Book Vs. Movie: GypsyThe 1957 Memoir Vs. the 1962 Movie“Musicals in March!”The Margos celebrate another “Musicals in March” episode with Gypsy. Gypsy Rose Lee's 1957 memoir tells her real-life story of growing up in vaudeville and burlesque under the domineering influence of her mother, Rose Hovick. It paints a detailed picture of her childhood alongside her more naturally talented younger sister, June (later June Havoc), and how Gypsy (born Louise Hovick) eventually became the most famous burlesque performer of her time. The book is witty and self-deprecating and offers an unvarnished yet entertaining look at her complex relationship with her mother. The movie Gypsy is based on the successful 1959 Broadway musical by Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim, and Arthur Laurents, rather than directly on the memoir. It follows the same structure as the stage show, focusing on Rose Hovick's relentless push to make her daughters stars, culminating in Gypsy's rise to fame. However, because it was a Hollywood film, it softened some of the grittier aspects of Gypsy's story. So, which version did we prefer? Have a listen to find out!In this ep, the Margos discuss:A look at the career of Gypsy Rose Lee The different Broadway productions over the yearsThe cast includes Rosalind Russell (Rose Hovick,) Natalie Wood (Louise Hovick/Gypsy Rose Lee,) Karl Malden (Herbie Sommers,) Paul Wallace (Tulsa,) Ann Jillian (Dainty June,) Morgan Brittany (Baby June,) Parley Bear (Mr. Kringelein,) Harry Shannon (Grandpa,) Betty Bruce (Tessie Tura,) Faith Dane (Mazeppa,) Roxanne Arlen (Electra,) and Jean Willes as Betty Cratchitt. Clips Featured:“Natalie Wood as Gypsy”Ethel Merman on the Perry Como show in 1960Gypsy (1962 trailer)“Dainty June & Her Boys”“Everything is Coming Up Roses” (Rosalind Russell)“Little Lamb” “Let Me Entertain You”Music by Jule Styne & Lyrics by Stephen SondheimFollow us on the socials!Join our Patreon page “Book Vs.

Listen in as we banter everything from mismatched attire to the nostalgia of simpler times when we enjoyed French pastries during recordings. Despite the challenges, we preview upcoming guest segments and maintain our unique blend of humor and Italian American culture. In this episode, we explore the evolution of Italian American food culture and the significant impact of globalization on traditional Italian and Italian American cuisine. We share personal anecdotes about the cultural importance of red sauce restaurants and highlight efforts to document and celebrate this culinary heritage through a new documentary series. The conversation transitions into the Italian American Foodways Project, which aims to trace the history of Italian cuisine in America and foster connections through communal dining experiences. We emphasize the importance of authenticity and reflect on the critical nature of Italian culture. The journey continues as we delve into Italian American cultural artifacts and the influence of Italian and Italian American artists from the 1950s to the 1960s. The discussion covers the rich cultural insights from translating Lou Monte's songs and the crossover impact of entertainers like Perry Como and Dean Martin. Wrapping up, we explore the creative process behind our Italian American Christmas music projects and the fluid nature of identity, especially for the next generation of Italian Americans.

Send us a Text Message. From an early age, Harry Tuft was involved in piano and clarinet lessons. Through a summer camp counselor, he learned about the ukulele and became interested in playing that instrument. From there, he moved to a baritone ukulele, and then a six-string guitar. His father loved classical music and opera and would often play traditional classical during dinner. After dinner, Tuft would listen to the pop and R&B stations of the day and sing along with the likes of Nat King Cole, Jo Stafford, and Perry Como. From John McEuen: "With the airing of Ken Burns Country Music, [John] McEuen has brought acoustic music to many new fans, taking part in 4 episodes of the series. Episode 6 is called Will The Circle Be Unbroken and John closes that one. A co-founding member of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (1966, with a dream ‘to be on the radio').  October 2017, after [the] 50th anniversary tour, John left the band to pursue his own tour dates and projects, and stepped off the bus." From a very young age, inspired by a piano inherited from his grandparents, Howard Dlugasch took piano lessons of his own volition. By his early teens, he started playing a multitude of instruments, such as guitar, drums, bass, and vocals. He jokes that he is mediocre at all of them, but only because he is a musician who wants to focus on a multitude of instruments at once rather than completely on one specific instrument.  Thank you for listening to The Mountain-Ear podcast featuring the news and culture from peak to peak.

