That program about Bing Crosby is probably the one I recorded a few years ago and never was able to see due to the Phantom DVR program eraser kid that lives in the house.

This one debuted on PBS last year as part of the American Experience series, and is about an hour and a half. It's really beautifully done ... the writing, the interviews, the editing, the choices of clips and music ... bravo! We bought the DVD. If you see it, BE SURE not to turn it off before the credits finish. They play an outtake of a recording where Bing makes a mistake, but continues to sing, ad-libbing his complaint (in colorful language) that eight bars were cut from the arrangement, but no one told him! Apparently there are several of these outtakes out there, including one while he was recording "Jingle Bells" with the Andrews Sisters.

If you can't find the program anywhere, PM me. I'll point you in the right direction.

Enjoy your vacation!

Thank you we are! It's the perfect week, all the kids are back in school so it's not terribly crowded

Me, too <3
I had set a reminder on my phone years ago, and woke up to it this morning. Made me smile!

I received an email yesterday from an e-card company reminding me to send her a birthday card for today.

Love it, maybe it's her way of saying hi and that she's thinking of you too.

Good morning ~
Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. It flew by for me. We attended a 30th birthday party for my nephew on Saturday. Still can't believe he's 30, I feel so old! I was just a teenager when he was born, the years have flown by.
Yesterday we ended up bringing Maggie in to the animal hospital because she was fussing with her paw. The doctor said it looked like it was a bit inflamed but couldn't find a reason why. They sent me home with a topical spray to give her some relief. She's already on antibiotics in case there's something else going on. She hasn't touched it so far today, so fingers crossed the topical spray is taking care of whatever was bothering her. Another weekend has gone by and my husband still didn't take my Autumn decorations down. By the time we got home from the animal hospital yesterday he had too many things to take care of around the house. I didn't want to go in to the attic myself, but I may have to.
Not too much going on today, typical day of errands and chores. The temperatures have cooled off a bit, it was beautiful when I woke up this morning. It's going to warm up to a high of 75 today.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

I hope Maggie is feeling better.

I heard the Jingle Bells outtake a few times, I used it once in the song of the day a few years ago.

Harlowe's favorite is a Scooby-doo Dracula that talks, then laughs in his "Hehehehehe" cute way-it's hilarious!

Sounds like a fun toy!

I hope Maggie's paw is better soon. Sounds like you had a hectic weekend. I was meant to get Mr F to bring down some decorations from our loft (attic) this weekend too! Didn;t get around to it either. Hope you can decorate soon.

Good morning HMG! Prayers for Maggie! I'm glad it seems better this morning! Hopefully she won't have any more problems with it!
Hope you are able to decorate for Fall very soon!! xx I'm hoping to do that this week!

Happy Monday, HmG~
Hope you guys had fun at the party, and that your nephew had a great birthday!
Sorry to hear that you had to bring Maggie in-hope she's okay!
Do you think it could be allergies, or a tiny cut? Praying for her, and you <3
Hope the topical spray works wonders for your sweetie.
Enjoy the beautiful weather, and have a blessed day!
(((Hugs)))

A very busy weekend indeed. Luckily for me, I took an extra day off so I could relax on Sunday. That won't happen often, but every now and then is nice.
Hope the little one is feeling better and have a good week.

Awww....I hope Maggie's foot is ok!

I hope Maggie is feeling better.

Thanks everyone, Maggie's still fussing a bit but not as much as yesterday. The doctor at the animal hospital didn't see anything wrong so hopefully it will improve. If it doesn't I'll bring her to the regular veterinarian, he mentioned it could possibly be allergies. We'll see what happens.

Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone!! It's the start of the "crazy" week for me. 5 days to the wedding. Just have some little stuff to wrap up for the wedding, but it seems that there's a ton of them. I have off Friday and Monday so hopefully Monday I can relax and recover.

Have a Merry Day, everyone!!

Hope all goes well this week. How exciting!

My nieces are now 25 and 23 so I know how you feel.

"Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think"

So true!

It is!

This is great! I'd heard an excerpt with the fluff, but not the entire outtake!
