This was number one in '72 listeners. I honestly don't remember hearing it, but it's by Nilsson:

(aside to the PD: Mr. T was Mr. James Taylor Smile)

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
Can't live, I can't give anymore
(Living is without you)

I'm Alive
************
I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive - and the dawn breaks across the sky
I'm alive - and the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world (far away), never another word (till today)
But what can I say? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

(Instrumental break)

Suddenly came the dawn (from the night), suddenly I was born (into light)
How can it be real? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

(Instrumental break)

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

and a bright good morning to you who is tryin' his wings. Lovely song, buddy and thank you for your greeting.

AHA! Mr. Turtle. THAT Mr. T, I thought perhaps it was you or some black dude who used to wear gold.<smile>

It's nice to see our shari back and staying alive, listeners.

I have nagging memory loss about the movie that I watched in which Toni Braxton sang. Perhaps someone can remember for me.

and, folks, here's a delightful memory song:

A #1 Country hit in 2004, it also reached #69 on the Top 40 charts
A classic First Dance song at weddings, or Anniversary dance song



Remember when, I was young and so were you
And time stood still, and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when, the sound of little feet was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed old
Now lookin' back, it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are, where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when, we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when
Remember when
Remember when

Rex Harrison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Reginald Carey "Rex" Harrison (March 5, 1908 - June 2, 1990) was a British theatre and film actor.

Harrison was born in Huyton on Merseyside and was educated at Liverpool College. He first appeared on the stage in 1924 in Liverpool. He acted in various stage productions until 11 May 1990. He acted in the West End of London when he was young, appearing in the Terence Rattigan play French Without Tears, which proved to be his breakthrough role.

He continued to appear in London, in George Bernard Shaw's Heartbreak House, Pirandello's Henry IV, and in 1984 he appeared at the Haymarket Theatre with Claudette Colbert in Frederick Lonsdale's Aren't We All?. He again appeared at the Haymarket in J. M. Barrie's The Admirable Crichton with Edward Fox.

Harrison was best known for his portrayal of Professor Henry Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady, based on the George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion, especially after he reprised the role in the 1964 film version, for which he won an Best Actor Oscar. This was a revival of the highly acclaimed 1956 Broadway play, in which Harrison appeared with the young Julie Andrews, and for which he won his second Tony Award for the Best Actor. He revived the role on stage in the early 1980s. He also starred in 1967's Doctor Dolittle. Harrison could not sing, and so the music in both these musicals had to be carefully written. Harrison "spoke" the words to the music, and it sounded, more or less, like singing. Although Harrison's acting was often described as limited, he attracted favourable notices for his portrayal of Julius Caesar in Cleopatra (1963) and as Pope Julius II in The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965), opposite Charlton Heston as Michelangelo.

Harrison was married six times. In 1942 he divorced his first wife, Colette Thomas, and married actress Lilli Palmer the next year; the two later appeared in numerous plays and films. After several years in film, he achieved wide acclaim starring in the adaptation of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit (1945). He followed that with his first major American film, starring as King Mongkut in Anna and the King of Siam.

Harrison's affair with young actress Carole Landis, which is suspected to have played some part in her suicide, caused a scandal but failed to derail his career. Harrison and Palmer divorced in 1957. He soon remarried, to actress Kay Kendall. According to Palmer, Harrison requested a divorce to marry Kendall because he knew that she was dying from leukaemia. After Kendall's untimely death, it was rumoured that he tried unsuccessfully to reconcile with Lilli. He was later married to Welsh-born Rachel Roberts, who later, like Landis, committed suicide by taking sleeping pills; to Elizabeth Rees-Williams (the first wife of Irish actor Richard Harris); and to Mercia Tinker, who would become his widow in 1990.

The chronology of Harrison's six marriages is as follows:

* Colette Thomas (1934-1942), (one son, the actor/singer Noel Harrison)
* Lilli Palmer (1943-1957), (one son, the novelist/playwright Carey Harrison)
* Kay Kendall (1957-1959)
* Rachel Roberts (1962-1971)
* Elizabeth Harris (1971-1975), (three stepsons, Damian Harris, Jared Harris and Jamie Harris)
* Mercia Tinker (1978-1990)

On 25 July 1989, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, while an orchestra played the music of songs from My Fair Lady.

Having retired from films in the late 1970s, he had continued to act on Broadway until the very end, despite suffering from glaucoma, painful teeth and a failing memory. In 1990 he was appearing on Broadway in The Circle by W. Somerset Maugham, opposite Glynis Johns, when he fell ill. It was discovered that he had pancreatic cancer but had been unaware of it, and he died peacefully three weeks later in New York City at the age of 82, causing the show to end prematurely.

