Hee, hee, M.D. Love it. Ain't parents demanding? Incidentally that mouse was a foil to Klondike Kat and his name was Savoir Faire and he was everywhere.

So, folks, from Michelle Branch

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

Oops, Victor. We were playing cat and mouse and I missed you, buddy. Yep, that's the cat all right.

And here's one from Hank Snow about the gold rush in the Yukon?

Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye
Stake out your claim now on some other guy
I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone
But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on

Now when I had the money honey, things were just fine
You spent my money like I was a mine
But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone
So gold-diggin' Mama, you can start moving' on

You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big
Now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig
Well, stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your time
This old gravy train is at the end of the line

(Repeat Chorus)

You've been out prospecting all around on the side
But this old mule now, has had his last ride
So start walkin' woman 'cause your grubstake is gone
The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on

(Repeat Chorus)

That is he, Victor. Razz Making a moue at you.

Now here is one, folks, the dys and edgar ought to know.

I ride an old paint, lead an old dam,
Goin' to Montana to throw the houlihan.
Feed 'em in the coulees, and water in the draw,
Tails are all matted and their backs are all raw.

Chorus:
Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow,
They're fiery and snuffy and a-rarin' to go.

Old Bill Jones had two daughters and a song,
One went to college, and the other went wrong.
His wife got killed in a free-for-all fight,
Still he keeps singin' from mornin' till night.

Chorus:

I've worked in your town, worked on your farm,
And all I got to show is the muscle in my arm,
Blisters on my feet, and the callous on my hand,
And I'm a-goin' to Montana to throw the houlihan.

Chorus:

When I die, take my saddle from the wall,
Put it on my pony, lead him out of his stall.
Tie my bones to his back, turn our faces to the west,
We'll ride the prairie that we loved the best.

Probably performed by every "cowboy" singer

Tonight will be fine

Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
We swore to each other then our love would surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
now I am too thin and your love is too vast.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
the windows are small and the walls almost bare,
there's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

Oh, sometimes I see her undressing for me,
she's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
and she's moving her body so brave and so free.
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.

And I know from her eyes
and I know from her smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

Ah, your secret is out, Victor. Razz

edgar, to be honest, I was first introduced to Leonard Cohen when I heard Suzanne. I loved it then and still love it, Texas. Your song sounds like Leonard in love. <smile>

Also like the lyrics to this one, y'all.

The Future -- 1992

The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again,
I heard them say,
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.

The wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again;
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed,
the marriage spent;
the widowhood
of every government --
signs for all to see.

Can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned up
a thundercloud
They're going to hear from me.

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum.
Every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

Wow! edgar. I just found out that Rick Moranis is from Toronto, Canada.

Unusual song by him. Thank you, Texas.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/RickToday.jpg

dys, I took a peek, as Victor did, and found who did that song, so here's a matching poem.

Elegy


Too proud to die; broken and blind he died
The darkest way, and did not turn away,
A cold kind man brave in his narrow pride

On that darkest day, Oh, forever may
He lie lightly, at last, on the last, crossed
Hill, under the grass, in love, and there grow

Young among the long flocks, and never lie lost
Or still all the numberless days of his death, though
Above all he longed for his mother's breast

Which was rest and dust, and in the kind ground
The darkest justice of death, blind and unblessed.
Let him find no rest but be fathered and found,

I prayed in the crouching room, by his blind bed,
In the muted house, one minute before
Noon, and night, and light. the rivers of the dead

Veined his poor hand I held, and I saw
Through his unseeing eyes to the roots of the sea.
(An old tormented man three-quarters blind,

I am not too proud to cry that He and he
Will never never go out of my mind.
All his bones crying, and poor in all but pain,

Being innocent, he dreaded that he died
Hating his God, but what he was was plain:
An old kind man brave in his burning pride.

The sticks of the house were his; his books he owned.
Even as a baby he had never cried;
Nor did he now, save to his secret wound.

Out of his eyes I saw the last light glide.
Here among the liught of the lording sky
An old man is with me where I go

Walking in the meadows of his son's eye
On whom a world of ills came down like snow.
He cried as he died, fearing at last the spheres'

Last sound, the world going out without a breath:
Too proud to cry, too frail to check the tears,
And caught between two nights, blindness and death.

O deepest wound of all that he should die
On that darkest day. oh, he could hide
The tears out of his eyes, too proud to cry.

Until I die he will not leave my side.

Dylan Thomas

Steppenwolf -Magic Carpet Ride

I like to dream yes, yes,
Right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Goodnight, everyone.

Good morning WA2K listeners and contributors.

edgar, I know that song, but the recording artist is not familiar to me. Thanks, Texas, for the reminder.

Well, I was surprised, folks, to hear and see the familiar last evening, and it is still just as beautiful as ever.

Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask Of You Lyrics

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Christine
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from you solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that's all I ask of you.

Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.

Together
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Christine
Say you love me...

Raoul
You know I do.

Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me...
that's all I ask of you.

