The only thing you can do about those awful strange things people say is laugh (later) and use them as quotes.

I'm certainly trying to see that 'My Dead Aunt Thanks You" ibecomes the catchphrase it deserves to be!

Good Annabelle News.

Yes DR FJL.....the theatre I worked at was doing a show called Coastal Disturbances by Tina Howe with a BEACH/Lifeguard Chair setting....so I wrote Beach Party Nuclear Protest (book & lyrics - music by David Meek) to play at 11 p.m. after the mainstage show....

We were quite popular with the populace - the lobby was full of folks waiting to get in to see us as the meager audiences and jealous cast members of the Howe play were pushing their way out of the building....

The cast indeed accused of us of stealing their toilet paper....so I bought a case of Charmin and set it on the makeup table.

It should certainly become a thing.

Real sand......it was everywhere.....and it was great!

BPNP was produced in cooperation with a local anti-nuclear war group....this was way back in 1990....

My program does not list the songs by title....those are the two that I remember....and the script and music has been lost to the ages....a video I had was eaten by a machine several years ago.....

It is timeless, at least until DR Laura changes her quote.

O Holy Night
I'll Be Home For Christmas
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy

Thatch loves "The Little Drummer Boy," but it's the one holiday song I truly detest. Can you imagine a woman, forced to give birth in a stable, forced to lie in a pile of dried grass, surrounded by stinky animals and feeling like crap, being pleased by an obnoxious kid beating a drum in her ear?

This is funny.

I am finally at the point where I can tolerate it. The first time I heard, or paid attention to the song was in 1963 on the Dick Van Dyke Christmas episode. Richie sang the song and I thought it was horrible.

Bruce, we were talking about BODYGUARD right here a few weeks ago. I think I was telling Jane and others about it. I thought it was excellent. It not only held my attention throughout -- I found it quite riveting. It's a BIG hit in the UK, right up there with DOWNTON ABBEY. I'm hoping there will be a second season, but I'm not really sure where they'd go with it.

Available on Netflix streaming.

I have several things to deal with this morning, including a big fight with a licensing company called Tresóna in Scottsdale ZA who claims I owe them $188,000+ for licensing fees I never requested.

Vibes this gets resolved QUICKLY!

I do recall that on Broadway, in the round so every seat was very close-up at the Circle in the Square, Tim Daly and Annette Bening were quite a sight to see in their bathing costumes (which seemed to have been made on a very tight fabric budget) circa 1986 or so.

The skimpiness of the bathing suits were integral to the plot. And perhaps the box office.

Timothy Daly posted the salute to the costumes in Twitter. This link should work.

Tuesday.

Competition vibes for DR JOHN G.

DR CHAS SMITH it sounds like it's time in your neighborhood for a revival of my musical BEACH PARTY NUCLEAR PROTEST.....which is entertaining AND informative....including such hit songs as "You're My Favorite Way to Keep Warm" and "My Heart Doesn't Know Why I Cry."

LOL. A curmudgeon's take on Christmas--or at least one Christmas song.

I spent almost two hours putting A Carol Christmas on CD Baby - they handle all our digital sales plus sell actual CDs, too. They've made it so time consuming - I couldn't believe it really. I used to be able to get a title up in about thirty minutes. I also got it up on Amazon.

BK - Have you tried Createspace lately? Everything was in the US for my last book; this one, no one I reach is in the US.

The last book was Sept. 2017, so much changed in the past year in terms of getting help from them.

I felt guilty the old library automatically checked out a book to me for 21 days when it has a long waiting list. I called so the book could be returned, instead my card was renewed
