Of course they have a few bevvies Marian, and whatsmore it's their own way of relaxing and winding down after a show, their own money they are spending, and most importantly of all their own damned business.
Also, how certain stories start is one thing, but they become very much like a dog with a bone, that won't let go.

Nice to see you again Hilary....or how about a nice cup of Horlicks!!!

They certainly need to unwind and relax after a show, who wouldn't?

and as you say Lena and Harry, it's their own damn business!

Hi Hilary, nice to hear from you again

Russell's programme this evening was to talk about D.richard Vosburgh, the comedy writer and lyricist who has just passed away.
Talking of his involvement with Rodgers and Hart's music Russell then talked about "The Rare Monro" and the work involved on this double CD from Michele and Richard Moore. He played Matt's "Blue Moon"

:lol
: A great programme of songs all our favourites Perry Como Vic Damone. the brilliant Noel Coward and Ella

Yes L&H, a really interesting programme tonight

you took the words from my keyboard tonight, as I was going to mention "Blue Moon" Michele and Richard

Vic Damone sounded very young singing the lovely "Laura" but I really like Vic's voice, sooooooooooooo smooth

we even heard Sarah Vaughn singing the words "chapter one" instead of "chaperone" during another song (I forget which song)

but a good show, as usual

There's been some great music played today, "Aren't You Kind of Glad We Did" was Sarah Vaughan's song Robert.
Vic Damone was always up there with the best of the crooners of that era, and Perry Como's "Without A Song" one of the best versions of that number.

ROBERT M. · Post by **ROBERT M.** » Mon May 07, 2007 12:37 am

Thanks for the information L&H

David Jacobs has always liked Vic Damone, hasn't he

but I don't think Vic was ever as commercially successful, as other well known crooners from that time were. He is not a household name to most people, like the Franks, Nats and Perrys of this world are. I agree L&H, Perry Como singing "Without a Song" was outstanding

Well it's opinions again but we beg to differ there Robert , Vic Damone was classed as the best by millions.

Health problems have probably prevented him recording in recent years.

I agree Lena and Harry, Vic Damone was always up there with the best of them. I believe he used to tour over here regularly for many years.

He has an excellent website on http://vicdamone.com

Yes Vic Damone recorded some good songs, thanks to Lena and Harry I have been listening to him quite a lot recently. Wasn't he married to Diahann Carroll at one time?
I also agree about Perry Como's version of Without A Song, he used to sing this alot on his concerts.

Lena & Harry Smith · Post by **Lena & Harry Smith** » Mon May 07, 2007 11:45 pm

Yes Diahann Carroll was married to Vic Damone John.
He was either her Third or Fourth husband.

not absolutely sure which.

ROBERT M. · Post by **ROBERT M.** » Tue May 08, 2007 5:27 pm

Going back to my post. I know we, and many other easy listening music fans know and love Vic Damone, but the ordinary Joe in the streets might not have heard of hime before, especially the younger people

but EVERYONE, including the youngsters of today will have heard of Frank, Dean, Nat and Perry

that's what I was trying to point out.

Lena & Harry Smith · Post by **Lena & Harry Smith** » Wed May 09, 2007 9:24 am

OK Robert, we get the drift. we'll let you off.

ROBERT M. · Post by **ROBERT M.** » Wed May 09, 2007 9:45 pm

Thanks L&H

Matt was on Russell's show tonight singing "Your'e Sensational" from HIGH SOCIETY
