thanks. i haven't thought about julie london in ages. so i put a song of hers up on my blog. just great.
if you can ever find Nice Girls Don't Stay For Breakfast
buy it and put it on a loop.
the final lyric is
and nice girls,
don't stay for breakfast, honey,
please.
pass.
the.
jam.
julie was an incredible singer. she was one of my biggest twelve year old crushes. me da used to play backing her. and even though her husband bobby troupe was on piano and they were obviously one of the more loving, and perfect couples in the history of love, i was twelve, she was nice to me, and beautiful.
i. was. in. love.
i can see why.
ah, the crushes of 12 year olds. nothing like em!
This one sent me straight to itunes to get me some BW in a format that I can listen to.
Hope you have sme help with that book packing.
MB: Just curious--where did your folks meet?
da was an irish volunteer for the RAF who trained in the white mountains before heading off to burma to fly cargo (no way were the brits going to trust irish boys with bombers). they met, they fell in love, they got married in two months, da went to war and came back.
I figured there must be an interesting story there...thanks.
that's a grand story!
