Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.
edgar, your Saki song from Tibet was wonderful. Reminded me of a writer whose nom de plume was Saki aka H.H. Munroe. What great short stories he wrote, and nothing was sacred to him. Particularly recall "The Story Teller." Also liked Faron Young and his "Hello Walls". Thanks, Texas.
Rock, you know, of course, how much I like James Taylor. I had no idea he wrote that song while in Spain. Creative folks seem to be the most vulnerable. We can go places in our mind, no?
Hey, hawkman. I checked out your info on Victory at Sea and found this:
No Other Love" is a show tune from the 1953 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Me and Juliet.
Richard Rodgers originally composed this tune (with the title "Beneath the Southern Cross") for the television series Victory at Sea (1952..1953). When Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II collaborated on Me and Juliet, Rodgers took his old melody and set it to new words by Hammerstein, producing the song "No Other Love." It should not be confused with "No Other Love", a song of 1950. The melody for that song was taken from Étude in E major, Op. 10, No. 3 by Fryderyk Chopin.
Perry Como recorded the song on May 19, 1953, and it was released by RCA Victor as a 78rpm recording (catalog number 20-5317-A) and a 45rpm recording (catalog number 47-5317-A) in 1953, with the B-side "Keep It Gay." It was subsequently released on several other singles and an EP album. The record reached #1 on the Billboard and Cash Box charts in 1953.
In 1956, the song was recorded by the United Kingdom artist Ronnie Hilton, reaching #1 on the UK Singles Chart.
Love it when we have to learn stuff here on our cyber radio.
How about a little early morning jazz, folks.

Shades of Lionel Hampton. They are good and mellow.
Well, I brought in the late Jim Reeves' recording of Welcome to My World. His was a truly mellow sound, also.

Thanks for Perry and Jo. I've been a fan of both since childhood.
Hey, Raggedy. I think we have already agreed on that, puppy. Did I miss something?
edgar, here is one of my favorite Jim Reeves song.

Thanks for Jim Reeves, Edgar. Love his voice.
Oh Letty, I know an agreement was reached. I just thought you'd like to hear the
words to
Chopin and the
melody to
Perry's song. And they're both so nice, I thought they'd be worth listening to again. Sorry if I intruded upon the agreement.
UhOh, Raggedy. I misunderstood. Yes, puppy, I love both Jo and Perry, of course.
How about another by Jo. (Bud said that her intonation was perfect) Homer and Jethro did a great spoof on this one as well.

Peter Lorre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born László Löwenstein
June 26, 1904(1904-06-26)
Rózsahegy, Austria-Hungary (now Slovakia)
Died March 23, 1964 (aged 59)
Los Angeles, California
Spouse(s) Celia Lovsky (1934-1945)
Kaaren Verne (1945-1950)
Annemarie Brenning (1953-1964) 1 child
Peter Lorre (June 26, 1904 - March 23, 1964), born László Löwenstein, was a Hungarian[1] - Austrian - American actor frequently typecast as a sinister foreigner.
He made an international sensation in 1931 with his portrayal of a serial killer who preys on little girls in the German film M. Later he became a popular featured player in Hollywood crime films and mysteries, notably alongside Humphrey Bogart and Sydney Greenstreet, and as the star of the successful Mr. Moto detective series.
Biography
Lorre was born into a Jewish family in Rózsahegy/Rosenberg, Kingdom of Hungary, part of Austria-Hungary, now Ruomberok, Slovakia. When he was a child his family moved to Vienna where Lorre attended school. He began acting on stage in Vienna where he worked with Richard Teschner, then moved to Breslau, and Zürich. In the late 1920s the young 5' 5" (1.65 m) actor moved to Berlin where he worked with German playwright Bertolt Brecht, most notably in his Mann ist Mann. He also appeared as Dr. Nakamura in the infamous musical Happy End by Brecht and composer Kurt Weill, alongside Brecht's wife Helene Weigel and other impressive co-stars such as Carola Neher, Oskar Homolka, and Kurt Gerron. The German-speaking actor became famous when Fritz Lang cast him as a child killer in his 1931 film M.
When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, Lorre took refuge first in Paris and then London where he played a charming villain in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934). When he arrived in Great Britain, his first meeting was with Hitchcock and by smiling and laughing as Hitchcock talked, Lorre was able to bluff the director about his limited command of the English language. During the filming of The Man Who Knew Too Much, Lorre learned much of his part phonetically.