For his contribution to motion pictures, Rex Harrison has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6906 Hollywood Boulevard. and for his contribution to the television industry at 6380 Hollywood Boulevard.

Trivia

The effete English accented-voice of Stewie Griffin, the evil baby character in the animated TV show Family Guy, was partially based on Sir Rex's voice.

He was the spokesman for the Dodge Aspen.

He was blind in one eye as the result of a childhood illness.

In episode #9F13 of The Simpsons, "I Love Lisa," the class actor, a dramatist with a slight British accent, is named "Rex," a reference to Rex Harrison.

Why can't the English? My fair lady

Henry
Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
Condemned by every syllable she ever uttered.
By law she should be taken out and hung,
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.

Eliza
Aaoooww!

Henry imitating her
Aaoooww!
Heaven's! What a noise!
This is what the British population,
Calls an elementary education.

Pickering
Oh, Counsel, I think you picked a poor example.

Henry
Did I?
Hear them down in Soho square,
Dropping "h's" everywhere.
Speaking English anyway they like.
You sir, did you go to school?

Man
Wadaya tike me for, a fool?

Henry
No one taught him ?'take' instead of ?'tike!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now,
Should be antique.
If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too!
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse,
Hear a Cornishman converse,
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.
Chickens cackling in a barn
Just like this one!

Eliza
Garn!

Henry
I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?
It's "Aoooow" and "Garn" that keep her in her place.
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction by now should be antique.
If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too.
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him,
The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him.
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.
Oh, why can't the English learn to set
A good example to people whose English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely disappears.
In America, they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their Greek.
In France every Frenchman knows his language fro "A" to "Zed"
The French never care what they do, actually, as long as they pronounce
in properly.
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning.
And Hebrews learn it backwards, which is absolutely frightening.
But use proper English you're regarded as a freak.
Why can't the English,
Why can't the English learn to speak?

Dean Stockwell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Dean Stockwell (born March 5, 1936 in North Hollywood, California) is an American actor who is best-known for his role as Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci in the American TV series Quantum Leap.

Film career

Born Robert Dean Stockwell, he began his acting career at age seven. One of his notable child roles was as the 11-year-old son of Gregory Peck in Gentleman's Agreement (1947). He also starred in the lead role of a very enlightening and entertaining film "The Boy With Green Hair" in 1948. Unlike many child actors, he continued to act past his teenage years.

In 1959, Stockwell appeared in the film Compulsion, based on the famous case of Leopold and Loeb (with characters names changed to "Steiner and Strauss"), playing Judd Steiner. Compulsion also starred Orson Welles as the Clarence Darrow-based lawyer Jonathan Wilk.

In 1984 he appeared in Wim Wender's critically acclaimed film Paris, Texas. In 1986, Stockwell appeared in the David Lynch cult classic, Blue Velvet. In 1988 he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Mafia boss Tony "the Tiger" Russo in the comedy Married to the Mob.


Television roles

Stockwell's performance as Tony inspired producer Donald Bellisario to cast him in what would arguably become his best-known role, as Admiral Albert Calivicci ("Al") in the American TV series Quantum Leap, which aired between 1989 and 1993. He also appeared as a guest star on an episode Star Trek: Enterprise with former co-star of Quantum Leap, Scott Bakula. Bellisario also cast Stockwell as Senator Edward Sheffield in First Monday and JAG in 2002; his role would continue as Secretary of the Navy Edward Sheffield from late 2002 until JAG's cancellation in 2005.


Personal life

In 1960 he married actress Millie Perkins but they divorced two years later.

Stockwell is an accomplished artist. He creates both digitally enhanced photographs and original collages in the style of his friend and fellow artist, Wallace Berman. He is also a friend of musician Neil Young and designed the album cover art for American Stars'n'Bars. Together they would direct Human Highway, which Stockwell wrote.

Stockwell is an avid golfer and would play golf during breaks in filming episodes of Quantum Leap.

Andy Gibb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born
March 5, 1958
Manchester, England
Died
March 10, 1988
Oxford, England

Andy Gibb (March 5, 1958 - March 10, 1988) was an Anglo-Australian singer and teen idol, and the younger brother of Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, also known as the Bee Gees.


