Good morning here in Florida, WA2K folks.
edgar, was I surprised to find out that Marlene did Blowing in the Wind,(I remember her best in Witness for the Prosecution) and Barbara Mason's Yes, I'm Ready was a new one to me. Thanks for the introduction.
Hey, Brit. Loved The Fifth Dimension's Up Up and Away, and The Trap was great. I am assuming that one was the song for the marathon.
Today is Olivia Hussey's birthday, and I think that most of us remember her for the movie Romeo and Juliet.
First, a brief trailer, then a soliloquy explaining my reference to "The County Paris." Also, a brief bit of info on the lady.

Olivia was born Olivia Osuna in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the daughter of Joy Alma Hussey, an English legal secretary, and Andrés Osuna (aka Osvaldo Ribó), an Argentine tango singer who divorced when Olivia was two. She was brought up Catholic, and when she was seven years old, Hussey and her younger brother went with their mother to live in London where she attended the Italia Conti Academy drama school for five years.
soliloquy:
ROMEO
In faith, I will. Let me peruse this face.
Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris!
What said my man, when my betossed soul
Did not attend him as we rode? I think
He told me Paris should have married Juliet:
Said he not so? or did I dream it so?
Or am I mad, hearing him talk of Juliet,
To think it was so? O, give me thy hand,
One writ with me in sour misfortune's book!
I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave;
A grave? O no! a lantern, slaughter'd youth,
For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes
This vault a feasting presence full of light.
Death, lie thou there, by a dead man interr'd.
