I got my first lesson in professionalism from Ethel Merman. I was touring with a show doing the Melody Fair circuit of summer theater-in-the-round shows, back in 1964. She had a one woman show that was touring just ahead of us. We arrived early and caught her last show before she moved on. There were only about 75 people in that giant tent. She came out and gave the same slam-bang performance she would give to 5,000 people. She was a pro from top to bottom-a great woman and gret performer.

Your Welcome as I get older those people who provided the soundtrack to my life are slowly leaving us.
But thanks to all the great people who download videos.
These singers get a fresh audience to hear them and they live on.
Like Abba said Thank you for the music these songs just get better with age.

In a 1977 interview with Gene Shalit she said ther that she was 65 so that put her back around 1912,though she did mention that people were quoting her age then as 68.

Yes it has that fudge story...and if you want to know about it read the book! I'm glad that you read it ragtime; I have no affiliation with the book but think it's the best tome written abou the Merm! |
