Guys and Dolls While out to dinner with my wife last night, a tune came over the restaurant's sound system that took me back in time.
It was the title tune from the Broadway musical... ![]() ...Guys and Dolls When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky You can bet that he's doing it for some doll. When you spot a John waiting out in the rain Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane. When you meet a gent paying all kinds of rent For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal. Call it sad, call it funny. But it's better than even money That the guy's only doing it for some doll. Other tunes from this record that stick in my memory... Fugue for Tinhorns The Oldest Established A Bushel and a Peck Adelaide's Lament Luck Be a Lady Sue Me Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat Marry the Man Today ...This record was part of my Dad's collection and have fond memories of hearing it as a kid. This musical is based on Damon Runyon styled NYC criminal/gambling characters of the 30s. The film version starred Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, Jean Simmons and *Sheldon Leonard *(later became producer and/or director for hit TV Shows - Danny Thomas, Dick Van Dyke, Andy Griffith, My Favorite Martian and I Spy ) Don't expect very many folks to have even heard of this, but who knows. I got a kick out of hearing it again after so many years. tA ![]() http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

I saw it at the West End with Jane Krakowski and Ewan Macgregor last year. Went out and bought the movie the next week. | |
