  1. I like Katherine Kelly, but when I see her name associated with a new drama, I immediately think… “dark, depressing, crime, doom, gloom….”. It’s not just KK though tbf. Why oh why can’t we see something lighter for a change? ((CLICK))

  2. For me, the joy of being a songwriter has often come from hearing performances of a song by different singers. Tony Orlando just sent me Ben E. King’s soulful recording of this song that Gerry Goffin and I wrote that Tony made famous. (cont'd in comments)
