Menu Planning


In 1970, after turning down the role of Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch, Jones was the producers' first choice to audition for the lead role of Shirley Partridge in The Partridge Family. - Wikipedia


Shirley Jones, a frequent leading lady,

Was nearly cast to act as Mrs. Brady.


Would that have meant (as certainly my hunch is),

That partridge would appear at Brady brunches?

Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O. S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and organist.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make a Joyful Noise


Leipzig observed tempus clausum, quiet time, in Advent and Lent, when no cantatas were performed. – Wikipedia, s.v.”Church cantata (Bach)”


When Bach and his choir were bent

On breaking the quiet of Lent.

He sat on his keister

And wrote stuff for Easter,

That would make it a noisy event.