Eventually, he went to Hollywood where he specialized in playing wicked or wily foreigners, beginning with Mad Love (1935), directed by Karl Freund. He starred in a series of Mr. Moto movies, a parallel to the better known Charlie Chan series, in which he played a Japanese detective and spy created by John P. Marquand. He did not much enjoy these films -- and twisted his shoulder during a stunt in Mr. Moto Takes a Vacation -- but they were lucrative for the studio and gained Lorre many new fans. In 1939, Peter was picked to play the role that would eventually go to Basil Rathbone in Son of Frankenstein. Lorre had to decline the role due to illness.
In 1940, Lorre co-starred with fellow horror actors Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in the Kay Kyser movie You'll Find Out. Lorre enjoyed considerable popularity as a featured player in Warner Bros. suspense and adventure films. Lorre played the role of Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon (1941) and portrayed the character Ugarte in the film classic Casablanca (1942). It was Lorre's character who introduced the "letters of transit" (there was no such thing in reality) which became, in some ways, the dramatic center of the film.
Lorre played Dr. Einstein in Arsenic and Old Lace (filmed in 1941, released 1944). In 1946 he starred with Sydney Greenstreet and Geraldine Fitzgerald in Three Strangers, a suspense film about three people who are joint partners on a winning lottery ticket.
In 1941, Peter Lorre became a naturalized citizen of the United States.
After World War II, Lorre's acting career in Hollywood experienced a downturn, whereupon he concentrated on radio and stage work. In Germany he co-wrote, directed and starred in Der Verlorene (The Lost One) (1951), a critically acclaimed art film in the film noir style. He then returned to the United States where he appeared as a character actor in television and feature films, often spoofing his former "creepy" image. In 1954, he had the distinction of becoming the first actor to play a James Bond villain when he portrayed Le Chiffre in a television adaptation of Casino Royale, opposite Barry Nelson as an American James Bond. (In the spoof-film version of Casino Royale, Ronnie Corbett comments that SPECTRE includes among its agents not only Le Chiffre, but also "Peter Lorre and Bela Lugosi.") Also in 1954, Lorre starred alongside Kirk Douglas and James Mason in the hit-classic 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. In the early 1960s he worked with Roger Corman on several low-budgeted, tongue-in-cheek, and very popular films.
Marriages
He was married three times: Celia Lovsky (1934 - 13 March 1945) (divorced); Kaaren Verne (25 May 1945 - 1950) (divorced) and Annemarie Brenning (21 July 1953 - 23 March 1964) (his death). Annemarie bore his only child, a daughter, Catharine, in 1953. Catharine probably was the only person to survive an intended assault by the Hillside Stranglers. She was stopped by the Stranglers, Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, imitating policemen. When they found out she was Lorre's daughter, they let her go. She didn't realize that they were killers until after they were caught. She died in 2006 from the diabetes she'd been born with. In the 1970s an actor appeared on the scene billing himself as "Peter Lorre, Jr.," but he was in fact no relation, merely someone trading in on the fact that he slightly resembled the actor.
Death
Overweight and never fully recovered from his addiction to morphine, Lorre suffered many personal and career disappointments in his later years. When he died in 1964 of a stroke he was 59 years old. Lorre's body was cremated and his ashes interred at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood. Vincent Price read the eulogy at his funeral.
Legacy
Lorre has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 6619 Hollywood Boulevard.
It is noted on the album sleeve of The World/Inferno Friendship Society album 'Addicted to Bad Ideas' that it was 'inspired by the novel Pandaemonium by Leslie Epstein and greatly informed by the biography 'The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre' by Stephen D. Youngkin'. Subtitled "Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century", the release is a concept album inspired by the life and films of Lorre. The song titles "'M' is for Morphine" and "With a Good Criminal Heart", along with the album's cover art, are all references to M, one of Lorre's most significant films. In addition, the album's lyrics are often taken from movie dialogue, notable Lorre quotes, and from the biography The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre by Stephen D. Youngkin.
Imitating Lorre
Lorre's distinctive Viennese-meets Middle American accent and large-eyed face has been a favorite target of comedians and cartoonists, to the point where Lorre has become far more familiar with the public in caricature form than for his actual performances.
Books and comics
In the early 1940s, the adventures of Batman and Robin appeared in daily newspapers. One story, The Two-Bit Dictator of Twin Mills, drawn by Batman co-creator Bob Kane, featured a hitman called Jojo who was, according to writer Al Schwartz, made to look like Lorre [2]. Jojo is a highly skilled gunman who, whatever the distance or the circumstances, always hits his target. A mildly eccentric character, he refers to his hits (objects or people) as "flinks". Even Batman, who is used to taking on armed men, hesitates in dealing with this particular gunman head-on or face-to-face. A later story was The Karen Drew Mystery, written by Jack Schiff and drawn by Jack Burnley. This one featured villains drawn to resemble Lorre's occasional co-stars: Sydney Greenstreet as gang leader Mr Wright and Humphrey Bogart as his henchman Merry.
