I thought I'd post this song from that all-time great turkey, Mame, which showed to all the world Lucille Ball was not just a sight for sore eyes in this flick but for sore ears, too:
Not that Ball ever could sing, but years of smoking lowered her voice to a baritone. Co-star Bea Arthur sang in an even deeper voice. Mame was one of the few musicals in movie history where the women sang in deeper voices than the men.
Tomorrow night I am heading out of here by bus to Oregon for a week or so. There is supposed to be snow on Christmas day.
