#ThrowbackThursday
The line "I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner" still cracks me up. Star Search clip added for fun.

#ThrowbackThursday I may be late to learn about the musical origins of "All By Myself." Just recently I had my "wait . . . what???" moment.

#ThrowbackThursday I've never been a fan of Ms. Barr herself, but I loved "Roseanne" the sitcom (and, subsequently, "The Connors.") Especially the Halloween episodes. Here are three snippets.

#ThrowbackThursday. The musical act at one of Saturday's No Kings rallies in Lexington MA covered this song admirably. Had to Google it 'cuz I wasn't sure if or where I had heard it before. Anywho, awesome song that will, alas, be perpetually applicable.

#ThrowbackThursday Before I learned about solfège in a music theory class recently, I had just assumed that this “do re mi” thing was something Oscar Hammerstein dreamed up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=drnB...

On a different note (no pun intended), anyone up for escaping to Switzerland tonight?

#ThrowbackThursday This Star-Kist campaign might have been among my first introductions to witty wordplay. Since then I’ve held similarly properly punny promos near and dear to my heart.

#ThrowbackThursday To this day I think of Anne Burrell whenever I whack a garlic clove with the side of my knife blade, toss something into the “thanks for coming” bowl, or “BTB-RTS” (bring to boil, reduce to simmer). RIP, O salty girl!
