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!
Well done on the win for S B.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Phil Springer doesn't know me but I am happy the documentary about him won this award!
DeleteCongratulations 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.
ReplyDeleteOh yes indeed, April and May are great for flowers!
DeleteHooray for Santa Baby! Yes, it deserves to win.
ReplyDeleteYour redbud is beautiful. Ours will be a while yet, more snow is predicted tomorrow!
Oh no, more snow? You will be so ready for the snow to end, I am sure! You will be very happy to see your redbud in bloom.
DeleteBesides 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.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I do remember her from Batman! You know I do!
DeleteGood 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" --

Oh, I went and saw it and you know I love it! Also, spent a fair bit of time looking at all the women singers that your highlighted on your blog. Uh, we won't say how long, shall we? Dust go to sleep, I am reading Debra's blog!
DeleteI'm glad it was interesting enough to draw you in! Thanks, Kay!
DeleteThank you, Debra for having such a great blog!
DeleteGreat to hear the Doco won. I love the beautiful spring blooms. March has been good to us. Cooling temps and showers at night.
ReplyDeleteSend us some showers, we need rain! Love flowers, don't you?
DeleteIt's great that the documentary you promoted won :-)
ReplyDeleteMarch was mostly very spring-like here, but this week temperatures have taken a plunge and we are back to winter, with a lot lof snowfall in the mountains and on the higher regions of the Black Forest. Not unusual for us this time of year, but of course most of us want the warmer days back. Good job I always wait a long time before washing and packing away my padded winter coat!
It is like that for us too. One day in the 80's and maybe two days later, in the 40's with a stiff wind that makes it even colder!
DeleteOMGOSH- I had forgotten all about Harpo Marx. I used to be fascinated by him when I was little. Congrats on the documentary winning- I am SURE the readers here pushed him over the top. lol. Have a wonderful weekend, Kay. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteTee hee, you never know. Just a few votes might have made all the difference! I love Harpo! Isn't that clip just amazing? Take care, Diana!
DeleteCongrats !
ReplyDeleteAnna
I am very happy it won, and perhaps it would have anyway but I like to THINK that I make a difference somewhere!
DeleteI'm pleased for you that your choice won. Spring has been warm here, but has now become chillier!
ReplyDeleteI know! It is like that here too! Up and down weather, good thing we can watch the weather forecast and be prepared. They usually get it right.
DeleteI'm happy for you too, Kay. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to vote. That is an amazing rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. I'm trying to get back into blogging and visiting, but things keep getting in the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kay! No worries! I have been loving your posts about your visit to Japan. I know what you mean about things getting in the way. Seems like I am working although I am retired!
DeleteI'm so glad to hear it won.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was well pleased also.
DeleteThat's wonderful Kay and a hearty congratulations. Your redbud tree is gorgeous. I was just saying today how much I would love to plant one to replace the tree we lost. Fun video! Husband and son will be going to a few games this year. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHey! Hope you have a great week too! Baseball, not sure if I like that challenge regarding strikes, guess I am old! Dearly love the redbud tree, it was one of my Dad's favorites too.
DeleteHello again, I am back to answer your question about how oregano is pronounced by a British person. I had to look that up because after over 50 years of living in the States, I am crossing that line where confusion begins of things once said in a different way :) From what I read, oregano in British English is pronounced o-ri-GAH-no.
DeleteYes, that is how my mother in law in England said it! I wonder if you still have your English accent? Richard does! It has softened a bit, but folks are surprised he has been here since the 80's, he still sounds so English!
DeleteGreat blog
ReplyDeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteHi. You’re doing well, I see. Love the flowers. I have never been to Georgia, but visited Virginia, DC, and Florida several times. My taste of the south. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteHey Gigi! We are doing fairly well, hope you and David are hanging in there too! Aloha.
DeleteSo pleased to read that it won :)
ReplyDeleteIt's almost Easter I wish you a happy and peaceful one.
All the best Jan
Hey Jan! Thanks! Happy Easter to you also, my friend.
DeleteIt's nice to know that a great composer is out there and still plays piano at 100 years old! God Bless him! I knew about the song Santa Baby and remember that clip from the I Love Lucy show too.
ReplyDeleteHey Larry! Wasn't Lucille Ball wonderful? I loved her shows. Phil Springer is a gifted person of music, glad to mention him on my blog.Thanks for your comment!
