I Know Where I’m Going! was a very good movie, and had big-name stars in Wendy Hiller, Roger Livesey and Catherine Lacey, but I didn’t much enjoy making it. It was shot on a very dark set, and I was afraid of Michael Powell.

Petula Trumps Donald
77 WABC sure isn’t what it was when I listened to the station as a kid. Recently, an interview with Trump was featured. Tonight, Cousin Brucie will restore civility to the WABC airwaves and chat with Petula Clark. I’ll record it and post the audio below.
I’ve read, and recommend, Petula’s autobiography. It’s an honest and open telling of her life, minus a few personal details. The title is something that John Lennon said, as explained in this preview.
Here’s Petula with Cousin Brucie. Hey, WABC: You’re playing only one channel of stereo recordings.
DJT Phone Home
The world is still waiting for the Trump Phone. There’s a T1 on the back with a meaning that, I’m sure, is lost on members of the Trump family. It refers to digital telephony technology.
But there’s something else about that tall “T” bringing something to mind. What could it be?
Oh, yeah. This.
Play It, Steve!
A tribute to the late Steve Cropper of Stax Records, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, and the Blues Brothers.
California Girls
The Lennon Sisters always expressed their thanks to Lawrence Welk for giving them their start. But Welk owed them something too. After their first appearance 70 years ago, Dee Dee, Peggy, Kathy and Janet quickly, if not instantly, became the most popular performers on the show.
Stocking Stuffer
Something Palmyra Delran played tonight on Little Steven’s Underground Garage on SiriusXM.