A Lorre-like character (with strong admixtures of Max Schreck) is the focus of Brock Brower's novel The Late, Great, Creature.
Science-fiction writer Howard Waldrop wrote a short story entitled "The Effects of Alienation" which includes Peter Lorre as the main character.
Animated series
Most persons doing impressions of Lorre's voice are actually imitating Warner Brothers' Mel Blanc doing his Lorre impression[not specific enough to verify] (Blanc is much broader and louder than Lorre generally was, and the cartoons are seen much more often than Lorre's actual work. The most obvious being the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Racketeer Rabbit"). This can be noticed in characters such as:
Ren from Ren and Stimpy,
Morocco Mole from Secret Squirrel,
The tuxedoed 'Lost Soul' in an episode of The Simpsons entitled Homer Simpson in: "Kidney Trouble"
Surface Agent X20 from Stingray, and
Digitamamon from Digimon
In the episode "The Tick vs. Chairface Chippendale" from The Tick animated series, one of the villains attending Chairface's birthday party is "The Man Who Looks Like Peter Lorre."
A Peter Lorre character, named Nero, was also featured in the Darkwing Duck episode "Fungus Amongus."
In Transformers, Cosmos' voice actor Michael McConnohie spoke with a heavily-processed impression of Peter Lorre.
Doctor Beakman from the Sitting Ducks episode "Midnight Snack".
Doctor Scratchensniff imitates Lorre in what yakko calls "the worst Peter Lorre I've ever heard" in This Pun For Hire
Films, television, music and video games
A 1942 Warner Brothers, Merrie Melodies cartoon adaptation of Dr. Seuss' Horton Hatches the Egg includes a fish caricature of Peter Lorre who shoots himself in the head after seeing Horton on the boat (this gag has been edited out on most television channels, particularly Cartoon Network, TBS, and TNT),
A 1967 episode of the sitcom Get Smart, "Maxwell Smart, Private Eye", features an extended parody of The Maltese Falcon, with actors Barry Kroeger and Phil Roth portraying two men named Mr. Sidney and Mr. Peter who strongly resemble Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Just to make things slightly more complicated, the Peter Lorre imitator (played by Roth) is the one named Mr. Sidney, and the Greenstreet imitator is Mr. Peter.
The stop motion film Mad Monster Party?, made in 1969, featured a zombie manservant called Yetch who was made to look and sound like Lorre. Yetch was voiced by Allen Swift. Lorre's fellow horror star Boris Karloff provided the voice of Baron Frankenstein.
Singer-songwriter Al Stewart immortalized the actor, and his close association with Bogart, in the opening lines of his 1976 hit, "The Year Of The Cat": "In the morning from a Bogart movie/In a country where they turn back time/You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre/Contemplating a crime..."
Musician and Filker Tom Smith won a Pegasus award for Best Classic Filk Song in 2006 entitled "I Want to be Peter Lorre".
In the 1987 animated film The Brave Little Toaster, a character Hanging Lamp bears a strong resemblance, both physically and audibly, to Lorre.
The title song to the 1981 Jon & Vangelis release "The Friends of Mr. Cairo" includes spoken dialogue that imitates the distinctive voice of Peter Lorre as well as that of his frequent costar Sidney Greenstreet.
The script for Godspell includes a line which is suggested as being done in the style of Peter Lorre. Also, Rob Schneider ably played Lorre's character in the Saturday Night Live sketch "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
The stop motion film Corpse Bride features "The Maggot", a small green worm who lives inside the title's character head. His features and voice (provided by Enn Reitel) are caricatures of Peter Lorre.
On September 11, 2007 Brooklyn-based punk band The World/Inferno Friendship Society released a full-length album about Peter Lorre called Addicted to Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century on the Chunksaah Records label. The lyrics trace Lorre's film career, drug addiction, and death. It has been performed at the world-famous Spiegeltent.
Even today, films and video games show his distinct characteristics in some characters. These include:
Arnold Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark
A routine Robin Williams' genie character did in Disney's Aladdin
Doctor N. Gin from the Crash Bandicoot series of video games
The 2005 video game Destroy All Humans! features aliens that look similar to Lorre. During gameplay, some humans will shout, "Help! We're being invaded by Peter Lorre!"
