Maureen O'Hara's Voice

On this St. Patrick's Day, I want to congratulate Irish actress Maureen O'Hara for her beautiful singing voice. Although I'm a fan of O'Hara's acting and always looked forward to her movies (wasn't technicolor invented just for her?), I had no idea she's also a trained singer.

After watching and listening to her lovely rendition of "Look to the Rainbow" on a recent PBS presentation, I'm very sorry she never got her wish to star in one of those big MGM musicals. What a treat it would be to hear her sing a variety of numbers on the big screen!

Happy St. Paddy's Day, Maureen.

Wowed by Josh Groban Again

When my husband and I first saw Josh Groban in TV's Ally McBeal, we could hardly believe our ears. We were stunned by his terrific voice! So, of course, we watched for his other appearances and bought his albums.

Still, we were surprised by the power of Groban's vocals and acting ability in the recent PBS presentation of Chess -- in Concert. He has grown into a performer of great depth and sensitivity. And his voice just gets better and better.

Like Oliver Twist, we want "More, please."
