VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI presided over a candlelit Easter Vigil Mass in St. Peter's Basilica Saturday night, ushering in the most important event of Christian Church calendar with a lengthy service attended by thousands.
The German Pontiff walked solemnly as he began the service in the atrium of the largest church in Christendom, where he carved the Greek letters Alpha and Omega on a large candle.
The basilica, which was kept in darkness, became a sea of flickers as the congregation lit thousands of candles before the lights were turned on
The gesture symbolized the darkness in the world after Christ's death and the light of the Easter resurrection.
In his homily the Pope, wearing gold and white vestments, said the resurrection of Christ lent hope to humanity -- even in its darkest moments.

Admiration and tribute to those of all faiths the world over.

Goodnight,
From Letty with love

while we are in rom and at the vatican ... just read this neat story in a booklet with some satchmo cd's .
satchmo and his wife had taken a private trip to rome some years ago .
when they arrived at the hotel there was an invitation from pope john for a private audience at the vatican . as satchmo found out , pope john was a live-long admirer of louis and had quite a collection of his records !
a/t the story they had a good time together sharing stories and laughs !
hbg


would this be an appropriate song for satchmo to sing in the vatican

Good morning, WA2K folks.

Well, hamburger, if the Pope liked Louis, anything would have been appropriate, right?

I think we should dedicate this to ehBeth since she refers to it as "peas and carrots." <smile> I love it, however, and recall singing the entire oratorio in our church choir. According to Beethoven, Handel was the greatest composer ever.


Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The kingdom of this world
Is become the kingdom of our Lord,
And of His Christ, and of His Christ;
And He shall reign for ever and ever,
For ever and ever, forever and ever,
King of kings, and Lord of lords,
King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And Lord of lords,
And He shall reign,
And He shall reign forever and ever,
King of kings, forever and ever,
And Lord of lords,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
And He shall reign forever and ever,
King of kings! and Lord of lords!
And He shall reign forever and ever,
King of kings! and Lord of lords!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

and a wonderful Easter day to everyone.

John Gavin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Gavin (born John Anthony Golenor on April 8, 1931 in Los Angeles) is an Academy Award nominated American film actor and a former United States Ambassador to Mexico. Gavin is half Mexican and fluent in Spanish.

Gavin is immortalised in a fashion by the fact that he was signed on for the role of James Bond in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever after George Lazenby left the role. However, he never played Bond due to Sean Connery's expensive return to the 007 franchise yet still had his contract honored in full.

Gavin's father's side, the Golenor family, of Irish origin, were early landowners in California when it was still under Spanish rule, though his father Herald changed the family's name to Gavin. His mother was a member of the powerful Pablos family in the Mexican state of Sonora.

He received a B.A. from Stanford University, where he did senior honors work in Latin American economic history, and served in the U.S. Navy in air intelligence from 1952 to 1955.


Film and stage career

Groomed as a virile, strapping, handsome leading man in the mould of Rock Hudson, some of his most famous roles include A Time to Love and A Time To Die and Imitation of Life (1959) for director Douglas Sirk and producer Ross Hunter, both of whom had earlier helped make a star of Hudson. Gavin also appeared in the seminal thriller Psycho (1960) for director Alfred Hitchcock, the epic Spartacus (1960) directed by Stanley Kubrick, and the 1920s-era Julie Andrews musical Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) for George Roy Hill, again for producer Ross Hunter. Each of those films was among the most successful box-office attractions of their year of release. Gavin also co-starred with such top leading ladies of the era as Doris Day in the 1960 thriller Midnight Lace, Sophia Loren the same year in the comedic A Breath of Scandal and, in 1961, with Susan Hayward in the melodrama Back Street and in Romanoff and Juliet and Tammy Tell Me True, both with Sandra Dee.

He was president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1971 to 1973. There have also been rumors that he was a coach of the Walla Walla Blue Devils located in Walla Walla, WA. And might have even help coach Drew Bledsoe while he attended the school.

