What to wear when going on vacation

You have to dress accordingly, which depends on the place you're visiting....

For a trip to Niagara Falls, stay dry like Guy in a raincoat.

 
If you're heading down Acapulco way, dress like you're going to dance the Cha Cha....


But if you're going to the beach, and you want to avoid sunburn at all costs, this will do.


And finally, what goes better with the islands of Hawaii than those bold and colorful Hawaiian Shirts.


They're having a great time, wish you were here!

Salute to Grammy Award Winning Songs

Ah....the Grammies, they are the awards given out to the music industry's best, so they say.

If so, how do you explain recording legends like Milli Vanilli, Zack Braff and Senator Everett Dirksen listed as Grammy winners?

But that's for another time, this week the Champagne Music Makers salute the Grammy's best in this 1974 episode!


Highlights include Ralna and Lawrence sharing a dance....


....Jack Imel doing his version of the Sermon on the Mount


....and the Musical Family pretending they're Bob Havens


GRAMMY AWARD WINNING SONGS - January 5, 1974

1. COME TO THE CABARET - Larry (Hooper), Bobby, Cissy, Mary Lou, Anacani, Gail, Ken & Arthur
2. PUT YOUR HAND IN THE HAND - Guy Hovis & Ralna English
3. I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU - orchestra featuring the saxophone section
4. MICHELLE - Ken Delo
5. THEME FROM EXODUS - orchestra conducted by George Cates featuring Bob Smale and Bob Ralston at piano


6. LES BICYCLETTES DE BELSIZE - Anacani with Bob Ralston at the organ
7. STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT - Tom Netherton
8. WHAT NOW MY LOVE - danced by Bobby Burgess and Cissy King
9. PEOPLE - Tanya Falan


10. MOON RIVER - Norma Zimmer
11. GAMES PEOPLE PLAY - orchestra featuring Neil Levang on guitar, Henry Cuesta on clarinet, Russ Klein on saxophone and Bob Havens on trombone
12. LITTLE GREEN APPLES - Clay Hart
13. CATCH A FALLING STAR - Dick Dale with Cissy, Mary Lou (Metzger), Tanya, Norma, Sandi (Griffiths), Gail (Farrell) and Anacani


14. ROSE GARDEN - Ralna English featuring a little dance with Lawrence
15. MACK THE KNIFE - danced by Arthur Duncan
16. MORE - Jimmy Roberts
17. MEDLEY OF MEREDITH WILSON SONGS FROM THE MUSIC MAN
     a) SEVENTY SIX TROMBONES - the orchestra
     b) GARY, INDIANA - danced by Bobby and Cissy
     c) TIL' THERE WAS YOU - Joe Feeney
     d) (YA' GOT) TROUBLE - Jack Imel with entire cast
     e) SEVENTY SIX TROMBONES REPRISE - Jack, Mary Lou, Arthur, Dick, Sandi, Tanya, Ken, Guy, Ralna, Norma, Jimmy, Joe, Gail


A wunnerful episode in my opinion, based on the fact that the songs featured were actually those well deserved of winning the Grammy.

That meant you didn't hear them sing Milli Vanilli's "Girl You Know It's True" although it would have sounded better....and it was actually sung!

Also, maybe this episode should have been called "Forever Plaid" considering an outbreak of plaid on the set......


And our own Clay Hart was nominated for a Grammy back in 1969, for his album "Spring". He would be a well deserving winner, but lost out to another well deserved artist, Johnny Cash.
 
So until next week, keep a song in your heart and if you haven't won a Grammy, just blame it on the rain.

I'm Free with Fashion Hits Through The Years

This week's episode is all about looking fashionable....


Watching it kinda reminds me of one of my favorite Britcoms of all time, "Are You Being Served?"


If one thinks about it, the Music Makers do wear clothes that you can find from the Ladies & Gents department of Grace Brothers.



All with the courtesy and service from the store's friendly staff....



Of course, not all things go as planned.....


They should have followed Mr. Grainger's advice


"Don't worry about the pants' inside leg....you'll find they will ride up with wear."

Until, next week's show....as the Maestro and the music makers always say, "Keep a song in your heart"

 
....and also as Young Mr. Grace would say, "You've all done very well!"


And we are all unanimous in that!
