Just in case...you didn't catch it

A Message to Michelle

First of all, Michelle, you are NEVER fully dressed.

You are pretty ugly.

Even when and if you smile

[TESSIE]
[spoken] So, for all of the "Hours of Smiles" Family, 
this is Bert Healy saying... 
[singing] Hey hobo man, 
Hey Dapper Dan, 
You've both got your style 

[ALL ORPHANS]
But brother, you're never fully dressed 
Without a smile 
Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly 
They stand out a mile 
But brother you're never fully dressed 
Without a smile 

[JULY]
[spoken] Who cares what they're wearing 
on Main Street of Saville Row 
It's what you wear from ear to ear 
And not from head to toe. 

[MOLLY]
That matters 

[TESSIE]
[spoken] Ah. the lovely Boylan Sisters. 

[DUFFY, KATE AND PEPPER]
Doo doodle-oo doo 
Doo doodle-oo doo 
Doo doo doo doo 
Doo doo doo 

[ALL ORPHANS]
Who cares what they're wearing on Main Street 
or Saville Row 
It's what you wear from ear to ear 
And not from head to toe that matters 
So, Senator, so, janitor 
So long for a while 
Remember you're never fully dressed 
Though you may wear the best 
You're never fully dressed without a 
Smile 
Smile 
Smile!!! 
Smile darn ya, smile.

First of all, I used to hate hearing "Tomorrow" by the violinists at brunch in the Hyatt in Milwaukee.

Then...I worked the show, as costume assistant to Mr. Rhodes Reason, who was playing 'Daddy Warbucks' with the First Tour.

And I found those children to be especially adorable, even when the 'Annie' peed during the curtain calls.

Perhaps...just perhaps...

It must have been wonderful...

..to sing alongside your Dad!

To those two guys...up there...

Mighty Sun!

"Canto della Terra"

The Translation:

Yes I know 
My love, that you and I 
Are together briefly
For just a few moments 
In silence
As we look out of our windows
And listen
To the sky
And to a world
That's awakening
And the night is already far away
Already, far away

Look at this world 
Spinning with us
Even in the dark 
Look at this world 
Spinning for us
Giving us hope and some 
Sun, sun sun

My love, you are you my love
I hear your voice, 
And I listen to the sea.
It sounds just like your breathing
And all the love you want to give me
This love
That is there, hidden 
Hidden among the waves
All the waves in the world
Just like a boat that....

Look at this world
Spinning with us
Even in the dark
Look at this world 
Spinning for us
Giving us hope,
And some sun, sun, sun,
Some sun, sun, sun.

Look at this world
Spinning with us
Giving us some sun,
Mighty sun
Mighty sun
Mighty sun

For what is man?

There's certainly nothing wrong with listening to Sinatra on a Thursday, is there?



Does Barky, ever-deficient in American history, even know who Frank Sinatra was?

Oh...yeah!

Just a li'l bit o' history for Barack to study.

Dedicated to the troll...your time is coming, creep!
