Wow! Yeah... John Gilbert... When my Dad was living, my Mother used to tell me that, "everyone" thought he strongly resembled John Gilbert... Now, lots of my friends say, "You are starting to look like your Dad!" I take that as a great compliment! :rolleyes:

Hi Quigley, I know this is an old post, but since I am new here, and just browsing the Fedora Lounge, looking for threads on Cole Porter, I came across your post. I may have an answer to your question about where "Ridge Road" is... Since Wood was from the midwest, I'm sure he ventured...
