RIP: Canada’s ‘Pet,’ Juliette (Cavazzi)
Juliette Augustina Cavazzi (née Sysak), CM, singer, entertainer, and television host made her CBC Saturday night music variety program Juliette (1956–66) one of Canada’s most popular television shows. Over her career, she was honoured as Member of the Order of Canada, the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame. (FYI Music)
Question: What Do Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen Have in Common? Answer: Suzanne Sheridan
Yes, both men are songwriters; yes, they are both musical icons of the latter half of the 20th century; yes, both are standard-bearers for human rights; yes, they both had multiple life-partners. But what they solidly have in common is singer/performer Suzanne Sheridan. Few women have attempted to conquer the oeuvre of even one of these men much less both in the time frame of less than a month. But no one has ever accused Suzanne Sheridan of being timid in her approach to music. (Hamilton Hub)

Good mourning!
Good Hallow’s Eve (‘s Day, I guess).
Not here today. Off to the fambly cottage to see how things are, after all this rain (many effects in our area). With any luck, there’ll be power…
hello
Amusing, David Frum’s being interviewed on CBC R1, and his computer is on, and pinging occasionally (for instance as a FB notice). Modern times. Ah, I think he’s muted it now.
Happy Halloween! Anyone dressing up?
Not I. I’m doing my best (hah!) not to be here, going to the cottage.
I am dressed as a tired nerd
@Garf – you too?
it’s my go to outfit
I did think of being a sexy nerd but that sounded like too much work
I usually go as a nerdy nerd, but thought the tired factor would mix it up a little 🙂
BOO!
Did Funhug scare everyone away?
hey.
I may go to my vampire costume to hand out candy, because it’s easy. we’ll see. we don’t get that many kids
Did the pirate for the swing dance this past weekend. Dancing with an eye patch on is tough.
Sooo, I’m a huge procrastinator, and haven’t purchased our Halloween candy yet. I keep seeing these maps that will show what the popular candy in each state, so I clicked on a couple of them. According to two different maps I need to stock up on either York Peppermint Patties or Snickers on the way home.
The only time I have come in contact with a Peppermint Patty is watching Snoopy cartoons
