Mousetrap: No, and they don't make cartoons like that anymore. THAT's the shame, that they have been replaced with too much reality, violence, and SA children. When I watch a cartoon, I wanna see funny!!

When I was a kid, we had what they called "Kiddie Shows" on Saturday mornings. The theater was filled with kids and they showed a whole bunch of those types of cartoons, along with a feature show geared for kids. Like they had those hokey space movies, and stuff, but they DID show Moby Dick one Saturday. Sometimes we got the good movies too.. Hahaha! Oh! And, the GREATEST movie I saw at the Kiddy Show was Elvis Presley in "Love Me Tender". You talk about drooling pre-teen girls - the floors were slippery when we left that day.

Honest to goodness, I had a boyfriend at that time whose name was Donald Duck - I'm serious now - and his mother was the swimming teacher at my girl scout camp - serious again!!!! Here comes the music part. We made up a verse to Art Mooney's song "Honey Babe" that went like this....follow the bouncing ball...:

Swimming teacher's name is Duck, honey, honey
Swimming teacher's name is Duck, babe, babe
Swimming teacher's name is Duck
You go down, she'll pull you up
Honey, oh baby, mine.

OK, enough biography for now, well almost...but I've written lyrics to other songs in my life, like 101 verses to Mario Deboub's "Wine Wine Wine". That's how I got to know him, he walked into a coffee house across from the University we were supposed to be attending, and heard me singing them. So, he joined in! Haha! Loved the guy, truly.

Eriisa: You know, I think he's one of those people who delights in everything life offers him. He was not only thoroughly enjoying playing that piece, he was enjoying playing that piece with Stephan, and he was enjoying hearing Stephan play the piece as well. But, with him, it shows in every fiber of his being. Do you think it's cultivated, or natural?

They played one of them in the ballroom at the top of Blackpool Tower, not sure if it got replaced with another type lately though.

MAYBE WE SHOULD START A ROUND ON THE MUSIC OF THIS WAR COMPARED AND CONTRASTED (REMEMBER THAT ON HIGH SCHOOL EXAMS?) WITH THE MUSIC OF THAT WAR, AND SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS. BUT, ONE YEAR AFTER THAT WAS FILMED, THE VIET NAM WAR OFFICIALLY ENDED...FOR US ANYWAY.

THANKS, SW2!! I'M GLAD I WAS RIGHT THINKING YOU WOULD LIKE IT TOO. DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S FUN WHEN THE PENCIL IS DRAWING AS THE ACTION IS RUNNING? IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE HOW ARTISTS USE THAT TECHNIQUE. I THOUGHT THIS ONE WAS WELL DONE. THERE IS ANOTHER BENNY GOODMAN SONG ON YOU TUBE I FOUND INTERESTING TOO. TRY THIS ON. THERE ARE FEW WURLITZERS PLAYED IN THEATERS NOW, BUT IT USED TO BE SO COOL WHEN THEY COULD COME UP OUT OF THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN, MUSIC BLARING. THAT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE FOR ME, THE YOUNG KEYBOARDS PUPIL. I THINK IT WAS THOSE EVENTS THAT GOT ME INTERESTED IN PLAYING THE ORGAN AT ALL.

Subject: Talk about a mixed bag

We've had everywhere from Tiny Tim to Duane Allman, and now I'd like to throw in a little of what I've been into the last few weeks, seeing as I'm getting older next week, and more curious about things that have happened in my life time. Swing music fascinates me, it makes you feel good. It was used extensively in cartoons that came out when I was a kid, and to this day I enjoy watching those cartoons, if nothing else just for the music. So, tonight, I was pawing around YouTube, and I found this little Benny Goodman Number. I thought it was fun, and thought you guys might enjoy it too. Give it a try, you might like it.

I CAN'T SAY SHE SOUNDS MUCH LIKE ONE TO ME.... SOUNDS MORE LIKE A
TRANSPLANT FROM NEW JERSEY OR SOMETHING IF YOU ASK ME! LOL!!
BUT I DO LIKE HER VOICE THOUGH!
IS IT JUST ME, OR DO YOU THINK
SHE SOUNDS SIMILAR TO JANIS
JOPLIN TOO? NOT EXACTLY, BUT THE RASPY QUALITY TO HER VOICE I MEAN.
THERE'S A SIMILARITY THERE I THNK!
AND HER TONAL QUALITY SOUND A LOT LIKE A FEMALE SINGER WHOSE NAME I CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER.... WAIT, LET ME THINK.... AH! TIMI YURO!! THAT
MIGHT BE IT!! YES, I THINK IT IS!!
DOES ANYONE HERE REMEMBER TIMI???
WHAT A FABULOUS VOICE SHE HAD!!!
HER BEST RECORDING YEARS WERE IN THE 60'S AND 70'S. POP SINGER WITH A LOT OF BIG HITS, BUT ONE OF HER BEST REMEMBERED SIGNATURE SONGS WAS "HURT". I THINK THIS NEW GAL
AMY WINEHOUSE SOUNDS, AND MAYBE EVEN RESEMBLES TIMI YURO SOMEWHAT (BUT NOT THE HAIR!). WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, MOUSETRAP? DO YOU REMEMBER TIMI YURO AT ALL?
SHE WAS AN AMERICAN SINGER.... FROM THE WEST COAST I BELIEVE.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHERE SHE STARTED HER RECORDING CAREER FROM WHAT I CAN RECALL ANYWAY. SHE MAY HAVE BEEN BORN ELSEWHERE THOUGH. BUT I DO THINK THIS AMY WINEHOUSE HAS A BIT OF TIMI'S LOOK AND HER VOICE
CAPACITY TOO!! YES, I'M SURE IT'S TIMI YURO NOW.... THAT'S WHO AMY

Here's a song I was thinking about this morning, but I was thinking of Glenn Miller, and the swing era. Interesting the parallels in this to more current musical styles. Another thing I remember about the swing genre is its use in cartoons in the 50s. What music!!! See what you think....
