Hugh Jackman Stops Show When Cell Phone Rings

" Hugh Jackman knows how to stop the show. He did it recently when a cell phone call interrupted a preview performance of "A Steady Rain," the Broadway play that stars Jackman and Daniel Craig...

...It shows Jackman breaking character to tell the owner of the ringing cell phone, "You want to get that?" as the audience erupts in cheers. As the ringing persists, Jackman pleads: "Come on, just turn it off." He then paces the stage of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, waits about a minute for the ringing to stop and the play resumes. "

Aint that somethin'? You do realize that this has never ever happened before in the entire history of people on this planet. A private phone call from the crowd? In the middle of a play? Just think about that for minute...

Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers

I guess San Francisco is famous for being kinda crazy. That's what I always hear, anyway. I couldn't really help but notice the name of this particular outfit. It kinda sticks to the roof of your mouth when you say it.

Hmmmmm...kinda reminds me of this group:

Alright, y'all take care now...

Here's what they are sayin' about Lavay Smith:

" When it came time for Lavay Smith to pick a venue to celebrate the release of her group's new album, the ravishing San Francisco jazz singer didn't have to look far. It had to be Cafe Du Nord, the same spot she once played sold-out shows every week for nearly 10 years..."

A song for Obama

Hey y'all. Howz the week so far? I hope you have forgotten something today. And when you remember, I hope it brings a smile to you. Or if it doesn't bring you joy, I hope you have a way to smile anyway. Like these classic blues singers do. They might have things that bring them joy or sadness. But the way they sing seems to get them through another day. That's all we can do sometimes. Hmmmm...I can imagine the statue of liberty singin' this song to any president.
Aint that a strange thing to imagine?
Anyway...
Y'all make some time for yourselves today.
And think about what I said....
