the first time in about 2 years that a YouTubeparody video of mine went over 3,000 views)

Could I ask a big favor of folks reading here - that if you like or liked the video, and have a YouTube account, could you hit the thumbs-up button under the video.

"Put On Your Tony Gown" - tune of "Put On Your Sunday Clothes"
a warm parody-tribute to Bette Midler in Hello Dolly - (a parody-tribute by Fred Landau & Jan Horvath, with a vocal by Bruce Horvath)
Link is at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv4JujI26zM

Thanks if you have a minute or two!

Fred

Done!