Don McLean III is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1971 hit song "American Pie", an 8.5-minute folk rock "cultural touchstone" about the loss of innocence of the early rock and roll generation (US #1 for four weeks in 1972 and UK #2). Though some of his early musical influences included Frank Sinatra and Buddy Holly, as a teenager, Don became interested in folk music, particularly the Weavers' 1955 recording At Carnegie Hall. He often missed long periods of school because of childhood asthma, particularly music lessons, and although Don slipped back in his studies, his parents allowed his love of music to flourish. By age 16, he had bought his first guitar and began making contacts in the music business, becoming friends with the folk singers Erik Darling and Fred Hellerman of the Weavers. Don recorded his first album, Tapestry in 1969 in Berkeley, California during the student riots. After being rejected 72 times by labels, the album was finally picked up and released. Don worked on the album for a couple of years before putting it out. It attracted good reviews but little notice outside the folk community, although on the Easy Listening chart "Castles in the Air" was a success, and in 1973 "And I Love You So" also became a number 1 Adult Contemporary hit for crooner, Perry Como. Don's major break came when the record company he was with was taken over by United Artists Records, which gave him major label promotion for his second album, American Pie. The album launched two number one hits - the title song and "Vincent". American Pie's success made Don an international star overnight and piqued interest in his first album, which charted more than two years after its initial release. In 2004, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In January 2018, BMI certified that "American Pie" and "Vincent" had reached five million and three million airplays respectively. His composition "And I Love You So" has been sung by Elvis Presley, Perry Como, Helen Reddy, Glen Campbell, and others, and in 2000, Madonna had a hit with a rendition of "American Pie". His other hit singles include "Vincent" , "Dreidel" , a rendition of Roy Orbison's "Crying", a rendition of the Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You" , and "Wonderful Baby". Recently, the Grammy-award honoree and BBC Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has released his latest studio album, "American Boys" which pays tribute to his rock and roll heroes.

(2o. domingo de febrero: Día Mundial del Matrimonio) Se conocieron en la adolescencia, en la década de 1930. Él acababa de salir de la iglesia a la que asistía cuando se dio cuenta de que dos señoritas desconocidas necesitaban que alguien les indicara cómo llegar a casa. Pero en lugar de limitarse a darles instrucciones, las acompañó hasta donde se encaminaban. «Íbamos a caminar juntos un rato nada más, pero resultó que fuimos hasta llegar a su destino», recordó Donald Hart. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que con la joven que conoció ese día, llamada Vivian, Donald habría de casarse poco después en 1937, y que su matrimonio sería tan largo que el siguiente siglo, habiendo ya cumplido ambos los noventa y nueve años, llegarían a celebrar su octogésimo aniversario? ¡Ochenta años casados con el mismo cónyuge, un solo año antes de cumplir los cien! En la fiesta de aniversario del 25 de junio de 2017 los dos disfrutaron al máximo del pastel junto con sus familiares y amigos más cercanos, y recordaron el día de su boda, ocho décadas de memorias maravillosas —momentos de sacrificios y de ver cómo crecían sus hijos, sus nietos y sus bisnietos— y una de las canciones que cantaba Perry Como titulada: «Cuando haya encanecido tu cabello». «Ahora hemos cumplido la letra de esa canción que hemos estado cantando. Pareciera que este aniversario hubiera llegado de repente», le dijo Donald Hart al noticiero ABC acerca de la letra romántica: «Cuando haya encanecido tu cabello, te amaré igual que siempre». «¿Ahora sí está canoso mi cabello?», preguntó bromeando Vivian Hart mientras se tocaba la cabeza. Su bisnieta de veintiocho años, Andi Ripley, dijo que era muy especial poder honrar a sus bisabuelos en este gran aniversario después de todo lo que habían hecho por la familia. «Es especial por lo mucho que han invertido en la vida de la familia —dijo ella—. Cada vez que tenemos una reunión familiar, mi abuela dice: “Esto es como un poquito del cielo.”» Según los esposos Hart, ¿cuál es el secreto del éxito de un matrimonio? «Asegúrense de que sea sincera la relación que tienen. Traten de hacer lo correcto a los ojos de Dios —dijo Donald—. Conviene que rían juntos. Diviértanse, pero no bromeen el uno a costa del otro.» «Siempre asegúrense de poner a Dios en primer lugar en su vida —añadió Vivian—. Estén siempre dispuestos a ayudar a su cónyuge y a cuidarlo. Nosotros oramos juntos todos los días por la mañana y por la noche. No nos concentramos en nuestros problemas.»1 Lo cierto es que si les hacemos caso a Donald y a Vivian, y dejamos que Dios ocupe el primer lugar en nuestra vida, Él se encargará de ayudarnos a reír juntos y a disfrutar del matrimonio tal y como lo diseñó. Porque desde que creó a nuestros primeros padres Dios ha querido que todo matrimonio sea como un solo cuerpo, que los dos se fundan en un solo ser,2 y que lleguen a tener una familia piadosa que, cuando se reúna, haga que sientan un poquito del cielo en la tierra.

The guys compared George Pickens to a pretty woman who gets away with everything and skates through life because of her looks. How does Jaylen Warren feel about what happened last week? Listener had a story about Perry Como. Caller thinks people wanting Steelers to lose-out is ridiculous.  Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from The Athletic joined the show. Mark commented on the national voices starting to turn on Mike Tomlin and how he views it. Mark doesn't think Tomlin will be gone after the season. Mark talked about the other issues going on with the Steelers, including George Pickens at the top of the heap. The guys asked Mark about what the next step is with Pickens if something else happens. Mark doesn't foresee an extension for Tomlin and thinks he will be a lame duck next season. Would the lame duck idea make any sense? The guys talked about what kind of staff it could look like if Tomlin only has one year left on his deal.  Mega Matchups – Bengals pass game vs Steelers depleted secondary. 

