  1. Musical Interlude: Somehow this old tune came randomly into my head today. This is a Gershwin brothers song, first featured in the 1930 musical "Girl Crazy," which introduced many classic songs. This was first sung by Ethel Merman....just imagine!

    "Boy, What Love Has Done to Me," performed by Ella Fitzgerald.

  5. I hope the amplifier will give me the voice of James Earl Jones, or Barry White, but realistically, & at the very least, I'm hoping to project as well as Ethel Merman with minimal effort. God she was amazing! I wish I were, too.

    Truthfully, I'm know I'm going to look like an idiot walking around Mom's house wearing this thing, reliving my 1970s CB radio days. Remember those? God they were awful and yet somehow so awesome.

  7. "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" is a #popular #song with music by #RayHenderson and lyrics by #LewBrown, published in 1931. #EthelMerman introduced this song in George White's Scandals of 1931. A #RudyVallée version, recorded in 1931, achieved success. The song was revived in 1953 by singer #JayePMorgan. The song title gave rise to the revue of Henderson's music called It's the Cherries, which launched the #AmericanComposerSeries in 2000.
