Bill Conti led a double life: he wrote almost unlistenable classical pieces for small orchestras, and he wrote movie soundtracks that stole liberally from the French Baroque with a touch of Disco. (He reminds me a bit of the character Mort Liddy from Atlas Shrugged.)

”Rocky” had been thought of as a “B” picture by its studio, and Sylvester Stallone had been peddling the script around Hollywood for years. When Stallone worked as an extra on one of Robert Mitchum’s last films, Mitchum famously told the producers not to bother with the script. “It’s a turkey.” Stallone ended up making Mitchum eat his words, and when I met Mitchum in 1985 in Santa Barbara, he joked about his failure to see a genuine crowd-pleaser in Stallone’s work.

This item from “Rocky” came in at #29 this week on its way to the Top 10.

Oh no.....we are supposed to get some, but it should only stick up on the hillside.

Hope yours melt right away. Enough is enough!

Oh...good evening, JJ...((HUGS))

[Jet Jaguar]

Agreed.

HUGZ back

[luvie]

I’ve been wondering why I haven’t heard from him lately, too!

HEY YOU...CHECK IN ALREADY! :)

[luvie]

Good evening, Kathy! (((hugs)))

My honor and pleasure to do this small thing for the ones that do so much for us!

Thank YOU for all you do for them AND for us! :)

This guy was versatile. This was one of his slow tunes, coming in at #2 this week.

Leo Sayer: “When I Need You”

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy1

*HUGS*

Sorry I've been so scarce lately - we're pounding pretty hard at the office and I've been getting home late.

Fortunately, we're not working this weekend - I need to get some things done here at home - and a little rest, as well. :)

Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

They started out as Linda Ronstadt’s backup band, and even today Linda collects a tidy sum from every Eagles disk sold because she owns a share of the band. The guys don’t particularly like each other and don’t socialize together, but they make fine music and a lot of money. This came in at #1 this week.

Eagles: “Hotel California”

And so we end one week of music history 36 years ago. See you tomorrow night! Cue the Rockumentary theme!

San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”

[Drumbo]

Thanks dear lady. We have a long way to go, but the journey’s started. The long black tunnel is behind us.

[Grammy]

This is a perfect picture! Congratulations.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...too cool that you got to go back to choir practice.

Is your commute getting any better?

Rest sounds like a good idea. I am so ready not to have to set my alarm. My Mom has an appointment at 10am, but I can sleep til 9, maybe. LOL!!
