    Subject:  I'm in a contest

    This is kind of a self-serving email, but what the heck. Charlie gave his okay.

    A couple of months ago I read where the city of Frederick has holding
    a contest to come with a slogan. I entered.

    About a month ago, I received an email saying that out of 130 entries
    my slogan was one of five that were in the final running and they
    were now going to open up the voting to the public. They ran a
    release that was picked up by the Associated Press so it made the
    Internet for the world to see. I asked if people from out of
    Frederick could vote and they didn't see where that was a problem. In
    fact in the email that they first sent to me I was told to invite my
    relatives and friends to vote.

    So, if you like, you can go to the link below and vote. My slogan is
    Number 2. "Where History Meets the Future".

    [removed]

    Voting runs until April 20 at 4:00 [removed]

    Thanks for your support.

    Subject:  NOSTALGIA EXPO

    Hey Charlie & Mike:

    My heart pines for the days of FOTR when I got to perform in many recreations
    over several years.

    What are the chances of me being a part of this if I make myself available
    for the Show in Cincinnati??

    I see a lot of old friends in the cast and beg to be a part of the Expo
    especially the SUSPENSE and crime shows.

    Possible?

    Subject:  Catchphrases

    Memory is strange. Last night a phrase I hadn't thought of in decades popped
    into my head: "I'm feeling mighty low." I wasn't sure where the phrase came
    from but Google rode to the rescue. "I'm feeling mighty low" was often
    uttered by Candy Candido on the Jimmy Durante show, and the phrase became a
    national catchphrase, so popular that Durante and Candido even cut a record
    with that title.

    That  got me thinking of other wildly popular catchphrases. These immediately
    came to mind:

    The Jimmy Durante Show --
    "Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
     "Umbriago!"

    Amos 'n' Andy --
    "I'se regusted."
    "Buzz me, Miss Blue."
    "Oh, Andy, what am I gonna do?"

    The Great Gildersleeve --
    "This is going to be one of my baaaaaaaad days!"
    "Are you kiddin'?"
    "Oh, for corn's sake!"
    "Well now, I wouldn't say that."

    Fibber McGee and Molly --
    "Tain't funny, McGee."
    "Gotta get those brakes fixed."
    "Don't open that closet door!"

    The Life of Riley --
    "What a revoltin' development this is!"

    I realize there are many more but these are the ones that "I'm feeling mighty
    low" led me to.

    And we forgot to mention that Chad Rinne will again be providing the organ
    music for the OTR live shows.  Chad hauls his keyboard all the way from
    Nebraska just to give us suspenseful music in the mystery shows, funny music
    in the comedies, and all the other kinds of music that help make the
    re-creations sound so professional.  Thanks so much, Chad!

    Episode 165

    AL JOLSON & THE KRAFT MUSIC HALL: LADIES OF SONG, PART ONE

    Here's Part One of Kraft Music Hall on NBC with Al Jolson and featuring
    shows with ladies of song. The first show is from September 30, 1948,
    and features Judy Garland. Al sings four songs before introducing Judy.
    They are typical Jolson melodies: "Is It True What They Say About
    Dixie," "Red Red Robin," "Poor Butterfly," and "All Alone." Oscar Levant
    also shares time with Al with repartee and piano virtuosity. A show
    highlight is Judy's duet with Al on "Pretty Baby" after her "Johnny One
    Note" solo. The show ends with Al's solo "When I Lost You," leaving us
    wishing for much more from Judy as the show is a little late and ends
    abruptly.

    The second show of Part One of "Al and Ladies of Song" features Peggy
    Lee and is from February 12, 1948. On this show Al introduces Peggy
    after singing only two songs: "Red, Red Robin" (again) and "Rock-a-By
    Your Baby With a Dixie Melody." Peggy sings ""Slow Boat to China" and
    does duets with Al on ""People Will Say We're in Love" and "Birth of the
    Blues."

    Al's songs also include "Say It Isn't So" and "I Got Lucky in the Rain,"
    both tunes from a 1930's Broadway Musical. The title of that show was
    also the song title "Lucky in the Rain," and the setting for the show
    was Paris in 1927. Music was mainly by Jimmy MccHugh, along with Hoagy
    Carmichael, and others. Additional songs included "A Lovely Way to Spend
    An Evening," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and "Exactly Like
    You." Again, at the close of this Kraft Music Hall episode Jolson leaves
    us wanting more songs, this time from the Musical as well as from among
    the twenty-three number one charted songs he had during his career, more
    than even Elvis and the Beatles had later in theirs.

    Al used to boast, "You ain't heard nothin' yet!" And upcoming on
    Classics & Curios there will be more of "Al Jolson and Ladies of Song"
    on the Kraft Music Hall as Dinah Shore, Doris Day, and Dale Evans put in
    guest appearances.