Michele Lee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Birth name Michelle Lee Dusick
Born June 24, 1942 (1942-06-24) (age 64)
Los Angeles, California, USA
Notable roles Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie on
Knots Landing

Michele Lee (born on June 24, 1942) is an Tony and Emmy-nominated American singer, dancer, actress, producer, director and frequent game show panelist of the 1970s. She is best-known for her role as Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie on the 1980s prime-time soap opera, Knots Landing. She also co-starred with Dean Jones in the 1968 Disney cult classic movie, The Love Bug.





Early life

She was born as Michelle Lee Dusick of Jewish heritage in Los Angeles, California, to Jack Dusick, who was a popular makeup artist for MGM Studios during the 1950s and 1960s, and to Sylvia Dusick, who was a stay-at-home mother. She had a younger brother, who's currently a district attorney. When she was in 10th grade at Alexander Hamilton High School, she tried out for a band and served as its lead singer; at the same time, she was very popular with her class and received excellent grades. She graduated from high school in 1960. After graduation, as she began her career in show business, per her parents' wishes, she dropped the name of Dusick, and the extra l of her first name, therefore becoming Michele Lee.


Stage actress

Lee began her career on television in an episode of the late 1950s sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. When she was 18, she auditioned for the Broadway play Vintage '60. She soon began appearing in musicals, becoming a star on Broadway at the age of 19 in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in the role of "Rosemary", opposite Robert Morse and the late Rudy Vallee, a role she reprised in the film version. She also appeared in more plays, such as the Los Angeles production of Parade and the Broadway productions of Bravo Giovanni and The Tale of the Allergist's Wife .


Singer

In addition to starring in Broadway plays, she also made guest appearances on a number of variety and game shows, making her debut on an episode of The Danny Kaye Show in 1963. This part led to another guest appearance on an episode of The Carol Burnett Show. As her popularity grew in the late 1960s, she was also a recording artist signed to Columbia Records. Between 1967 & 1968, she recorded 2 separate albums per year. The first album she recorded was A Taste of the Fantastic which was followed by L. David Sloane. She sang mostly in nightclubs and traveled to the famous Persian Room in New York and the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas.


Film and TV work

After she sang and starred in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967), she became known for her roles in the films The Love Bug (1968), and The Comic (1969). Lee's movie The Love Bug became the biggest blockbuster movie of 1969. That same year, she starred in a special television production of the Jerome Kern - Otto Harbach musical, Roberta, in which she sang Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. After the birth of her son, she worked infrequently until accepting a role on Broadway in Seesaw, which netted her a Tony Award nomination in 1974. After her mother's death, she stopped working, wanting to spend time with her only son.


Charismatic 1970s actress

In addition to becoming a singer, Lee became one of the most in-demand guest actresses of the 1970s, appearing in an episode of: Marcus Welby, M.D.. The part led to other roles such as: Alias Smith and Jones, Night Gallery, Love, American Style, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, and Disneyland, in which she reprised her role in the popular 1960s movie, The Love Bug.


Prolific 1960s/1970s game show panelist

Lee's name would proved to be even more prominent by making numerous appearances on several game shows in the 1970s, such as: Hollywood Squares, Match Game, Celebrity Sweepstakes, This Is Your Life, The Movie Game, The $25,000 Pyramid, What's My Line, The Gong Show, Snap Judgment, among many others. She appeared on a pilot of a trashy 1970s game show, Cop-Out that have never been aired.


Television work

Knots Landing

In 1979, Lee accepted an acting job after a three-year sabbatical, the leading role in Knots Landing, a spinoff of the immensely-popular, Dallas. On Knots, Lee was cast as feisty matriarch Karen Fairgate MacKenzie. Her co-stars on the show were familiar character actors Joan Van Ark and Ted Shackelford, who played Karen's best friends and neighbors, Val and Gary Ewing, who had both guest-starred on several episodes of its parent show, Dallas. The first season episodes did not receive high ratings, but CBS continued to support the show and it took off during its second season in 1980, when actress Donna Mills came on to the show as Karen's wicked sister-in-law, Abby Fairgate Cunningham.

Although Lee was having great success, her marriage to actor James Farentino was failing. She and Farentino divorced at around the same time Lee's onscreen husband, Don Murray left the show. Lee thus played a single mother on Knots at the same time she was becoming one in real-life. In 2005, Lee revealed that when her character took off her wedding ring in 1983, after a year of mourning, Lee was taking off her real life wedding band.

After Lee and Farentino divorced in 1983, she met Fred Rappaport at a party. They were married in 1987. During the fall of 1982, her character met M. Patrick "Mack" MacKenzie (Kevin Dobson), who became her television husband a year later. They would continue working together until the end of the series. As one of the leads, Lee became very popular with fans, winning the Soap Opera Digest Award for Lead Actress five times, and being nominated for an Emmy Award in 1982 for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series." In 1983, the writers/producers of Knots Landing urged her to do a storyline based on drug dependency. She hated the script, but agreed to do the storyline. Six years later, Lee directed her first episode and continued to do so until the series ended. Lee's co-star Van Ark has publicly praised her directing skills. In 1990, Knots Landing reached a milestone with 300 episodes in the can, being second only to its parent soap, Dallas. During the 12th season, Michele Lee wrote her favorite scene from the series which is known as the "Pollyanna Speech" among fans. In this scene, the character explains how she would like to be a pollyanna, but cannot be due to the world around her.