Gavin made a successful foray into live theater in the 1970s, showcasing his baritone voice. He toured the summer stock circuit as El Gallo in a production of The Fantasticks and later replaced Ken Howard in the Broadway musical, Seesaw (1973) opposite Michelle Lee. Gavin also toured the country in Seesaw with Lucie Arnaz. Both the Broadway and touring production were directed by Michael Bennett.

A Republican, Gavin was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Mexico in June 1981 by President Ronald Reagan and served until June 1986. Since leaving government service, he has become a successful businessman and civic leader.

He has been married to Constance Towers, a stage and television actress, since 1974. When they wed, Gavin and Towers each had two children from previous marriages, so the couple have four adult children and one grandchild. Gavin's daughter, Cristina Gavin, followed in his footsteps and became an actress.

Biography

Early life

Arquette was born in Chicago, Illinois. Her father was actor Lewis Arquette, and her grandfather was comedian Cliff Arquette, best remembered for his "Charley Weaver" character, a fixture on the original Hollywood Squares. Arquette's mother, Mardi Olivia Nowak, was Jewish, the daughter of a Holocaust refugee from Poland. Arquette's father was a convert to Islam and a descendant of explorer Meriwether Lewis.[1][2][3] Her siblings are actors Rosanna, Richmond, David and Alexis Arquette. Arquette is also the sister-in-law of Courteney Cox, who is married to her brother David.


Career

At the age of eighteen she got her start in show business in 1986's Pretty Smart. A year later, she gained attention for her starring role in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, playing Kristen Parker. In 1993 she starred in Tony Scott's ultra-violent True Romance, which put Arquette on the map, so to speak. Soon after, her career took off, and she has since appeared in such critically acclaimed movies as Beyond Rangoon, Ethan Frome, Lost Highway, Stigmata, Bringing Out The Dead, Human Nature, Disney's Holes, and Flirting with Disaster. In January, 2005 she began starring in her first television series, NBC's Medium. Now in its 3rd season, the success of Medium has made Arquette a household name. She won a CableACE Award in 1991 for her portrayal of a deaf epileptic in Wildflower. She won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in 2005 for her role as the psychic Allison DuBois on NBC's Medium. In 2006, she was nominated for a SAG award and Golden Globe Award for her role on Medium. In 2007, she was again nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Medium.


Personal life

In April 1995, Arquette married Nicolas Cage (whom she would later co-star with in Bringing Out the Dead in 1999). They separated after nine months, but acted as a couple in public until Cage filed for divorce in February 2000.[4] The divorce petition was withdrawn, but Arquette filed again in November 2000.[5]

She and actor Thomas Jane became engaged in 2002 and married on June 25, 2006 at the Palazzo Contarini in Venice, Italy.[6] They have a daughter, Harlow Olivia Calliope, born on February 20, 2003. Arquette also has a son, Enzo (b. 1989), from her previous relationship with musician Paul Rossi.[7]

In 1997, after her mother died of breast cancer, Arquette worked to raise awareness about the disease. She has run in the annual Race for the Cure, and in 1999 was the spokesperson for Lee National Denim Day, which raises millions of dollars for breast cancer research and education.

A man was on a walking holiday in Ireland. He became
thirsty so decided to stop at a little cottage and ask
for something to drink. The lady of the house invited
him in and served him a bowl of soup by the fire. There
was a wee pig running around the kitchen, running up
to the visitor and giving him a great deal of attention.
The visitor commented that he had never seen a pig this
friendly. The housewife replied: "Ah, he's not that friendly.
That's his bowl you're using."

Louis Armstrong

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah

Well, folks, here is our hawkman with great bio's. I am especially interested in Patricia Arquette as I think Medium is one of, if not the best TV shows ever.

Loved your "bowl" story, Boston, as well as your Louis song of the day.

Searching through the archives for Mary Pickford, I was enlightened to find that she did a movie called Coquette, then found that Paul McCartney did this song by the same name.

Tell me, why you keep fooling, little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you?
Breaking hearts you are ruling, little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you.
Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets, you know, my little coquette, I love you.
Mm, someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you.
Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too.
And when you are alone with all your regrets, oo-oo,
now, you know, my little coquette, I love you.

What a fond memory, as we did that as a trio in middle school.