Our guest today is Lisë Davis, she is the wife of the late legendary singer-songwriter Mac Davis. As the founder of Mac Davis Enterprises, she plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting her late husband's legacy for new generations. Her commitment to the art of songwriting is evident in her leadership of "Song Painter: The Mac Davis Fund for the Art of Songwriting," an initiative dedicated to the growth and development of emerging songwriters. As a songwriter, Mac Davis rivals the likes of Lennon and McCarthy, Simon and Garfunkel, and rightly so. Mac became famous as a songwriter and wrote the hit songs "In the Ghetto", "Memories", and “A Little Less Conversation” which were all recorded by Elvis Presley. The list of notables who recorded his songs are Nancy Sinatra, B. J. Thomas, Perry Como and Linda Anderson to name a few. In 2010, Mac Davis co-wrote the song “Time Flies” with Rivers Cuomo, which appeared on Weezer's Hurley album. In 2013 he was part of the Los Angeles writing and producing team that created the hit "Young Girls" for Bruno Mars. Mac Davis also wrote and collaborated with the late Swedish D.J. and music producer Avicii, penning the song “Addicted to You” for Avicii's debut studio album True. They performed the song “Black and Blue” together at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami in 2013.  By now, you have to know Mac Davis' songwriting and singing is legendary. And we haven't even touched on his acting career. #countrymusic #popmusic #singersongwriter #singer #songwriter #songwriting #elvispresley #elvis #avicii #brunomars #dollyparton #halloffame #musiclegend #songpainter

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] Harry was right. Santa Fe is gorgeous.  You know, being here, thinking about it being Harry's favorite, thinking about the fact that she could be here, right now, with me, and she's not… (sighs) It wasn't…it wasn't all bad. That's what I've been thinking about. Since I arrived, since going to the art museum, it's like I see her around every corner, and I imagine what she'd look like going through the galleries, or pointing out the unique architecture, or insisting we find ingredients to make one of her favorite Santa Fe meals, whatever that might be.  It's—it's made me—I've been remembering the good times, I guess is how you'd put it. There was this one time, before everything happened actually, before that last job, way before— Richie had this unbelievably shitty loft in Alphabet City. Barely any heat, exposed wires, groaning pipes, warped glass in the old windows, just the whole thing. He was the only one of us who lived on the East side—even me of the unpermanent address tended to stick West—but he was also the only one who owned his place. Well, and Pete. We were all pretty sure that Pete owned a whole fucking brownstone in Brooklyn, but we were never able to confirm it. He was pretty secretive about his personal life.  But, anyway, Richie would sometimes let me crash at his loft and he had us all over with some degree of regularity—the place was huge, so great for big parties. The crew wasn't big of course, but he'd invite all his weird beatnik friends and Harry would bring her art friends and Don would bring the guys he grew up with who'd always have some kind of Italian fruitcake with them and Pete and I would stand in the corner friendless and drinking heavily.  And one night, we'd all been there for hours and the crowd had dwindled and it was really just us and Don was doing his truly awful Perry Como impression and Harry and I were on the couch just…in stitches. And I think both of us were pretty sauced by that point, because once Don took mercy on all of us and stopped, someone had the brilliant idea of doing a game of charades. Harry and I were on the same team and we just…I don't know, it was fun. It was really fun. We kicked everyone's asses, it was…we were so in sync, it was strange. But Harry didn't make fun of me for my pedestrian choices of what to act out and she didn't pick anything that she knew I wouldn't get and it was like… “Oh. This is what it could be like if we were nice to each other. I didn't expect it to feel this wonderful” Anyway, then we sobered up and everyone went home and I passed out on Richie's couch and then I didn't see Harry again until our next job nearly two months later. And it was like that night had never happened. She was just as cold and condescending as ever. And I was just as snide as I always was.  But for that one night…I don't know, it felt good. It felt like how things were supposed to be.  With your mysterious job and all, I wonder if you had any friends in it. If you ever goofed around with them. Or if it was all serious, all the time.  It must have been, right? If it went as badly as you say, hurt people, it must have been serious right?  I mean, I dn't know why I'm even asking, I— [click, static] I still don't trust you, but not talking to you is worse.  [click, static] [beeps] .. - / ... - .. .-.. .-.. / -- .- - - . .-. ...

In part two we reminisce John Wayne's movies made from 1952 to 1976- ending with his big screen goodbye- the Shootist. We'll talk about his appearance on 'A Colonial Christmas in Williamsburg with Perry Como" in the months before his death, his two battles with cancer, and the backstory on 'The High and The Mighty', 'The Shootist', and 'The Cowboys'- plus I'll name my 8 favorite John Wayne Movies. I also do my best to explain why I believe boys benefit much more from outdoor contact with other boys than indoor computer games- using the simple reasoning that the challenges they face trying to get to the next level in a computer game don't prepare them for the challenges, large and small, that they face in real life- such as getting along with friends, dealing with bullies, choosing the right friends, learning the values of honesty, integrity, interacting with girls, learning that practice makes perfect in any kind of sports, showing gameness and courage- and the list goes on.