Early Biography

He was born Andrew Roy Gibb in Manchester, England, to Hugh and Barbara Gibb. His family emigrated to Australia within months of his birth, settling in Redcliffe, Queensland near Brisbane. Gibb began playing at tourist clubs around Spain's coastal Island of Ibiza, and later the Isle of Man, as a young teenager. The idea of his joining the Bee Gees was often mooted, but the age gap between him and his elder brothers (more than 11 years younger than Barry, slightly more than eight years younger than twins Robin and Maurice) made this difficult to achieve. Instead, he embarked on a successful solo career. After returning to Australia in 1975 to hone his craft as a singer and songwriter, Gibb began recording a series of his own compositions, one of which was released as a single on the ATA label, owned by veteran Australian performer, Col Joye. "Words and Music" would eventually reach Top Five on the Sydney music charts in 1976. This breakout would pave the way to an even greater milestone later that year ?- an invitation from Robert Stigwood (who, at the time, was also the Bee Gees' manager) to launch his international career signed to his label, RSO Records. Gibb soon moved to Miami Beach to begin working on songs with his brother Barry, and co-producers Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson.

Prior to leaving Australia, Gibb had married his girlfriend, Kim Reeder. They had one child, a daughter named Peta, before their marriage ended in 1978, his work and family commitments having come between them. Notwithstanding, Gibb's personal trials were soon overshadowed by fame and recognition.


Andy's Rise To The Top

In the United States, Gibb became the first male solo artist to chart three consecutive Number One singles on the Billboard Hot 100. In July of 1977, he had his first major hit, "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", a song written by his brother Barry, just as his first album Flowing Rivers broke into the US Top 20, on its way to selling over a million copies. The album's second single "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" broke in early 1978 amidst the commercial explosion caused by his brothers' contributions to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, replacing "Stayin' Alive" at the top of the US charts, and then submitting to "Night Fever" when it reached the summit in mid-March.

Continuing the momentum of his first successes, Gibb began work with the Gibb-Galuten-Richardson production team on his second album Shadow Dancing. The title track, written by all four Gibb brothers, was released as a single in the US in April 1978, and in mid-June began a seven week run at Number One, achieving platinum status. Two further Top Ten singles, "An Everlasting Love" and "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" were extracted from the album, which became another million seller. Despite his impressive accomplishments, the pressures and excesses of such rapid success began to consume Gibb, and eventually he would succumb to drug addiction and the reality of a career in decline.

In 1979, Gibb, along with the Bee Gees, performed at the Music for UNICEF Concert at the United Nations General Assembly, broadcast worldwide. He returned to the studio to begin recording sessions for his final full studio album, After Dark. With drugs impeding his previous ability to write and even fully sing the tracks on his own record, Gibb was only able to forge his performance with nearly intrusive support from brother Barry. In March of 1980 the last of Gibb's Top Ten singles charted just ahead of the album's release. "Desire", was recorded for the Bee Gees' 1979 album Spirits Having Flown, and featured their original track with Gibb's lead vocal dubbed in. A second single, "I Can't Help It", a duet with family friend Olivia Newton-John, which they had performed at the UN, reached the Top Twenty; they donated the royalties to UNICEF. Later in the year, Andy Gibb's Greatest Hits was released as a finale to his contract with RSO Records, with two new songs: "Time Is Time" (number 15 in January 1981) and "Me (Without You)" (Gibb's last Top Forty chart entry) shipped as singles.


Career Stall Out

A well publicised affair with actress Victoria Principal ensued, while Gibb signed to several projects outside of the recording studio, including acclaimed performances in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on Broadway, The Pirates of Penzance in Los Angeles, and a short-term stint as co-host of a TV's Solid Gold. However, as Gibb's drug use intensified, he was unable to commit to regular performances and tapings, and was eventually removed from each of these endeavours. His romance with Principal also ended a short time later, but not before recording and releasing a vanity duet of the Everly Brothers' classic "All I Have To Do Is Dream". This would be Gibb's last official single, and his last US chart entry, peaking at number 51.

After seeking treatment for his drug addiction at the Betty Ford Clinic in the mid-1980s, Gibb toured small venues with a stage show of his greatest hits and covers, and appeared in guest-starring roles on several television situation comedies and game shows. Although his performances were well-received, they failed to return him to the height of his past successes. In 1987, with his debts far outweighing his income, Gibb was forced to declare bankruptcy.

Determined to revive his recording career, Gibb returned to work alongside brothers Barry and Maurice. They produced a series of demo recordings, which would eventually secure him a contract with the UK branch of Island Records. One of the demos, "Man On Fire", was released posthumously on the 1991 Polydor anthology, Andy Gibb, while another demo, "Arrow Through The Heart", though unreleased to the present day, would be featured on an episode of VH1's series Behind the Music.