Spike Jones utilized cartoon voice-over actor Paul Frees to perform an imitation of Peter Lorre singing a macabre version "My Old Flame".
A mad scientist in Looney Tunes episode "Birth of a Notion" in which the caricatured Lorre pursues Daffy Duck in need of his wishbone.
He also appears caricatured as a mad scientist in Looney Tunes' "Hair-Raising Hare" in which he is the creator of Gossamer.
An unnamed mad scientist who looks and acts identical to Peter Lorre also appears in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
The Chief Thief in the game Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, not only looks and sounds like Peter Lorre, but was also named Lorre Petrovich, in reference to the actor. The Chief's nephew appears in Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire and Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire, has a similar appearance and voice, and is named Ugarte after Lorre's character in Casablanca.
The character dubbed "Cobra man" in Woody Allen's "What's Up Tiger Lily?," a comically rewritten and dubbed version of the Japanese spy film "Key of Keys," has a voice that is a direct impersonation of Lorre's, to the point where he eventually utters the line, "This Peter Lorre impression is killing my throat."
In the 1966 film A Thousand Clowns, Barry Gordon's character, Nick, does a humorous imitation of Lorre.

Eleanor Jean Parker (born June 26, 1922) is an American film and television actress.
Biography
Early life
Parker was born in Cedarville, Ohio, and was signed by Warner Brothers in 1941, at the age of 19. She would have debuted that year in the film They Died with Their Boots On, but her scenes were cut.
Career
By 1946, she had starred in Between Two Worlds, Hollywood Canteen, Pride of the Marines and Of Human Bondage. In 1950 she received the first of three nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress, for Caged, in which she played a prison inmate. She was also nominated in 1951 for her performance as Kirk Douglas's wife in Detective Story and again in 1955 for her portrayal of opera singer Marjorie Lawrence in the biopic Interrupted Melody. Parker was overlooked for her superb role opposite Charlton Heston as a circa 1900 mail-order bride in George Pal's jungle fantasy film about attacking killer ants, The Naked Jungle.
That same year, Parker appeared in the film adaptation of the National Book Award-winner The Man With The Golden Arm, in which she plays Zosh, the invalid sister of a morphine addict played by Frank Sinatra, and directed by Otto Preminger. In 1956, she was billed above the title alongside Clark Gable for the Raoul Walsh-directed western comedy The King and Four Queens. A year later, she starred in another W. Somerset Maugham novel, a remake of a The Painted Veil in the role originated by Greta Garbo, released as The Seventh Sin. She also appeared in Home from the Hill and Return to Peyton Place. Possibly her most famous screen role was Baroness Elsa Schraeder in 1965's The Sound Of Music.
She broke the champagne bottle on the nose of the inaugural train-set for the California Zephyr in San Francisco, California on March 19, 1949. Parker was famous in Hollywood during the Golden Era, but she is less remembered now despite numerous movies and Oscar nominations. She played an erotically charged drunken, mature widow in Warning Shot in 1966 where she demonstrated both elegance and sex appeal. She played a sultry spy in How to Steal the World in 1968 -- this over-the-top espionage film was originally shown as a two-part episode on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. television series. In 1969-70 she starred in the television series Bracken's World and several made-for-television movies.
Parker has also starred in a number of theatrical productions, including the musical Applause. She is the mother of actor Paul Clemens, as well as three other children by another marriage. She wrote the preface to the book "How Your Mind Can Keep You Well", a meditation techniquedeveloped by Roy Masters.

Chris O'Donnell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born Christopher Eugene O'Donnell
June 26, 1970 (1970-06-26) (age 38)
Winnetka, Illinois, United States
Spouse(s) Caroline Fentress
(1997-present)
5 children
Christopher Eugene O'Donnell (born June 26, 1970) is a Golden Globe-nominated American actor, perhaps best known for playing Robin in the Batman films, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, Charlie Simms in Scent of a Woman, Finn Dandridge in Grey's Anatomy, and more recently, Jack McCauliffe in The Company.
Biography
Early life
O'Donnell, the youngest of seven children (with four sisters and two brothers), was born in Winnetka, Illinois, the son of Julie, a realtor, and William O'Donnell, Sr., a radio manager.[1] O'Donnell is of paternal Irish and maternal German descent;[2][3] he was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools,[4] including Loyola Academy in Willmette, Illinois for high school, graduating in 1988. O'Donnell attended Boston College and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in marketing. He subsequently attended law school at UCLA but did not graduate.
