Ok, so much has been covered. How about you're first show album experience?

Mine was an LP studio recording of MY FAIR LADY on one side combined with THE MUSIC MAN on the other. One of those 3rd string recordings with totally unknown vocalists that my mother bought at the supermarket sometime in the late '50s, I think.

LOL

Our surpassing the Eddie Varley thread has been detected. I checked an one of the posters has challenged them to beat the "smoking" thread. I found that so funny. We weren't generating messages to beat anyone...We just have brains filled with a bounty of trivia and memories...

A question that has been bothering me: Did Buffy's doll,Mrs. Beazley, have glasses????

I bet Cyndi puts on quite a show - I know she went over VERY well when she opened for Cher here.

beacon - that's very funny....the youngsters will NEVER beat the GROWN-UPS! And, remember, it's QUALITY that counts!!

I have a vague memory of glasses on Mrs. Beasley...

Jose - I remember the first Cast Recording that I bought with my own money was HAIR. I had a cabinet full of the classics - which were my parents. But I decided that I needed to have one of my own... The first musical I saw on Broadway was Godspell...which was actually off-broadway...and I bought the Cast Recording of that, as well.

Jose' - first show album was The Sound of Music, OBC. My mother had seen the tour with Florence Henderson as Maria, and ran out and bought the OBC recording.

It might be the champagne - but I'm feeling the need for a *GROUP HUG*

ok - back to memories and stories...

Posted: 8/4/04 at 11:16pm

Yes...we had My Fair Lady...and South Pacific (which I didn't like) "Oliver" one of Porgy and Bess...tons of Disney LPs too...and Tubby the Tuba...Peter and the Wolf...and one of a popular character actor with a very distinctive voice (the name totally escapes me) reading Kiplyings "Just So " stories...loved that.

Did anyone else have Companionbooks that paired classics. The trick was the books were upside down from each other. Example "Little Women" and "Little Men" were back to back but you had to flip the book over to read the other one...I'm not explaining it well. They had Grimms Fairy Tales on one side then Hans Christian Anderson on the other side. Some really wonderful classics...

Do you think there might be limit on the number of posts that one thread can have? Is there a maximum number of pages??

PERISH the thought!

Now I just flashed on the WJM newsroom, with everyone hudled together going for the Kleenex box.

beacon - yes, I had companionbooks!

I also remember my little "Nutshell Library" (by Maurice Sendak) - with such classics as 'Chicken Soup with Rice' and 'Pierre'...

Too funny DG! another great ending to another great sitcom!

Posted: 8/4/04 at 11:20pm

Beacon, I have seen companion books, but never had any.

I LOVED Peter and the Wolf!!!!

And we ended up with many show recordings - but mostly soundtracks. Out in the midwest, you saw a lot more movies than broadway shows

DGrant - an appropriate memory for this thread!

Clinging together as they walked... That was hysterical...

Another fave final episode of mine was Newhart where Bob wakes up in bed not with his wife from the show (character's name escapes me) but with Suzanne Pleshette and he's back as Dr. Bob Hartley and the entire series had been a bad dream after eating Japanese food too late in the evening. The audience reaction when Suzanne pops up as Emily Hartley is priceless. They just go wild!

beacon - it was one of the best ideas on TV, ever!

Posted: 8/4/04 at 11:22pm

beacon you and I are on the same wave length tonight!! I was just thinking of that one. When he asks Suzanne to wear more sweaters... PRICELESS!

The wife's name at the Vermont inn was Joanna.

"Oh, Booooob!"

Early meeting tomorrow. I've GOT to go to bed right now.

Hugs to all--type to you tomorrow.

It seems you folks have been referred to as the "Cats" to Eddie Varley's "A Chorus Line". I personally enjoy reading this thread a lot more, even if I sometimes have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