Will await our Raggedy with her famous photo's before commenting further.

Good morning.

Faces to Match:

There's our Raggedy, folks, with those pictures that say a thousand words. Thanks again, PA.

Well, we're looking at Mary, John, and Patricia. Since not one of them is a vocalist, how about our pun of the day.

A cattle rancher called his spread, Foci. When asked by his neighbors the reason for the name, he responded:

Well, Foci is where the sun's rays meet.
Son's raise meat.

Gene Autry

Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way
Bringin' ev'ry girl and boy

Things to make your Easter Bright and gay

And an Easter bonnet too.

Hoppin' down the bunny trail

Look at him hop and listen to him say,
"Try to do the things you should"

You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those choc'late bunnies
That he's hiding ev´rywhere,
Oh! Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day.

Hey, edgar. What kid doesn't know that one, Texas. As a matter of record, what grown-up doesn't know that one. Thanks for the memory.

Interesting facts, folks.

1 - RED: this color is associated with the blood that Jesus Christ had shed for mankind. Thus the color red is a symbol of love and sacrifice for goodness of humanity.
2 - WHITE: this Easter color signifies purity and grace.
3 - GREEN: the color green brings ray of hope. Green is the color of grass.
4 - PURPLE: Easter color purple is indicative of royalty. It is said that the color purple brings wealth.
5 - YELLOW: it is the color that is related to the brightness of sun. It's a color that brings joy and happiness.
6 - BLACK: it is the color that indicates the evil side. To put it other words, we can say black signifies darkness.
7 - ORANGE: it is the color that represents hope. It is associated with the dawn of day.
8 - PINK: Easter colour pink indicates fresh beginning.


And a little Easter tune to go with the colors.

The Easter Bunny paints his eggs
All purple, pink and blue,
Now, Mother Hen, I have to ask:
Why can't you do that, too?

Jessie Gaynor

Tracy Chapman
Before Easter

I may beg
Beg for money
I may lie and lay my body down
Sell what I would give with love
One day before Easter comes
But I won't let Jesus find me

I walk I eat I sleep
In these streets I may be found
Alive or dead or just reborn
One day before Easter comes
But I won't let Jesus find me

Jesus knows what I've done
I won't let him lift me up
Before I can turn
To look for him
Before I can turn
To look for him
If Jesus comes around again

I'll cry Ill cry
I'll cry for help
I'll let you be the one
To try to redeem the sins of man
One day before Easter comes
But I won't let Jesus find me

I'm gonna hide
Hide from him
Hide myself but not the sin
I'm gonna hide
Hide from him
Hide myself but not the sin
If Jesus comes around again
I've got the rock the needle
The bottle of sorrows
And Jesus Jesus Jesus knows

Welcome back, dys. Cowboy cafe you say? Well here's one for edgar and one for you.

all you do with your time
is tease me
Couldn't you find the time

Gerald Fried and Sherwood Schwartz

It's about time,
It's about space,
About strange people in the strangest place.
It's about time,
It's about flight,
Travelin' faster than the speed of light.

About space people and a brave crew,
As through the barrier of time they flew.
Pass the Roman Senators,
Pass an armored knight,
Pass the firing Minutemen,
To this modern site.

It's about time for you and me
To meet these people of amazing feats.
It's about two astronauts and how they educate
A pre-historic woman and her pre-historic mate.

It's about time
It's about space
About strange people in the strangest place
They will be here
With all of us
Dodging a taxi, a car, a bus.

Where will they go
What will they do
In this strange place where everything is new.
Will they manage to survive
Watch each week and see.
Will they get accustomed to the Twentieth Century.

It's about time
For our good byes
To all our pre-historic gals and guys.

And now,
It's About Time
It's About Time
It's About Time
It's About Time!

hope you all had a great easter sunday !

to close the day , how about listening to "mister five-by-five" sung by the andrew sisters ?
hbg

hbg, did you know that Patty Andrews is still alive? She is 89.

This makes a wonderful goodnight song for me, and the lyrics are lovely, folks.

I can see
No matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wine
And I am drunk with mine

I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?

I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?

(dream on, dream on, dream on)

Goodnight.
