Re: Saturday Sunshine

Blair: I was already out of college when that ran on PBS; however, I somehow missed it - and - was unaware of it! ....... Perhaps "Saturday Sunshine" should have been paired up with "The World Is A Circle" in the ill fated "Lost Horizon" soundtrack. .... By the way - I ...

Re: Saturday Sunshine

..... Blair! - Always appreciate the fact that you tell it like it is! ..... Could not agree with you more on your last point! ...... I always thought that "Saturday Sunshine" sounded like something from the Broadway production of "Annie" - perhaps a followup to: "The Sun Wi...

Re: New Song in His style ....

Re: My World Cup Composition

Layne:

Liked it a lot on my first listen! .... Picked up a little BB influence on this one. ... Also - to my ear - a shade of Mancini as well! .... You're on your way guy! .... Keep up the good work!

Re: Hal's Penthouse For Sale

Blair: Your concerns are legitimate and I find that more and more young people are beginning to realize this. ....... Although we're still able to find some humor in blue's "humble abode" - complete with "hot and cold running mice" (a future source of protein) - I refuse to sell ...

Re: "Looking With My Eyes": Hit or Miss?

face: I would attribute the "respectable showing on the charts" of "Promises Promises" to the fact that the hooks in that song have an immediate impact on the listener's ear - much like the"82" international hit "Heartbreaker". ....... What astounds me to this...

Re: Hal's Penthouse For Sale

Well blue - it is said that the 3 most important things to consider in purchasing real estate are: Location, Location & Location! ..... Your "humble abode" with its panoramic views passes that test. A new roof, windows and siding will turn it into your "dream home"!

Re: "Looking With My Eyes": Hit or Miss?

face & BBW a "HIT" for me as well. ... I still recall hearing it for the first time on WLS radio in Chicago in the 60's. ..... Instantly loved it and Dionnne performed it live on the TV show Hullabaloo soon after its release. ........ Within weeks it was apparent that the song was far ...

Re: Hal's Penthouse For Sale

Somewhat modest and practical "digs" for someone of Hal's stature during his senior years. ... I've lived in studios, apartments, high rise condos (one on the 52nd floor), townhouses and a large single family. Through it all - I always felt the same. Only difference "more stuff" ...

Re: Elvis Costello on the David Letterman Show tonight, May

I'm unwilling to write off a Broadway musical production of PFM at this early stage of development. .... "Painted From Memory" is a catchy title that could result in an interesting variety of potential story lines. ....... A good script along with some great songs, performers and productio...

Re: "What's up" with Dionne

I remain puzzled by the fact that the 2 most prominent announced collaborators on the "Feels So Good" project (Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder) are not part of the 14 track "Soundcloud" preview link. Both names still appear on Dionne's website: dionnewarwick.us ........ Perhaps the...

"What's up" with Dionne

Does anyone know what's going on in the "Warwick Camp"? ...... Fan Club appears to be defunct (no posts for months and the e-mail address no longer exists) . The current website (dionnewarwick.us) is not up to date. A countdown of days until the release of her "new album" ... FEE...

Re: songs in the production style of other famous songwriter

"blue" Thanks for posting that link. ... Reminds me once again that I was a Bacharach admirer before I ever knew he existed. ... My favorite Pitney recordings all turned out to be BB songs with that common thread I could never define. ... That same common thread resurfaced when Warwick beg...
