I picked up the MCA 20th Century Masters collection & found myself absolutely mesmerized by Jolie. In a month I knew the lyrics to all the songs & even now play some of them on guitar with vocal.<BR/>This is an absolutely beautiful blog by the way. I've just discovered it & I'm making it a point to read every single post until I get to the most recent when I will be regularly stopping by to see what's new. So great to find people with such good taste & knowledge of these wonderful bygone days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980139.post-45154811113003789822006-11-04T14:02:00.000-05:002006-11-04T14:02:00.000-05:00No need for me to add Ruby Keeler's quote --- you ...No need for me to add Ruby Keeler's quote --- you just did, and very neatly too.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to write!<br /><br />JeffJeff Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397346655785197799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9980139.post-64476716078855037352006-11-04T13:05:00.000-05:002006-11-04T13:05:00.000-05:00Sometimes it's fun to be " repeatedly poked in the...Sometimes it's fun to be " repeatedly poked in the shoulder by a loud, over-bearing boisterous fellow puffing a cheap cigar", and I guess for that reason I enjoy Jolson. I even own the laser disc boxset so I can see these films whenever I want to (which isnt that often, despite my love of WonderBar !).<br /> but I feel that you have to add mrs jolson's Ruby Keller 's comment about Jolson to any comment about him. Something to the extent of "Al Jolson is the world's greatest entertainer. He used to tell me so himself, three to four times a day".<br /><br />StevenRoweAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
