Johnny Ray?

yes, i did not click on the photo, just the reply button. the links do not show up everytime but often.

when i click on the reply link, GA, i see the name of the person in the picture, so i will not "cheat" this time because i was about to submit an incorrect guess! and she was in one of my all-time favorite movies!

Al Pacino!! he's playing him for an HBO Special!

do you think they had anything else in common?!? LOL

i think i have to quote my late, very lady-like mother now: "getting old is a bitch"!!!

i think so but it was unintentional! sorry about that. i thought the picture was guessed to be Belinda Carlisle and i thought i was correcting that!! see what i know? just can't keep up, i guess.

the link above says it's Shelley Fabares! i have that same top (and i don't mean the hair)!

i know him but cannot come up with the name. i can even hear the way he spoke back then. it is not Robert Montgomery, is it?

i love me some good old coffee ice cream and that old Jamoca Almond Fudge, for sure, but a real treat is some home-made black raspberry!!! love good cocoanut ice cream as well. oooooowwweeeee! but, guess what: i hardly ever allow myself to eat the stuff. mainly i'll indulge in that Skinny Cow stuff. it's not bad, actually!

Valerie doesn't even have a chance 'cause she can't see it either! LOL in actuality, i've guessed a lot correct but haven't gotten here in time! and then i recognize the person but can't remember the name. such is the life of a "senior"! LOL

i think it's audrey meadows and not her sister jayne.

Carol Lynley did all those Breck shampoo commercials too.

that is mos def her daughter on the piano - the fabulous Monday Mitsuru Mariano Sipiagin!! p.s. when i googled it, a bunch of entries came up but they may not be worth anything except: "One of the most beautiful albums we've ever heard from Toshiko Akioshi -- a wonderfully sensitive trio session that's quite different than her more bop-oriented work of the 50s! The mid 60s album features a fair bit of tunes pulled from traditional and Japanese sources -- a few of the lullabies hinted at in the title, and a few more tracks with some slightly Eastern-styled themes. Toshiko's piano, while bold at times, also has a sensitivity that hadn't often shown up in her work by this point -- a new sort of gentleness that's open to light colors and tones that really flesh out the album beautifully. Bass is by Yasuo Arakawa and drums are by Kanji Harada -- and that's a young Monday Michiru sitting on the piano on the cover (and the album was also one of the last to bill Toshiko as "Mariano", referring to Monday's father Charlie.) Titles include "Mari To Tonosama", "The March", "Angel's Lullaby", "Tuppen Och Honan", "London Bridge", "Cancion De Extremadura", "Kanchororin Bushi", "I Ken Pien Tan", and "Chocho"."

most definitely is!

we all know how hard it is traveling these days, even if you're relatively young. playing your instrument is the easy part! i'm sure it's very difficult for his beautiful wife as well. bless them both.

Petulia Clark

i heard that Dave was at the Newport Jazz Festival but was unable to get out of his car because of the torrential rains and the possible risk involved.

Nope, nope and nope! I had a hunch someone might say Lou Rawls! Valerie, let us know who the Johnny is you are thinking of! It isn't him either, but now I'm curious. All the hints I can think of would make it obvious, so I'll wait a bit before giving a clue. i thought it was Johnny Nash.

Damn, i can't think of Johnny's last name! i know he passed away years ago.

Bravo and Amen! and prayers go out to Gil Noble.

thought so. sorry.

if you're talking about the LAT, there are no Friday jazz listings that i've seen.

the man IS 90+!!!!! LOL I was using it metaphorically, that is, there are a lot of preliminaries before you get to the book itself (do your own extrapolation!). But still.....one hopes one is never too old yes, and i was trying to make a feeble joke!

the man IS 90+!!!!! LOL
