    I would WOOHOO about your appearance in WE, Lisa, but I've recently been told there's no woohooing in the Mellow Room. Plus a loud woohoo might split Ursula's poor head right open. Anyway, rest up!

    Miss C, please stop from going into WE. It just annoys people on purpose and you don't need that right now.

    I love them all so much. My SP gave me the greatest Keely Smith CD and I love it so much. I've taken to belting out Keely in the car on the way home. I can't sing a note, but that doesn't keep me from it. I wonder if the people in the other cars can here me?

    You can't see from this picture, but if you look at the cup from above, it's slighly heart-shaped. There's a pic in their newest catalog.

    Her voice is just amazing, it's no wonder Louis married her. She has such a range and control.

    You know her voice from "Autumn Leaves." She also is the female voice on "Just a Gigalo" (Louis' version, not David Lee Roth's version*).

    She is just past 80 now, and still belts out an amazing tone. We saw her live for the first time on Oct. 30th at the Cinegrill. She wished us a happy 4th Wedding Anniversary and I cried because she spoke to me. I just adore her.

    Louis and Keely had a show in Las Vegas that was so popular, the Rat Pack (et al) went to L&K's show after their own shows finished. It was very cool to spend the early hours of the day still rocking out to Louis and Keely.

    Sam Butera was Louis and Keely's sax player, and he's also still playing as of last year. Nice guy. He gave me an autograph and was thrilled that my husband and I knew him.

    *although Dave's version is almost note-for-note to Louis'.
