Hello friends,

There are two new videos of Bernadette performing on some "Happy Birthday Hollywood" celebration. She and Treat Williams star in a mini-musical that is a tribute to the musicals of the 40s and 50s. It's really great because she sings several songs and dances. Check it out!

Part 1

Part 2

Wow! Thanks for that... the whole thing reminded me of the Judy Garland "Born In A Trunk" sequence from "A Star Is Born".

It's strange, I've always found Treat Williams vaguely repulsive and I've never really understood why ... I've never thought him a good actor, but now that I see that he can neither sing or dance, well.....

as Bernadette says....just keep moving on.....

Anyone know where the last song from the 2nd video is from? Or was it written for this?
The lyrics begin with:
let me sing a funny song with crazy words that roam along. and if my song can start you laughing i'm happy, happy.

I've always understood it to be an Al Jolson song.

Let Me Sing And I'm Happy

What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who care for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing this popular song

Let me sing a funny song with crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain of broken hearts that love in vain
And if my song can start you crying I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues to lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy

I'm happy



as Bernadette says....just keep moving on.....
