    Favorite Sinatra Tune/Film - Remembering Sinatra 10 Years After His Passing

    This is very cool to note. I appreciate you sharing this, Fletch. I share the same hometown (and am still here) with Red, and thanks to your post, I am finding more about him all the time. Kinda kooky, really. I actually have been thinking a bit about a Red Norvo concert or "Day" or...

    Modern Singers, Classic Music?

    She's interesting...good. From myspace I thought what a great, old-timey sound. I almost wanted to hear hiss, too. I followed her website link and watched a few seconds of the videos there. To me she sounds like a cross between Dolly Parton and Stevie Nicks, and perhaps favoring Nicks. I...

    'Deed I do. Same as your beloved's...if I remember correctly. Thank you so much.

    Modern Singers, Classic Music?

    Got your PM, thanks! Reply sent. Since I, too, am a "modern singer" doing "classic music", I just as well put myself out there. This is not recent footage...a year old, now. http://www.youtube.com/user/upStandardCitizens Enjoy...or not. It's great fun for me. Cab

    Modern Singers, Classic Music?

    So...Holly...How was the show (too early right now; I'm guessing you're still there)? And here's a way early happy birthday to Manuel! The Long Lost Cabinetman

    The Latest from Mr. Fawcett!

    Yes, that's lovely. With what will you wear this very light-colored chapeau?

    What do you NOT Want for Christmas?

    Don't tell anyone you like anything. They are bound to run away with the thought and get you that, and only that (and a lot of that) for years to come.

    What do you NOT Want for Christmas?

    This isn't exactly the same, but one Christmas before C and I were married, her mom (who always wants a list) was asking for ideas. I came up with at least one I that remember. I told her I would like to get a wok. I said specifically that I did not want an electric one. When Christmas...

    That show got canceled!? I need to know what happens!!!

    Yep. Did you happen to catch any of "Love Monkey"? I saw about one minute of one episode and thought, "Is this 'Ed' all over again?" Seemed very similar, the little bit that I saw. We watch CBS almost never, so I don't know what happened to that show. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't...

    James Stewart today? Tom Hanks!

    Doesn't hurt that he's a fellow countryman either, I suppose. Well, I say that as if I really know. I'm afraid I couldn't pick him out of line-up, much less do I know his lineage. His name is traditionally Scottish, though, right? :offtopic: When describing things or people from...

    James Stewart today? Tom Hanks!

    That, of course, is the current model "Series II". I have a vintage 55, too, but it needs new guts. I believe it's from about '46, or '46 was the last year this particular model was made before Shure went to the smaller body. C

    That show got canceled!? I need to know what happens!!!

    Arrested Development - of course to catch everything, you have to watch each episode 3 times, so its 3 season stint translates to 9. The Pretender - I don't recall how long this one lasted, actually, but I sure enjoyed it. Seems like there are still a lot of unanswered things, though. I...

    James Stewart today? Tom Hanks!

    The big advantage Jimmy has is his name and characters have been around a whole lot longer than any of our contemporaries. I am not sure that we can say anyone living has reached the iconic status of Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant or...(pick one). Maybe "icon" is too much for any person, but I...

    I have a Hatpeople cap in linen. I like it very much. At first, I wasn't sure it was the look I wanted. I ordered mine in a full cut. I tell you now, though, that it is the first hat I reach for. It is good for almost any occasion, from work to church, and the natural linen color is a nice...

    Music fans: a cover vs. a version, vs. a remake

    "My Way" is a curious example, too, as FS didn't really want to do it in the first place. But I get it, totally. As an American Idol watcher, you always hear the judges say stuff like, "Woa, if you're gonna do a Whitney song, you're gonna have to BRING it," and so on.

    Music fans: a cover vs. a version, vs. a remake

    The beauty of music - there are several beauties so I'll say, "A" beauty of music is that it is written for everybody. There are songs I have heard "mere individuals" do that are just, "Wow!" They're not recording it, but merely singing or playing it. Maybe they're not even performing it...