As Knots moved into the 1990s, its popularity began to wane. The big budget that the series once had was trimmed; in the final season, the higher paid cast members were asked to appear in only 15 of the season's 19 episodes, as the budget constraints had become so that the production company couldn't afford to pay them. Lee refused and appeared in all 19 episodes that season, doing her extra four for union scale. This allowed Lee to appear in all 344 episodes of the series: a record that has not been broken by any other actress in a primetime drama to date.

Van Ark said that prior to shooting the very first episode of Knots Landing with Michele, "On the pilot episode of the show, which was a beach episode, there was a photo of the two of us, running side by side that the step photographer forgot that it always been to me a kind of template for Karen/Val and for Joan/Michele, because we were running side by side, in tandem and in stride, together." Just 14 years later, she revealed that picture on a mug to Michele, before giving it to her on the Knots Landing Block Party, before the series finale aired. Prior to Michele's real-life divorce in 1982, Joan was her caregiver. She said (while confiding in Michele), "I go by her house, pick her up, and she told me, 'On the way out, in the rain, and it rained all that day.' I'll never forget, and I hope I'd helped her that day. I'll never forget, because of all the brave things that she was doing --- I realized it was brave for anyone to make a decision like that." Due to Lee's popularity on the show, she also served as the director of Knots Landing, Joanie said in a congratulating attempt, "When she started to direct the show, because she knew those characters and she knew the show, she was of course seamless and that was wonderful, and we all expected that. Because I think Michele is a director at heart. She sees things virtually, she's got a great eye." In addition, Joanie also said that during Lee's incredible run on Knots, on all the 14 seasons she appeared on the show, "I think that Knots Landing gave Michele a platform. It's like a beautiful piece of timing the way anything and everything it is. It came at a perfect time so that she could incorporate all this energy, multi-talented ability of hers, where it proved to be a moving ground." In late 1998, she along with the rest of her Knots Landing co-stars wanted to congratulate the talented actress on being honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2005, when being invited to a 25th Anniversary, entitled: Knots Landing: Together Again, both Lee & Van Ark, looked back at some of the past scenes, including the pillow scene which made Van Ark laughed. In the reunion, Joanie said to Michele of her character's long-running friendship that, "Heart-to-Heart, Val will spill her guts to Karen." When she asked her in the scene about retrieving the babies back to Van Ark's character, "When I got them back, do you remember the scene?," said Joan, "Me coming down the stairs with my hair all wet. And you bring the twins in and there's Lilimae (Julie Harris) getting the door."


After Knots

Knots Landing ended in 1993. Lee has since appeared in many made-for-TV movies, including a biopic of late country star Dottie West and the Knots Landing reunion special, Knots Landing: Back to the Cul-de-Sac. In 1996, she became the first woman to star in, direct, and produce a TV movie for Lifetime, Color Me Perfect. In 1998 Lee portrayed Hollywood novelist Jacqueline Susann in the television biopic Scandalous Me: The Jacqueline Susann Story. In 2004, she returned to feature films in the role of Ben Stiller's mother in Along Came Polly. She guest-starred alongside Chita Rivera in a February 2005 episode of Will & Grace. She and her son relocated to New York.


Private life

In 1963, she met actor James Farentino on the set of the theatrical play, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and in 1964 they were married. Their son David Farentino was born July 6, 1969. She lost her father Jack Dusick in 1970 from a massive heart attack. In 1976, she lost her mother, Sylvia Dusick.

"Man Laws"

1. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

8. On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

9. When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who is playing.

10. You may be flatulent in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she is officially your girlfriend.

11. It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you are sunning on a tropical beach and it is delivered by a topless model and only when it is free.

12. Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.

13. Unless you are in prison, never fight naked.

14. Friends do not let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

15. If a man's fly is down, that is his problem. You did not see anything.

16. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

17. A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

18. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that is just greedy.

19. If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you had better be talking about his choice of beer.

20. Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she is withholding sex pending your response.

21. Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights:

26. There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever.

27. We have all heard about people having guts or balls. However, do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below:

a) "GUTS" is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, "Are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"

b) "BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You are next!"

I hope this clears up any confusion,

Well, folks, here's our hawkman back again. Thanks, Boston Bob, for the celeb's background, and allowing us ladies to know the "Man Laws" in advance. Don't think that we would have any problem coming up with a set of our own. <smile>

Hope our pretty pup makes it today, because we all need that face to name thing.

What a surprise to find that I know a certain song by Jeff Beck. Often we don't give the proper credit to a composer, but simply bathe in the lyrics and melody; however, listeners, I like this version of Jeff Beck's "Morning Dew" much better.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

I thought I heard a baby cry this morning,
I thought I heard a baby cry today.
You didn't hear no baby cry this morning,
You didn't hear no baby cry today.

Where have all the people gone my honey,
Where have all the people gone today.
There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people,
You never see those people anyway.

I thought I heard a young man born this morning,
I thought I heard a young man born today,
I thought I heard a young man born this morning,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I guess it doesn't really matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
Guess it doesn't matter anyway
