Oddly, I feel as if I once attended the Bridgewater Country Fair once. I have a memory of watching pig races.

DR ChasSmith, I used to love the Butler county fair; I only attended the Ohio state fair once, around 1971, and I loved every minute of it.

I am completely inept at setting up a computer, TV, or sound system. As to assembling a cat tree, a table, or anything involving screws, nails, wrenches, pliers, or hammers, bring in the professionals.

Yay.

DR Elmore, we attended the Ohio State Fair a few times during my early childhood there in the 1950s. That was a very special thing for us.

DR Rodzinski, yes to the pig races, oxen pulls, and chainsawing competitions!

DR George, I was concerned you wouldn't get Wordle done in time and was glad to see you did it.

Rodzinski - My Manfred Mann fascination relates to their track of the song "Hollywood Town" on their Angel Station album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IyEVmEvy5o&list=RD9IyEVmEvy5o&start_radio=1

which developed into my parody series "Hollywood Gown" - which the songwriter Harriet Schock was very supportive of my doing, even mentioned the parody series when she did interviews - and we did them for over a decade mainly about the Oscars gowns, sometimes the Emmys outfits or Grammys outfits.

"Hollywood Gown" (This was the short one-minute version; it was the Oscars year where the gown showcasing Angelina Jolie's leg was huge in the next-day chatting)

We were taken to a county fair once somewhere south of Columbus. I'm looking at a map and thinking that was maybe around Washington Court House, but no way to know. Other than these few, I haven't been to all that many fairs. Never went to the L.A. County one, and in all of these years I've never been to "The Big E" of New England.

I got married quite young, so I've always had a man here to do those things for me. I can't put anything together. I admire women who can do things.

Jane · « **Reply #41 on:** **Today** at 08:01:13 AM »

Keith and I aren't good at putting stuff together. He has learned over the years and is now much better at it. Still, he does not like doing it.

Jane · « **Reply #42 on:** **Today** at 08:01:32 AM »

Keith got Wordle in five today.

Harriet’s “Hollywood Town” LP is a great one with her version of “That Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady” better than the cover.

Do you know Harriet?

Freddie · « **Reply #45 on:** **Today** at 09:01:30 AM »

Rodzinski - This is an interview where Harriet Schock mentioned the parody.

"I was inspired to write “Hollywood Town” for them. It became the title song of my first album. Manfred Mann covered it and it also was used in a well-known parody called “The Hollywood Gown” by Fred Landau featuring the gowns of the Oscars and Tonys. So that song has had a life and I suppose Tom decided it was a natural to call the film “Hollywood Town – The Harriet Schock Story.” Yes, my story may have started in Dallas Texas, but my career started in Hollywood."

Congrats to DR RODZINSKI on his millstone.

I enjoyed the photos in the notes and look forward to others.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #49 on:** **Today** at 09:21:28 AM »

I didn't know that was Commando Cody on the New Girl In Town cast LP. Wow! Now I want to listen to it again.

Freddie · « **Reply #50 on:** **Today** at 09:24:05 AM »

Jrand, I sent you a PM.

Jane · « **Reply #51 on:** **Today** at 09:27:24 AM »

DR Rodzinski, I like that Toys R Us is still a fun place for children.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #52 on:** **Today** at 09:30:14 AM »

Got it DR FREDDIE. Thanks. I shall be on the lookout.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #53 on:** **Today** at 09:32:04 AM »

Last night I watched Bon Voyage - which was a bit more tedious than I remembered it to be.

But it was fun. Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran are always fun to watch. And Deborah Walley and Michael Callan (who also played a couple in Gidget Goes Hawaiian) were nice to look at.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** **Today** at 09:38:24 AM »

That's one of those Disney films I remember being very fond of as a kid, probably went to it a couple of times, but I haven't seen it since. I believe I have a DVD here.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** **Today** at 09:39:46 AM »

Moon Pilot was another, and I wonder how it would play for me now.

Well, I have that, too, so maybe we'll find out.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** **Today** at 09:40:35 AM »

That had a chimp, right? The only other thing I can recall is that I liked the song at the end.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #57 on:** **Today** at 09:44:19 AM »

Yes there was a chimp in Moon Pilot....which I haven't seen since.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #58 on:** **Today** at 09:44:49 AM »

DRJANE found a dog friend at the Pfister Hotel.

I am uncertain how I feel about a Tim Burton remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman starring Margot Robbie.

No...I am not uncertain....I am horrified.
