Just a request...

...for y'all to keep our area of Central Alabama in thoughts and prayers, as ANOTHER tornado came through early Monday Morning, resulting in at least 2 fatalities and many injured, along with extensive damage... this 'track' was about 5 miles or so to the north of us, but still way too close for comfort, and with all the folks in our town very gun shy regarding tornadoes at this point anyway, it's gonna be a long spring, unfortunately...

Thanks, y'all - hope everyone is doing well out there!

...GingerTunes setup...HELP!!!

...I know a lot of y'all have music lists on your blogs...SOOOOO...does ANYONE have any suggestions on how to put tunes on a blog? I know I have the two 'pods' on the right over there, but honestly not sure how I set them up (theOGRE did a bunch of that...).
I actually downloaded Yahoo Media Player on the NBABOH blog, which seems like it would be cool, as it plays tunes AND videos... but, it appears tunes have to be on a 'host site'...which one of those puppies is best, for free of course...ANY info will be greatly appreciated!
-----
BTW, the Chance at Heaven review is close, just screen caps needed... should be a trip trying to set up a 'cap story' line for this one... it still just irks me as to how Ginger 'lays down' in this one...weird.
-----
Well, hope nobody has any trouble with the storms rolling thru the nation's mid-section tonight...we are supposed to have some striong storms here, which obviously gets folks here a bit more skittish than usual after last April... so hopefully nothing big occurs...

..hey, this is the 200th post for G-ology!!! Well, this particular post is not too 'prolific', but...a milestone nevertheless!!!

KIG, y'all!!!

Tight Spot on DVD...

...as part of the third installment of the TCM Vault Collection of Film Noir Classics - all Columbia Pictures features... Here's the link:


Columbia Pictures Film Noir Classics III - TCM Vault Collection

This one is a pretty interesting one, if you haven't seen it... Ginger's role is pretty major in this one, as she's the 'center of attention'... she plays Sherry Conley (I've always dug the name 'Sherry'...and it works for Ginger, too...), a prisoner who is 'released into police custody' as a potential 'star witness' in a mob boss trial...but of course the mob makes it interesting, to say the least...
Ginger is awesome in it, to be expected (she loved role types folks didn't expect her to play), but...dang that Bergerac giving her that hairstyle! It just throws off the whole 'GingerExperience' for me, just a bit, anyway...but heck, the pic below really shows how she 'transcends' the 'do, and still just radiates...

And as a 'side note', Ginger was 44 when she made this one, which is the current age as Huey...so that's pretty cool from where I sit, anyway...AND, y'all know how I dig the 'middle-aged' Ginger anyway, so... there ya go.

This one gets pretty good airplay on TCM (it was on just a few days ago...), but, being the raving Gingerologist that I am, I will most likely pop on this...hopefully there will be some 'extra features' or at least a bit of commentary... 'General Commentary' is noted from Martin Scorsese, so that's something... he's a BIG advocate of film restoration, so aces to Mr Scorsese!
-----
OK - what's ahead? Well, 'Change of Heart' is on the clock for Review #20... should be done with it by week's end, Saturday at the latest... and, I also am wanting to 'revamp' the audio section of the site... the audio of 'Ginger: My Story' will remain, but GingerTunes needs a bit of tweaking... I just need to sit down and sort out all the tunes I have, many of which need to be 'transferred' from LP... hopefully I can get started on that...
-----
Hope all of y'all are having a great week, and getting back to 'normal'...

KIG, y'all!

...GingerCar on display...

 Ginger's 1929 Model J Duesenberg (one of only 481 built, and the ONLY one with a fully retractable roof) will be on display at the Seventeenth Annual Amelia Island (Florida) Concours d'Elegance, from March 9-11, 2012.

 This is an awesome car in and of itself, but how do you put a price tag on ANYTHING owned by Ginger? ...AND, which also appeared in the movie "The Gay Divorcee?" According to the link, this very car was the one used in the movie by Mimi Glossop, Ginger's character... and it definitely matches the caps I took of the movie, as you can see:

There's a few differences, the biggest is that Ginger had whitewalls on it, while it currently does not... also, currently the vehicle has two taillights, whereas the original had one...that's to meet current DOT requirements, I assume... but other than that, it's a dead ringer!

Here's a link to the event, from Old Cars Weekly .com:

Amelia Island info regarding Ginger's 1929 Model J Duesenberg

...here's ANOTHER GingerEvent that I would LOVE to go to, but may be hard in theory...even though Florida (Amelia Island is right at the state line between Florida and Georgia, at the Atlantic Coast) is definitely a 'doable' trip from South Gingerville, as compared to Oregon or Boston! But, I'm not sure if I 'qualify' for admission to Amelia Island...hm...maybe I can swing a 'press pass' for Gingerology!  ...wonder how close they are allowed to put a Days Inn from a Ritz-Carlton? :-]

KIG, y'all!

Allright, y'all, you asked for it...

...well, probably not... BUT - here it is, anyway!!!

...an invitation to peruse (and hopefully 'follow') Huey's NEW blog, "Nothing But A Bunch Of Huey!"

HERE is the link:

Nothing But A Bunch Of Huey!!!

Hopefully, y'all will find it...interesting... and of course, any suggestions for the site will be appreciated! I look to have a 'daily' post, even if for just a few random goofy issues... so it may prove to be pretty entertaining...or at least a creative waste of time...

-----

Meanwhile, there are a few topics needing to be addressed in Gingerology, so stay tuned here as well, of course...

Y'all KIG!!!
