Dugan EK : "Brown Eyes, Why Are You Blue?" (real song title)

Beth Kenobi : :-) I'm a couple days behind in mail is what I meant

MamaLion27 : Eleanor, what topic do you think is in the mail lately?
Dugan EK : Forgive my collander memory -- I don't recall what was decided on for today.

MamaLion27 : I know they have been researching the Gale and Nelson's Australian tours.
Dugan EK : Ah, yes, VERY impressive!

Beth Kenobi : I know that...Did Ginny do a poll for this week?
Dugan EK : Probably -- does anyone know what was decided?

Beth Kenobi : Does anyone know the link?

MamaLion27 : I haven't been able to get into my mail because this thing is screwed up.

MamaLion27 : AliceFaye3 in online

Alicefaye3 has entered the room.
DIXC : Hi:-)

Beth Kenobi : Hi:-)
Dugan EK : I just found an e-mail from Kirifan@aol.com, asking to be asked to the chat. Does anyone know how to do this?
Alicefaye3 : Hi kids! I'm sorry....I can't stick around this evening...but I thought I'd pop in to say hello!

Beth Kenobi : I do

Beth Kenobi : I'll invite her now

MamaLion27 : Hey, cuz. I got the CDs! Thank you!

Beth Kenobi : It says she is not on
Alicefaye3 : No problem....Cuz.....I think you're missing one though....
Alicefaye3 : Did I forget to send you one?

MamaLion27 : Oh. Well, I have 2...are there 3?
Alicefaye3 : Yeah...there are....which ones do you have, if I may ask?
Alicefaye3 : Am I missing something here?
Alicefaye3 : Ok...I'm back on track...

MamaLion27 : The Nightclub Act and J & N interviews.
DIXC : There are two CD interviews

MamaLion27 : I haven't listened yet because i am doing intensive fall cleaning.
Alicefaye3 : Yeah...you're missing one of the interview cd's....do you know which one you have?
Dugan EK : Like the ticking clock on "The Iron Chef," 16 minutes have elapsed. Do we have a topic? Is it Australia? What can people contribute on the topic?
Alicefaye3 : I've gotta run kids...but Cuz, if you can let me know which one you have, I'll send the other out asap!

Alicefaye3 has left the room.

MamaLion27 : Annie is digging up news reports from the dates she has..

Beth Kenobi : *sigh* If I hadn't been so out of it this week I would have known. HOw about a free forum chat. ANyone who has questions can give them
DIXC : The NEAS has one journal about their night club act.

MamaLion27 : Does anyone have a copy of that one?
Dugan EK : Does anyone besides me regret that Nelson chose night clubs over the concert stage?
DIXC : I do It was about in 1994.

MamaLion27 : It must have been before I joined.

MamaLion27 : I would love to do a Corner piece on that subject. No, I believe he enjoyed the nightclub act and my only regret is that I never saw it.
DIXC : His concert music choices were my preferences to what he felt he had to sing in clubs to please that audience.
Dugan EK : Yes!! I felt the "upbeat" songs were just wrong for his voice -- like "Rhythm of the Day" in Dancing Lady. "Great Come and Get It Day" was just WRONG!
Dugan EK : He wasn't "speaking to the audience," which is what he did best. His personality wasn't "hearty and loud."

MamaLion27 : I know he did Desert Song pieces and many from his films.
Dugan EK : But probably the money was much better for nightclubs.
DIXC : He preferred doing concerts but the NEW audinces wanted what he now sang in movie roles.
Dugan EK : In my e-mail box is a note from Deborahp7@yahoo.com who wants to join chat. Again, can someone fetch her?

MamaLion27 : Jessi, is that possible?
DIXC : Who knows how to do it?
Dugan EK : I am hopeless at this high-tech stuff --

MamaLion27 : Eleanor, ask her if she is on AIM?
DIXC : Me too-...

MamaLion27 : Is she online now?
Dugan EK : The e-mail JUST arrived --
Dugan EK : I asked via e-mail --

MamaLion27 : I am so sorry that my AOL is down and I can't get to my e-mail.

MamaLion27 : But I do have a question about "Maytime"?

Beth Kenobi : I will try to invite
Dugan EK : Ask your question!

