Ok, music people -- We are going to have our annual talent show in May. Do you have suggestions for a song that is not too difficult that I could perform? I am not very good, so I need something easy.

What range do you sing? Soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor?? What kind of song do you want? Ballad, torch ballad, up-tempo? What's the occasion? "Our" talent show? Who's going to be the audience? Inquiring minds want to know!

Or was that three for Ms. Edith Head?

Well, this is naughty, so beware..... but it is late at night, and Boo-key and Adrianna should be asleep and not on here !!

Some of you know that I was around the General Hospital set fairly often around 1967 and 1968. The wardrobe master was a really funny and nice guy who was not only very cute but had a wicked sense of humor. And posted on one wall in the wardrobe room was a big, bold, block-lettered sign that said....

"Edith Head gives good wardrobe!"

DR George.... this will be at Laura's church. It is pretty traditional and quiet. Metropolitan Community Church, it ain't !

DR MusicGuy, are you free tomorrow morning? My DH wants to know if you want to play.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #396 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:00:41 PM »

Good Evening!

Whew!

-Just had to get that out of my system.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #397 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:02:25 PM »

Last year I did "Love, Look Away." At Christmas I did "Merry Christmas" from a Judy Garland movie.

They expect something funny, as well, like "The Twelve Days After Christmas."

Soprano, but not real high.

I am trying to get the reigning diva to do "Bosom Buddies" with me, but I doubt she will. She is too serious.

Darn, Darn, Darn..... I'm kind of busy with finish up work around the Ranch here for the next couple of days. But please tell DH Don that I really appreciate the offer, and if we have some nice "non-windy" weather this coming week, I'd love to go touch the clouds!

DR Laura.... this will only mean something to you, but one time for a Gala or a fund-raiser or something, Ron Rhode and I performed "Bosom Buddies" together.... yes, as a vocal duet. I think I was definitely more Vera Charles.

Re: Good Eats

[size=20]SPOILER!!!![/size]

A better show than last week, this time covering how to corn beef brisket, how to make corned beef and cabbage, and how to make corned beef hash.

There were more than the usual number of other talent on the show this time. Lucky played a butcher, Pops was back (this time as a pharmacist), Our Lady of the Refrigerator was back to perform her usual magic, Deb Duchon (who has been with the show since the second episode) gave her Culinary Anthropologist gig another round, and someone I don't remember seeing before played a New York cabbie. And they had an Irish priest and a Rabbi. That's a lot of other talent showing up.

All in all, quite satisfactory.

And, with that, I'm going to head to the bedroom environment to listen to the dulcet music of Murray Gold and read about food.

Hey, DR MusicGuy, why don't YOU sing "Bosom Buddies" with my mom at the talent show?

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #407 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:12:21 PM »

MusicGuy: He'll check the weather next Tuesday night. Call us if we don't call you.

And I'm off to watch "Infamous" on DVD.

Well, I'm afraid I'm just a bit too tired right now to do much of anything.... Well, except get ready for bed. -I shall have to read bk's Cuttin' Up report in the morning. -I wonder if his will match mine from earlier.

In any case...

Goodnight.

Speaking of Universal Studios (home of the Kettles, Abbott and Costello, and their famous monster series), I noticed that the second box of W.C. Fields classics comes out next week. There are a couple in there I have never seen and am looking forward to seeing.

And, of course, there's that surreal, one-of-a-kind NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK. Can't wait to add that to my collection.

Matt H. · « **Reply #413 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:38:55 PM »

I did finish up the LAW & ORDER: CI DVD box for season 2. A very creepy episode involving two doctors who as a team wooed and bedded women who would dump them when they realized they were being used and then the doctors would find a way to infect them with an animal virus. A very unusual episode, to say the least!

BONES had a nifty mystery tonight with a small debt due to STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Love Brennan's new boy friend, and it looks like Jack and Angela may be walking down the aisle before the end of the season.

CROSSING JORDAN had a more conventional murder mystery (the killer very easy to spot) wrapped around a frame story dealing with a viral outbreak that was spreading throughout Boston.

As the show winds down its sixth and probably last season, it looks like they're working various characters out of the series. Lily seems gone after tonight and looks like Jordan may have a health problem which may either kill her or keep her from remaining a doctor. Time will tell.

LOST had some excellent moments involving all of our regulars. The Claire surprise wasn't one at all for me, and I'm wondering if Desmond isn't getting interested in Claire himself. Just a feeling I had: maybe the Charlie premonition is a ruse to get Claire for himself in some way.

Locke again taking matters into his own hands continues to make me think that sometime in the last two seasons, he may have somehow gone over to the "other" side. Again, I just don't understand the choices he's made over the last year of the show if he's one one of them.

Matt H. · « **Reply #417 on:** March 14, 2007, 09:49:52 PM »

As for the IDOL results, I was delighted with the elimination and the next lowest vote. Maybe folks ARE listening and DO have some sense. Wasn't thrilled about the third lowest, however. I think he's one of the best of the guys.

I will say that during the Diana Ross medley, Chris Richardson sang better than he's sung for the last two weeks. He's been a big disappointment, but tonight gave me some hope for him.

BTW, I thought Haley was just awful in the medley tonight, and LaKisha has got to learn to smile and project more.

How about Carol King's "You Got A Friend"?
