This was one of my earliest cassette tapes. It came about after the success of his recording of The Itsy Bitsy Spider for an AIDS benefit album. This collection is not readily available these days, but I was able to find a copy to download, and what a blast from the past! 😆

I don‘t often reread nonfiction but this was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me several years ago. Talked my book club into reading it & the excuse to reread it is a definite bonus. Two chapters in & it is every bit as good this read through as it was the first time. As much a biography, if you will, of A Portrait of a Lady as it is Henry James, this book offers a fascinating analysis of the author, the book, & the world in which it was created.

I finished listening to An Ace and A Pair, but other than that audiobook I started some books, ignored others, & plan to continue with those included in this collage. #GeorgetteHeyer #biography #ACountryHouseMystery #sundaybuddyread #cozy #artloversmystery #Audiobook #adeadcoldmystery #HarryMcCoyThriller #readyourkindle #wildwomen

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Thank you! Went to ER yesterday on MD suggestion & after bloodwork & a CAT scan, I left with UTI & diverticulitis diagnosis along with treatment plan. What a snap shot of humanity while waiting there! I feel better mentally- the not knowing & making up dire scenarios was mot healthy for me! (edited) 6d
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll oh I am sorry both those things are awful. And yes. It‘s wild in the ER. 6d
Chrissyreadit ugh!! i‘m glad you have answers and a treatment plan! 6d

Betcha you‘re not surprised it‘s music! My Daddy loved music which played almost nonstop in my house when I was a child many, many years ago. This is one that I heard often. - “Autumn Leaves”

78/100 I know this is a biography of Lorne Michaels, not a book solely about SNL, but I found the book slow going until we got to the part dealing with the show. The behind the scenes glimpse of how a show comes together, what decisions go into keeping or dumping sketches (don't call them skits!) was endlessly fascinating. Creating SNL, Michaels is obviously a comic genius, but also a very reserved, private person. I recommend this ⬇️

RamsFan1963 for anyone who's interested in the interworking of the entertainment industry, especially television. 4/5 ⭐ 1w
Octoberwoman I read a really good book about SNL years, I think it was called Live From New York. It was an oral history so interviews/reminiscences from cast members and crew members. It was pretty fascinating. 1w
RamsFan1963 @Octoberwoman I read that book a few years ago, it's a definite history of SNL, warts and all. 1w

rwmg 1967! I had no idea. He's firmly linked in my mind to WW1 and the 1920s 1w

Cuilin @rwmg Yes same, his WW1 experience is so interesting being one of the ones that got diagnosed with Shell Shock and sent to Scotland. He was then sent back to the front was injured but survived!! I think in his later years his poetry from that time embarrassed him. Personally, I think it‘s historically important. 1w
Cuilin @dabbe 💛🤎🧡 1w
CarolynM I find him fascinating. He was always an odd chap. I think in later life he tried to distance himself from a lot about his younger self, whether it was embarrassment or denial. Have you seen the film Benediction? I don‘t think it gets him completely right, but it felt closer in spirit than some of the things I‘ve read. 1w
Cuilin @CarolynM Yes, I did see it. I need to see it again. I think there was a lot of repression and yes embarrassment. There‘s something about those World War I poets that I find fascinating. 1w
