brisket

These videos / musical numbers / songs ....never, ever fail me.
I always - without fail - smile at these.
They always make me feel better.
They never fail to improve my mood.

Die Lorelei (from the poem by Heine)

Count on Me (from the film On The Town)
Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Ann Miller, Betty Garret, Jules Munchin, Alice Pearce.
Betty Garret (striped skirt) died a few days ago.

Avalon - thanks for the Lion clip.
I had not seen it before. Oh dear a mixture of smiles and moisture.
Thanks everyone. All these clips are what they call "feel-good" - their effect is invariably a good one. Lovely!

Yes, thanks everyone for the clips. Great stuff

I saw the documentary about the lion, it was fascinating.
Lovely clip Avalon - I actually liked the music over it.

I must admit, though, if I'd been there when the lion came bounding over I'd have been a bit apprehensive, just in case his memory wasn't that good and he was having a bit of an off day!!

Oh Happy Day (the Sister Act version) gives me those shivers and the tummy flips you get when something just 'gets' you. (As a fellow music person I know you'll know what I mean!)

I`m hopeless at explaining it Clumsycat but I`ll give it a go.

1. Choose your video
2. Right click on the http:// thingy at the top of the page
3. Left click on copy
4. Come back here.

5. Open reply box
6. To the right of the smilie icon ^^^^ there`s a green film icon
7. Open it
8. You`ll see a box saying File/URL.
9. Right click (what you`ve copied) into that box
10. Left click on paste.
11. Press insert (it`s at the bottom of the box)
12 Submit reply.

I hope that helps. It seems complicated but once you do it a few times it`s really easy.
Give it a try! Good luck.

It makes me feel too sad being in a thread he started or contributed to, so I'd rather stick to the threads that remember him.

I agree, squiggle.

I've been looking for that brisket post for Dame Anne and it was lovely seeing all his old posts.

Didn't find the right one, mind you.

Thanks Supes.

I seem to be the odd one out. I don't want to delve back into briket's threads, it upsets me. I really just want to remember him as the FM he was.

Nobody's congratulating themselves, cologne.

I am loving reading briskets threads, it's a real tonic reading his written words, then listening to his choices of music. He had a wonderful taste in music in my opinion, and it is just lovely to share it all again.

I've looked at loads of his music and theatre posts today and really enjoyed remembering him that way, but, like everyone else who is looking, can't find the post Dame is after...I saw that one too Scotty, what a lovely guy, and not once was it about 'him' he didn't even mention his piano playing
