GREAT story about Gordon MacRae. I prefer to think he was just being kind ;0)

Wow, I just looked, I don't have Calamity Jane. Howard Keel's another voice I just love.

Kiss Me Kate, I'm no fan of Kathryn Grayson, but Howard Keel, Ann Miller (stupendous) Keenan Wynn, James Whitmore. Wow.

Then there's Bob Fosse and that great Carole Haney in their short solo in From This Moment On. Wow, what a pair.

I think Cole Porter wrote the best music and lyrics ever.

I love "Kiss Me Kate," the play and the movie. Yeah I'm a big Howard Keel fan. In "Calamity Jane," Doris won the Oscar for best song for "Secret Love." I know every word to every song in it. Cole Porter derived music riddles my iPod Touch.

I have never acted in Oklahoma, but I was born in Tulsa. Does that count for anything? :burnout:

I can, but not very well. My wife once told me I was tone-deaf.

My high school choir did a program one year which included songs from Oklahoma. At the beginning of "Poor Judd is dead" shots (the sound of) were fired backstage and I staggered out and quite a good dying scene if I do say so myself. The rest of my job was to lay there quietly and try to not laugh too hard while the choir sang. That part i wasn't so successful, according to my mother.
