Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: Blues in the Night (1952)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Was last night a good night for you? Or were you singing the blues?
I’m not a night person, but yesterday was a good for me.
2) In this song, Rosemary Clooney sings about hearing "big talk" she didn't quite believe. What's the last fib, tall tale or out and out lie you heard?
There is one person who I know who is inclined to tell tall tales. Once I overheard them talking how they were on a committee and he/she (I don’t want to give away their gender because they read my blog and will I’m talking about them) didn’t know I was on the committee.
3) Rosemary Clooney has a well-known nephew -- George, the Oscar winner and frequent People magazine cover story. Do you have any nieces or nephews?
Yes, one niece and three nephews.
4) Ms. Clooney married the same man twice. They married, had five children and divorced. Then three years later, they tried again ... and divorced again. Have you ever been tempted to give it another try with one of your former loves?
Yes, but it didn’t work.
5) Singers as diverse as Linda Ronstadt, Bette Midler and Amy Winehouse have said they admired and were influenced by Rosemary Clooney. If you could meet any artist (singer, writer, actor, director, painter, musician ...), who would it be?
Linda Ronstadt, I had a crush on her back in the 70s
6) 1952, the year this record was a hit, is also the year the "Big Bang Theory" was introduced by physicists Ralph Alpher and George Gamow. That is too lofty a topic for this humble meme, so instead we'll just ask: Do you watch the TV show of the same name?
Nope, I don’t watch sitcoms
7) Sam Winters just broke her right thumbnail. While she won't go so far as saying it has her singing the blues, she must admit it bugs her. What little annoyances are you dealing with today?
A filling fell out and I will need a cap, so I have been avoiding going to the dentist. I have a cleaning next week and I will pretend ignorance. Or it could be the blister on my heel from new shoes... take your pick.
8) The house next door to Sam's has a FOR SALE on the lawn. Are you contemplating a move?
Nope, not for another 20 years.
9) What's your search engine of choice: Google, Bing, Yahoo or Ask?
Google.

The tooth and the blister -- each alone would be enough to make me crazy.
ReplyDeleteooh I'd so want to call out the liar liar pants on fire LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the dentist - just think about how much better you will feel afterwards!
Oh I just cringed when I read #7! I so hate going to the dentist! Good luck! Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI like Linda Ronstadt. I hope you have good luck with the dentist.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to Linda Ronstadt's Duets album but it was more country-ish than I normally like her voice.
ReplyDeleteLinda was amazing in the 70's.
ReplyDeleteYikes, a blister and tooth ache? Hope you feel better soon. darn!
ReplyDeleteLinda Ronstadt singing "Blue Bayou" is one of my favorite ear worms. that and "Desperado".
