Even if he had just written "White Christmas" the man would still be a legend! I love your informative piece on him and your appreciation for this great artist. At a book sale, I came across the 1946 sheet music for "There's No Business Like Show Business." It is among one of my most prized possessions. <br /><br />Also, I have nominated you for The Sunshine Blogger Award!

Howard and Steve both guest starred on Murder, She Wrote as I stated earlier.

Have you seen all of the movies that Ginger did with Fred Astaire? Ive only seen a few. The first one that I saw was their last one THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY. It was from 1949 and was the only one in color. It was also made for MGM and came out ten years after they stopped doing their musicals for RKO. Also THE STORY OF VERNON AND IRENE CASTLE was interesting, it was the only movie they did that was about real-life people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-74675040234441324392019-02-26T04:47:16.129-08:002019-02-26T04:47:16.129-08:00I admire Ginger Rogers immensely.