The Death Of Andy Gibb

Ironically, "Arrow Through The Heart" included lyrics about death ("I'm too young to die"). He travelled to England to fulfil the label's request for more songs, moving into brother Robin's estate in Oxfordshire. He turned to drinking heavily, and fell ill. On March 7, 1988, Andy was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford complaining of stomach pains. Three days later, on the morning of March 10, 1988, Andy Gibb died at the age 30 of myocarditis ?- a sudden inflammation of the heart muscle caused by a viral infection. While his years of alcohol and cocaine abuse did not directly result in his death, it did aggravate the condition. His body was brought back to Los Angeles, California for interment in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery.

Massachusetts :: Bee Gees



Feel I m goin back to Massachusetts,
Something s telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.

Talk about the life in Massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.

I will remember Massachusetts...

MEDICAL INSURANCE EXPLAINED
(Research done by the AARP Legal Department)

Q. What does HMO stand for?
A. This is actually a variation of the phrase, "HEY MOE." Its roots go
back to a concept pioneered by Moe of the Three Stooges, who discovered that a
patient could be made to forget the pain in his foot if he was poked hard enough in the eye.

Q. I just joined an HMO. How difficult will it be to choose the doctor I want?
A. Just slightly more difficult than choosing your parents. Your insurer will provide
you with a book listing all the doctors in the plan. The doctors basically fall into two
categories: those who are no longer accepting new patients, and those who will see
you but are no longer participating in the plan. But don't worry, the remaining doctor
who is still in the plan and accepting new patients has an office just a
half-day's drive away and a diploma from a third world country.

Q. Do all diagnostic procedures require pre-certification?
A. No. Only those you need.

Q. Can I get coverage for my preexisting conditions?
A. Certainly, as long as they don't require any treatment.

Q. What happens if I want to try alternative forms of medicine?
A. You'll need to find alternative forms of payment.

Q. My pharmacy plan only covers generic drugs, but I need the name brand.
I tried the generic medication, but it gave me a stomach ache. What should I do?
A. Poke yourself in the eye.

Q. What if I'm away from home and I get sick?
A. You really shouldn't do that.

Q. I think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he can handle my problem.
Can a general practitioner really perform a heart transplant right in his/her office?
A. Hard to say, but considering that all you're risking is the $20 co-payment, there's no harm in giving it a shot.

Q. Will health care be different in the next century?
A. No, but if you call right now, you might get an appointment by then.

To Your Good Health (because as you'll see, you'll need it!)

It's The Same Old Song - The Four Tops

You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

A sentimental fool am I
to hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part
That used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Precious memories keep a lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

And in between, folks, there's edgar and Dean. <smile>

Raggedy, That's not the movie, PA. The sum and substance of the plot had to do with a black man who received a stay from the governor right before the final lethal injection. The main character was someone who continued the fight to save him(and did) by finally tracing the young black kid who really killed the girl in the one stop shop place. By appealing to the young black kid's mom, and recognizing the locket said mom was wearing as the one belonging to the victim, they together alerted the governor. The end of the movie is when I first heard Toni Braxton sing "Meanwhile". As is often the case with me, the movie paled in the light of that woman's fantastic voice.

Letty, that movie sounds like "True Crime" with Clint Eastwood. But I don't see any listing for Toni Braxton. All that's listed for that movie is:

Little Drummer Boy"
Written by Katherine Davis, Henry Onorati, Harry Simeone
Performed by Kenny Burrell

"Why Should I Care"
Written by Clint Eastwood, Carole Bayer Sager, Linda Thompson
Performed by Diana Krall

But, that's exactly what happened in "True Crime". Good luck in tracking your song down.

SAGUENAY, Quebec - A 15-year-old girl with a peanut allergy did not die from kissing her boyfriend following his snack of peanut butter, a Quebec coroner said Friday, countering a report that drew international attention last year.



Saguenay coroner Michel Miron said Christina Desforges died from another cause. However, he refused to disclose that, saying he first first wanted to report to the provincial coroner's office as well as examine more test results.

But Miron said he was speaking out now to head off an allergy association from using the case as an example.

"The Canadian Association of Food Allergies intended to use the Desforges case to launch an education campaign," he said. "I had to tell them the cause of death was different than first believed."

Miron wasn't available on Friday to comment further on the circumstances of the teen's death in this small city, about 155 miles north of Quebec City.

Christina Desforges died in a Quebec hospital in November. Reports at the time said doctors were unable to treat her allergic reaction to the kiss the previous weekend.

Miron also said the teen didn't receive a shot of Adrenalin immediately after being kissed. It was reported the shot hadn't penetrated her skin.

He said scientific journals had contacted him questioning the use of Adrenalin shot and how it's injected.

But he said the teen didn't use her syringe to give herself a shot of Adrenalin because she didn't have an allergic reaction to peanut butter.

At least peanut butter is vindicated.
