Tunes For The Troops
 



 
**Artist Showcase**
So...I saw a show on HBO called *Paul Williams Still Alive* & I guess I had forgotten what a talented man he is. I wasn't able to garner much of his collective works but I hope you enjoy what is posted here.

Paul Hamilton Williams, Jr. (born September 19, 1940 is an Academy Award-winning American composer, musician, songwriter, and actor. He is perhaps best known for popular songs performed by a number of acts in the 1970s including Three Dog Night's "An Old Fashioned Love Song", Helen Reddy's "You and Me Against the World", David Bowie's "Fill Your Heart", and the Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays", as well as his contributions to films such as "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born and "Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie. He has also had a variety of high-profile acting roles such as Little Enos Burdette in the highly successful 1977 action-comedy Smokey and the Bandit, and as the villainous Swan in Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise (which Williams also co-scored, receiving an Oscar nomination in the process), as well as television, theater, and voiceover work for animation.

Enjoy the variety of musical selections that the Canteen Deejays provide throughout the thread. Please ping any DJ with your requests for the Troops!

That is so kind of you.

I spent the last weekend in Seattle at the concerts of the Winter Festival of the Seattle Chamber Music Society. I caught something on the plane coming back from Seattle.

(AAAA-CHOOO!)

I'm using up a box and a half of tissues per day, which is why I haven't prepared anything for this weekend.

Are you feeling any better?

“Are you feeling any better? “
I am over the pneumonia and feeling much better, thank you!
My RSD is flaring tonight, so pain is still an issue.
It’s been bad lately.
May have to go back to the Pain Center, and adjust my meds a bit.

I suspected you weren't 100 percent. I hope they get it under control.

That lady from my past is going to be on the Maverick Soul Hour tomorrow night. She's heading to L.A. to audition for a rock band that is currently opening for Jethro Tull. This could be a major break for her. She is going to spend osme time with me in Georgia. I'm looking forward to getting reacquainted with her. We had so little time when I visited her in the Lehigh Valley in PA.

“I suspected you weren’t 100 percent.”

I try not to let it bleed into the Canteen too much, I hope that was not the case..

I wish your lady friend all the best!
I hope you two have a wonderful reunion!

I suspected, but I didn't know for sure about your issues.

The reunion should be -- ahem! -- interesting. I'm a (former) Tea Party person (the chapter disbanded), and she is an Occupier. If nothing else, the debates should be fun.
