Heart of the City by Steenz for May 28, 2009

oh no, poor heart. Anyone care to lay odds that Dean get accepted into the summer drama camp and heart doesn’t?

I suspect a lot of readers will not know this is the song “My Mammy”,made famous by Al Jolson in the 1927 movie “The Jazz Singer”, considered the first talking film.

Well done Dean! Hopefully you’ve saved the day!

“Oh Mammy, It’s your own son Sammy, From Alabamy, So don’t flim-flam me, And fry me some eggs and Hammy.”

Thank you, Mark. Another clever one!

Well what do you expect from a man who just won a “MAJOR AWARD”?===== and I don’t mean a fishnet stocking-black garter covered leg lamp either.

ALL HE NEEDED WAS CHARCOAL ON HIS FACE ALA AL JOLSON

Nelson, do NOT even BEGIN to go there.

I’ve still got several 78 RPM records (ask your grandparents, kids)(great-grandparents?) of Al Jolson, including “Mammy”, “Sonny Boy”, Rainbow on my Shoulder”, etc. Got them when an old bar in Crockett, Ca. closed down, and the jukebox (ask them again, kids) actually played 78s, not 45s. Big collection of 45s and 33s also, along with several phonographs. I’ve tried converting some to digital, but it’s just not the same. That was a different world altogether, and we’ve left it far behind.

LOL! Heart’s expression is priceless. I wonder how Dean persuaded her into that. ;)

Coming up next: Revenge Of The Mummy.

Bwahahahahaha! Awesome! I’d never had predicted this one!

I wonder if you realize that you have a small fortune in records there, especially if they are in good condition.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!! Thanks Mark ! Now I need to clean my keyboard and monitor !

Once again, Dean ruins the day.
