<p>Speaking of the 70’s, anyone watching the Oprah show featuring the Osmonds? Hard to believe they were in the same decade as the Grateful Dead.</p>
<p>Oh poo. I actually wanted to see that show, kathiep, but I forgot all about it. And other than a few select clips, doesn’t look like we can watch the episode on the web. Any ideas? I dont know anyone who tivo’ed it.</p>

<p>Uh oh, I’m old. My first Broadway show was My Fair Lady in 1956. I believe I saw Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews. Can’t remember a thing.</p>
<p>D’s first musical: My Fair Lady with Richard Chamberlain and Melissa Errico.<br>
She was five, as I was. We saw Chamberlain emerge from the stage door, final performance. H had a customer in the show so D got to walk on the stage and look out into the seats and pretend she was a performer.</p>
<p>S’s first musical was CATS. I thought they should have paid us for sitting through the second act.</p>
<p>I think my first Broadway show was either South Pacific, The Sound of Music or My Fair Lady. I don’t recall. But I do remember thinking, many years later, that I wished I’d kept the playbills. Also wish I’d kept the individual, autographed (probably machine autographed) pictures of each member of President Kennedy’s family that I wrote away for when Kennedy was in the White House (actually, I dont recall if I got John John’s photo, but I know i had the Pres, Mrs. K and Caroline- Hey- lets start a thread re: things you wish you hadn’t thrown away, so as not to hijack this thread.</p>
<p>Oh, my first musical was John Davidson in “Oklahoma,” ooh, what a crush I had on him back then, I think it was at the Kenley Players in Ohio in the early 70’s. Yummy!</p>
<p>I saw The Osmonds on Oprah yesterday. Go to Oprah.com to watch. </p>
<p>Saw Kenny Loggins at the Rachael Ray Show last spring. He said he wrote “House at Pooh Corner” in class in HS. DDs were surprised that he wrote “FootLoose”. </p>
<p>The years have not been as kind to Kenny as they have to The Osmonds…

<p>Well, that helps explain it. I hated that song. You can get diabetes just listening to it. I kept thinking “These guys are rock stars? This is supposed to be a rock song? This is more like Sesame Street!”</p>
