I watched an interesting show on PBS tonight.

“WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW: The Lyrics of Hal David!”

I enjoyed it, but it would have been better if it wasn’t a Pledge Drive.

I learned that Dionne Warwick hated the song, ”Do You Know The Way To San Jose”.

I also learned that “I Say A Little Prayer” was a message to all our boys fighting in Vietnam Nam that we were praying for them.

Strangely, neither of the pledge drivers had never heard that before.

I had never heard that before.

TCB · « **Reply #128 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:34:01 PM »

And apparently no one associated with the program had heard that before.

A very closely kept secret from just about everyone.

They did have the film clip of Barbra Streisand singing One Less Bell To Answer/A House is Not A Home.

My very favorite Streisand singing performance. She is so beautiful in that clip.

The last couple of days I have watched a couple of documentaries on Amazon Prime.

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:40:30 PM »

One of entertaining and the other one.... not so much.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:42:05 PM »

One was about the American love affair with drive-in movie theaters.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:42:41 PM »

The other was about the sinking of the Andrea Doria.

TCB · « **Reply #136 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:45:33 PM »

I really enjoyed the one on drive-ins. It had a lot of interviews with “B” picture actors; such as Beverly Garland, Robert Fuller, Barry Corbin, and Jeanne Carmen.

TCB · « **Reply #137 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:45:53 PM »

It was a lot of fun.

The Andrea Doria was pretty poor, although it did have a lot of the newsreel footage when she finally sank.

TCB · « **Reply #139 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:49:57 PM »

The rather lame narrator called the sinking one of the great sea disasters of all time.

TCB · « **Reply #140 on:** March 09, 2019, 11:52:06 PM »

Although the Andrea Doria did sink, only 58 of the roughly 1,400 people onboard died.

At one point, they talked about all the celebrities who had sailed on the ship, but failed to mention that Ruth Roman and Betsy Drake were both onboard the ship when it was struck by the Stockholm.

The narrator was really bad.