MamaLion27 : Did anyone notice just when Nelson changed his character's demeanor from playful to more serious?
Dugan EK : During duet --

Beth Kenobi : Tell them they must notify me so I can invite them,....if I don't have them on my list I have no way of knowing they are on
DIXC : When he considere askin her doe marriage?

Beth Kenobi : Wasn't that after the Tree scene?

MamaLion27 : Yes! Under the tree when he began the song he gradually became much more mature in his attitude.
DIXC : My spelling on this machine is atrocious. Sorry

MamaLion27 : I have been watching mysleep tape of that movie this week.
DIXC : Any fellow would if he plans to ask her for marriage!!

MamaLion27 : That's okay,Dick. I type and this darn thing typos.
DIXC : He's just a good actor

MamaLion27 : Yes, he was good. Even if he didn't believe it..
DIXC : Also he felt he was loosing her to B.

MamaLion27 : Yes, later..but the change began before he was finished with his part of the song.

MamaLion27 : Perhaps i am watching it too much and i am just reading into it but it seems as though he becomes almost a different person by the middle of the song..a more serious one.
Dugan EK : You are absolutely right!!

Beth Kenobi : I saw that too

KathrynGraysonFn has entered the room.

MamaLion27 : The playful Paul was great but theserious paul was magnificent.
Dugan EK : Agreed.

KathrynGraysonFn has left the room.

MamaLion27 : Pardon my reluctant shift key!
DIXC : I saw that he suddenly realized that she was also inove with him and what now should he do.

Beth Kenobi : I always thought that scene, He gets more serious and then when he finds that she'll be marring J.B. He loses the playful side

MamaLion27 : Yes and he also knew instinctively that she would never go back on her promise!
DIXC : I agree

MamaLion27 : That is fine acting!

Beth Kenobi : yep....I actually think that he played emotions much better then some modern day actors. Some of them can not make it look real

MamaLion27 : But I better change my sleep tape this week and go on to another one of the movies!
Dugan EK : Fortunately, the scripts never required him to sob, fling himself about, rage and smash things -- all standard for today's poor actors.

MamaLion27 : Yes, today you have to have props, and mayhem because sublety is too hard for them to accomplish.

Beth Kenobi : True. I feel sorry for Elijah Wood because the scenes where Frodo is harmed are pitiful due to the scripting. One of the only flaws in the movie (and his acting)
DIXC : So much for Australia?
Dugan EK : Golly, Nelson never had a car chase or a helicopter or an explosion.

MamaLion27 : Nelson never overplayed his roles. Even in The Chocolate Soldier when he could have done that with Vasili.

Beth Kenobi : Could you imagine him doing that?

Beth Kenobi : Which is a good thing, because Had he, he might have lost some of the younger fans.

MamaLion27 : Oh, yes, we did forget Australia. Maybe we better set that up for next time?

Beth Kenobi : Yes. I shall notify Ginny that we decided on that. It should be an interesting topic.

MamaLion27 : We may have more information by that time.

Beth Kenobi : Which would be good.

MamaLion27 : Any other topics?
Dugan EK : I don't know that anyone had any information to contribute on Australia today. Would this be different next week?

MamaLion27 : That is why we should perhaps have some other topics for the rest to select from...!

MamaLion27 : Dick?

Beth Kenobi : How about Pre-movie days of Nelson or Jeanette. We could talk about the defferent Avenues of work they did before they became Movie stars *such as Opera or Newspaper*
Dugan EK : Good idea.
DIXC : Dont think much new will come next week about Australia.

MamaLion27 : Yes, Nelson and I have copywriting in common!
DIXC : Early days might be a good idea.

MamaLion27 : Let's go with that. Thereisa myriad of subjects just in that.
Dugan EK : Well, I need to go. See you all next week.

MamaLion27 : Bye Eleanor!

Dugan EK has left the room.
DIXC : OK; but I have say Bye for now. Take car all.:-)

MamaLion27 : Bye Dick

DIXC has left the room.

MamaLion27 : Talk to you later, Jessi!

MamaLion27 : Did you get a transcript?

MamaLion27 : :-D

Beth Kenobi : I'm getting it now:
