I like....

I like musicals!

The past few days, I have been sick.
A combo of flu-fever-smoky-air
kind of sick (fires thru out our state
and the surrounding states)

I have been staying inside knitting
and watching too many hours of
Netflix and YouTube.

I love musicals, so I watch some
clips and full movies I haven't 
viewed before.

I've included a photo, plus the
dancer-singer name
of some of my all around favorites.
Click on their name to see a
dance number.



Vera Ellen

I wanted to dance like her when I first
saw her in "White Christmas". So
energetic and athletic, yet, such a lady!





Nicholas Brothers

Amazing in all they did with dance!
Defied gravity!




Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds, the all American girl.
I loved her in any show she performed in.




Donald O'Connor

If Debbie was THE girl, Donald was THE
boy in the sweetheart department. He made
dancing look so easy.




Gene Kelly

Mr. Kelly had it all, especially when you
put him with Debbie and Donald in my
favorite musical of all time,
 "Singing in the Rain".
I have worn out 2 video tapes of the movie,
and now have it on DVD.


So, as I still recover (and knit)
I will watch more musicals.

UGH! I agree with you on the smoky air. My pneumonia lungs have really suffered. But, today looks a bit better and you have made good use of your time.

I love all those musicals and performers as well! One of my favorite tunes is "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain. Luckily, we had rain last night to clear out some of the smoke from California! I feel so bad for that beautiful state.

I love musicals too- The sisters song from White Christmas is one of my favorites ever, and I have to confess to watching it over and over on youtube....

I love musicals, too! Anything you can sing along with! Sounds like a good way to entertain yourself when you have to stay inside.

Good stuff. I was a Danny Kaye fan for old musicals. :-)

Hi Suzanne! We love musicals, too. Have you seen the Pajama Game with Doris Day? How about the Music Man - either version is good but I like the classic version except for Shirley Jones singing. I hate to admit I haven't seen Singing in the Rain. Gasp! But I will fix that soon. Good grief - I'm sorry! I do have White Christmas on DVR and randomly watch it any time. I hope you are feeling slightly better. {{Hugs}} Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne

Old musicals! Love
Into the woods is newer and a fave of mine too.

the smoke is so dangerous. We get smoke from all the surrounding states, even CA that doesn't touch us. It's awful, and yet some complete idiots two houses down had a fire pit going on a Wednesday night!!! It was cool, and we'd like to have the windows open but Nooooooooooo. And there's a fire ban here!

So protect yourself from the smoke, get well, and see you soon I hope!

Sorry you are feeling bad. I hope your movies and knitting are helping you feel better. I love the dances. They are magical!

The smoke is so thick here too.
