Posted: 6/23/04 at 3:01pmHas anyone seen this show (not the movie)? How different is it from "George M!"?
And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

Posted: 6/23/04 at 5:26pmDidn't something similar to this ("Little Jimmy Jones" or something), tank spectacularly in the 1980s...
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Posted: 6/23/04 at 5:59pmLittle Johnny Jones WAS a show written by George M. Cohan, whose life is remembered through "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "George M!". "LJJ" featured the song "Give My Regards to Broadway"

I would be SO content if all these shows and such about George M Cohan would cease to exist. His songs, especially the earlier ones we wrote, were all crap. His life was not all that interesting. Please, please, please...no more......
If you couldn't tell, I was in George M!, and it was not the best experience.
Don't make me brag. ;)

Who knew all the instruments play together in that overture? And in the same key too? Goood times with a high school orchestra, good times.
Don't make me brag. ;)

Posted: 6/24/04 at 8:42amYou're gonna see LOTS of Cohan shows in the future, becuase his songs are now public domain - in other words - no royalties!

Posted: 6/24/04 at 12:49pmNoooooo!! I don't think I can spend anymore time trying to stomach lyrics like "they have whiskers like hay/ and imagine broadway/ only 45 minutes from here".
Don't make me brag. ;)