From the ages of thirteen to sixteen, O'Donnell began modeling, and was featured in several commercials.
Career
O'Donnell was discovered when he was cast in a McDonald's commercial, in which he served Michael Jordan. His first television role was an appearance on the series Jack and Mike in 1986. At the age of seventeen, he was offered a chance to audition for a part in the movie Men Don't Leave, with Jessica Lange, and he won the role. In the early 1990s, O'Donnell was a featured player in many successful movies such as Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), School Ties (1992), and Scent of a Woman (1992) with Al Pacino. He was named one of the twelve Promising New Actors of 1992 in John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 44.
Chris O'Donnell as Robin in Batman Forever.After the success of Circle of Friends (1995), O'Donnell played Robin in Batman Forever. He reportedly was part of a field of candidates that included Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Christian Bale (who later went on to play the Dark Knight himself), Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Toby Stephens, and Scott Speedman. Producers narrowed their choices to DiCaprio and O'Donnell. At a comic book convention, they asked a group of eleven year-old boys, the target audience, which actor could win a fistfight. After the boys overwhelmingly declared O'Donnell the winner, he was ultimately given the role. By coincidence, O'Donnell was said to be 20th Century Fox's favorite choice to play Jack Dawson in Titanic, but DiCaprio ended up with the role.
O'Donnell followed with a starring role in 1996's The Chamber, based on the John Grisham novel. He subsequently appeared in the Batman sequel, Batman & Robin, in 1997. Critically panned, the movie turned out to be a box office failure. He was considered for the lead role in Spider-Man, when the project was in development with James Cameron directing in 1996. Tobey Maguire was ultimately cast.
O'Donnell did not appear in another movie for two years. He was the producers' original choice for the role of James Edwards in Men in Black (1997), but, after he turned it down, the role went to Will Smith.[5] The Robert Altman film Cookie's Fortune, The Bachelor (1999) and Vertical Limit (2000) were only moderately successful. Following Vertical Limit, a four-year hiatus led some to believe Batman & Robin had damaged his career as it had co-star Alicia Silverstone. He came back in 2004 with the widely praised Kinsey.
O'Donnell took a lead role in the Fox Network television series Head Cases in 2005. The show was the first show of the fall 2005 season to be canceled, and only two episodes were aired. He was subsequently cast as veterinarian Finn Dandridge on the popular ABC drama Grey's Anatomy.
Most recently, he has figured prominently in the acclaimed TNT miniseries The Company as fictional CIA agent Jack McCauliffe in a performance which subtly portrayed his character's progression from spoon-fed Yale elitist to jaded, post-Cold War cynic.
Personal life
In 1996, O'Donnell proposed to his girlfriend Caroline Fentress. He met her while in college; they married in 1997.
The couple have five children, three sons and two daughters: Lily Anne O'Donnell (b. September 1999), Christopher Eugene O'Donnell Jr (b. October 24, 2000), Charles McHugh O'Donnell (b. July 11, 2003), Finley O'Donnell (b. March 24, 2006), and Maeve Frances O'Donnell (b. December 10, 2007 in Los Angeles).[6]
O'Donnell is an avid golfer. He participated in a golf outing to help raise money for the Motion Picture and Television Fund, for which they raised $500,000 in the year 2000.
At a grocery store
A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her basket. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her, "No." The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through - don't be upset. It won't be long now."
Soon, they came to the candy aisle and the little girl began to shout for candy. When told she couldn't have any, she began to cry. The mother said, "There, there, Monica, don't cry - only two more aisles to go and then we'll be checking out."
When they got to the checkout stand, the little girl immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there'd be no gum purchased. The mother said serenely, "Monica, we'll be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap."
The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the woman to compliment her. "I couldn't help noticing how patient you were with little Monica," he began.
The mother replied, "I'm Monica - my little girl's name is Tammy."

For Peter Lorre, here is My Old Flame, by Spike Jones
Jo Stafford, Brooklyn Bridge, Marilyn McCoo - Thanks evabody.
Hey, hawkman. Thanks once again for the great bio's, and your funny little story reminds us that although "The child is father of the man", the child can also be mother of the mamma.
Ragman, I like "The Worst That Could Happen" a wee bit better than "Sixteen Candles". Thank you, Ma.
edgar, Spike Jones did Peter Lorre better than he did himself. Thanks for the funny, Texas. Loved it!
To compliment Ragman's song, let's hear a wonderful selection from The Fifth Dimension, ok?
