Hi. Been busy :-)

If you want to see Benny Goodman and Band and Carmen Miranda in Technicolor
and wearing a hat that goes offscreen, a-& the Busby Berkeley girls dancing
around with BANANAS! that are taller than they are, check out, and I'm only
gonna tell the list this ONE MORE TIME,  "The Gang's All Here."

BTW, saw King Kong yet again the other day; had the sound off. Great silent
flick; fewer distractions from what's really going on. When Faye Ray is
coming onto what's-his-name just before she kids kidnapped from the boat,
she is SO HOT; looks like she can hardly stand it! Yowee!

Check out the most eclectic music station on the net:

Keep cool, but care.
