| Jayne Mansfield...under the covers |
This week, after what had to have been too much celebrating this past weekend, the Lady of the Manor had taken ill with the sinus yucks.
There was lots of orange juice and chicken soup consumed and she spent most of the week in bed and under the covers.
I'm pleased to report that she is on the upswing and is up and at 'em.

OMFGess!!! I love Ella and I've never heard this one. KICK ASS!! mwah! thx!
ReplyDeleteI uber dig this list man. I am glad you got the download stopped and have it stream. Groovy. How many good playlists have Ella and the Ramones. I have a great cover of "The Joker" by a band called Black Train Jack (their only album) of the famous Steve Miller hit. It rocks. I am always looking for a good cover song.
ReplyDeleteAs usual...groooooovy. I concur with our friend Gigglechirp: I love Ella-Does-Cream. ; )
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mad props!!! When I first heard the Ella/Cream cover, I knew that would be the start off for this week.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the feedback on the stream. I've been wondering how it's been working and it's good to hear that it seems to be working fine.
I would love to hear "The Joker" cover. It's one of my favorites.
Little story about that particular Steve Miller album. In the fifth grade, I brought that to "show and tell" and, after playing it for the class (specifically "Jet Airliner" with the line "funky shit goin' down in the city") I was promptly chastised and punished by my teacher.
Oh, and J'ADORE Johnny Hallyday!
ReplyDeleteComment on the movies on the side. "The Killing" by Kubrick is one of my all time Fav,'s!!!!
