Thank You for Voting! (More Than Santa Baby Won!)

 


Thank you all very much for voting for the documentary about Phil Springer for People's Choice for short documentary. IT WON! Isn't that wonderful?  What IF those of you who voted are the ones who got it over the top in order for it to win? Isn't that a great thought? It reminds me of a children's book, "Horton Hears A Who" by Dr. Seuss. What? You don't know it? You should!  I have written about it before, just here.  

   I truly love the comment from Melody (you know I LOVE that name!) who said that anybody who wrote "Santa Baby" deserves all the awards.  He really does! And I think I told you that he co-wrote that song with Joan Javits, I found a great article about their songwriting together here. Oh! And they wrote it together with the thought of Eartha Kitt singing the song. Even though Eartha Kitt is no longer with us, I saw a photo of Eartha Kitt's daughter and Joan Javits together, where they just happened to meet at a clothing shop in California! (Might have been LA, hey, I don't remember details, alas for my little bit of blog writing.)  

Once again, thanks very much.  I really appreciate it!


Our lovely redbud trees have just about bloomed out now, but they have been so nice! I do wonder if all the azaleas and dogwoods blooming will be over by the time the Masters in Augusta occurs in April! It truly seems as if our Spring flowers have been early this year.  March will be over soon, hope the month has been kind to you all.

Take care!












Today is opening day for baseball! I have had this song on here before, it is Harpo Marx from the "I Love Lucy" show!

  1. Congratulations to the winner! Your redbuds are beautiful, and even if the azaleas and dogwoods are done by the end of April, I'm sure there will be plenty of other flowers blooming where you are.

  3. Besides Santa Baby (both 1 and 2) being favorites as Christmas songs Eartha Kitt was also my favorite Catwoman on Batman. She was known as a chanteuse in France too.

  4. Good news that the documentary won! When I featured Eartha Kitt as my "Beautiful Woman of the Day" on my other blog, I included a quite fabulous animated video of Ms Kitt singing "Santa Baby" --
