Vera Ellen was the actress in 'White Christmas'. Don't know who Very Lynn is. I hate to dash your hopes but Carly's 'Someone Waits for You' is a different song. I'm not sure where it comes from originally but it is on her box set 'Clouds in My Coffee'. I have a vague recollection of Carly singing 'I'll Be Seeing You'. I saw the movie 'Swing Shift' years ago but I don't remember hearing it then.

Has a much stronger voice than I expected from that little thing. Angst filled version, very nice. Indeed. Wait a darn minute, more angels. Must have been an MGM production. >>> Vera Lynn was considered the sweetheart of the armed forces in World War II England. She was popular on the radio and would "send out" messages to troops from loved ones at home. She was the first British artist to make it to number one on the American charts (at that time there were no chart compilations in England) with a song called "Auf Wiedersehn Sweetheart". She remained popular in England for years and I remember listening to her when I was a child as we had no television and the radio was a daily staple. Some of you might have heard one of her hits "The White Cliffs of Dover"... you know "There'll be blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover..." That was the one I will always remember. Just a little FYI. Cassy ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 18:05:45 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: re: ill be seeing you njc Hi Mack, A person can only take so much. I did a similiar thing back in 2001 but for different reasons. You did what you felt you had to do. So just sit back and exhale for awile and wait for the new adventure that's coming around the corner!!! Sherelle Mack wrote: Anyone in the nursing or healthcare fields is aware of what a mess it is. I quit my job, finally, after being unable to handle the lack of staff for one more day. Applications have been placed and now have some time to sit back and do as little as I want to do.

I am at it again. Can't find the Ronstadt or Cole version as of yet. Did find some more though that didn't show up yesterday. As for nursing, yes, it is a mess. They want more and more and more and want quality care for the patients, they say. At the latest version of a job I had they dropped two nurses, leaving me and one other for 100 patients, two med. aides, and three or four nursing aides, depending on who showed up, which was usually not many. Been going on for months, the shortage of help. I had finally had enough. Too dangerous to be responsible for that many people at once, at different, very far, parts of the building. Money, money, money. That is the name of the game. A shame. - --Brenda Lee- She does a pretty good job with the tune until she starts to talk some of the lyrics while the chorus ah-ah's in the background. Her voice rather grates on me and whenever I hear her sing anything all I can hear, in my head, is 'i'm sorry.' - --Little Jimmy Scott- Who in the heck is this? Oh my goodness. This person sounds like a chick. Then again, I always thought the marvelous lead singer of the Stylistics was a woman until I saw him singing. Jimmy Scott sounds drunk. Just awful. Whoever his long away one is should stay gone. Glenn Miller--Expected orchestral arrangement only but there is an unknown female singer on this one. She does a fair job. The music is boring. I would not have done well in the big band era. Probably would have been sneaking off to the darker places where roaches and homos went then. Robert Goulet- On the rare, rare occasions when music was played on the hi-fi, while growing up, by someone other than we kids I heard of couple of Goulet tunes. The one that stands out is 'can you hear what I hear.' Always liked that one. He has a great voice and does a really good job with this tune. I suppose I am getting ever older by the folks I listen to these days although I liked them when I was a child. Mantovani- I clearly remember an album from this person or group or whatever it, they are, were. It sat there throughout all those years and never once saw anyone play it. My mother did not listen to music, nor my father. They simply were not interested and cannot remember them doing anything in the way of what I would call entertainment. They were always working. This is elevator music I surmise, however; it is very popular and within minutes of my adding it to my library today, it had 90 hits. Dean Martin- Figured he would do a good job. Not so much. Sounds as if he had one too many martinis. Peter Nero- Another unknown to me. Definitely elevator music. No vocal. Definitely awful and now I feel as if I am ready to have the tooth pulled; and they need some new magazines. Ray Charles- Not!!!!!! He tries to sing the second half of the tune as a soprano. Shit. Embarrassing. Francoise Hardy and Iggy Pop- Was, sort of, looking forward to this one. Had no idea of who Hardy was and have never heard Iggy Pop sing. Have only seen pics of him and was mortified. She is apparently French. He has a deep voice but not particularly talented in my estimation. An upbeat version, with a beatnik beat bongo's I believe, in the background. Not a keeper. mack p.s. and i never want to hear that tune again. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 20:59:25 -0500 From: "mack watson-bush" Subject: Re: ill be seeing you njc cassy wrote: Vera Lynn was considered the sweetheart of the armed forces in World War II > England.
