A fun shot of Ms. Ross

Why do I always imagine Big Bird crying in a corner with a big old shaved bald spot on his back when I see that shot?

All kidding aside, I can't wait for the solo years tonight. See everyone then!

In your imagination, is Big Bird wearing THOSE shoes??? Or are the members of the Eagles?

[carole cucumber]

As Diana says in the pictures [[posts 2/3, 5/6, and 7 ) "It's a wrap". Looking forward to parte/party part 2.

[midnight johnny]

What if David B Abbot is trying to call you?

I still can't talk to you and him at the same time. I just cahhhn't............

[carole cucumber]

An interesting side question- As "Ross [[78)" saw a recent release via Culture Factory, was Diana smoking a Doral cigarette on the cover?

[RossHolloway]

Atlanta is in the house!!

[carole cucumber]

Artichoked hearts- wellllll.... it depends on who was handling them.

[carole cucumber]

Atlanta is in the house!!

The whole city is in your house???? In WOMR's studio????

[carole cucumber]

The Mandante knows all the dialogue.....I'm impressed.

[midnight johnny]

The whole city is in your house???? In WOMR's studio????

Yeah....kinda tight!! Bobby....great to see you!!!!!!!

[Glenpwood]

Is it a sign of obsession that I just recited the entire Big Ben skit perfectly?

[carole cucumber]

No, Glen, just that you & Johnny are on your D.R. game!

[midnight johnny]

Now...I wanna hear THAT!!!!!!! Pleeeezzz?

[carole cucumber]

Now...I wanna hear THAT!!!!!!! Pleeeezzz?

You can't. He'd recite it to you over the phone but you wouldn't pick up! Perhaps he can make a YouTube video and send it to you.

[Glenpwood]

No, Glen, just that you & Johnny are on your D.R. game!

Well put, Carole. Anyone know if we will be getting an extended tribute to Mahogany tonight because i will need a few glasses of wine to numb myself if I am gonna drip candlewax on my chest in homage.....

[carole cucumber]

I's from my mom & dad...come to think about it, they did a lot of gardening, vegetable & flower, so you may know more about it than I do!!!

[midnight johnny]

You can't. He'd recite it to you over the phone but you wouldn't pick up! Perhaps he can make a YouTube video and send it to you.

Wowwwww Ouch!!!! [[*smile)

I know that this is Diana's night , but will Jean, Mary, & Cindy be slipping in the back door as guest dripees?

So, Soph, since Doral was so supportive of Diana in the early days of her solo career, is that one of their cigarettes?

[carole cucumber]

I really missed the Andantes on that version of "I'm Still Waiting" and Mary & Flo/Mary & Cindy on that version of "Somewhere".

[kenneth]

Kenneth tuning in late as usual!

Don't know. Maybe it's Medical Marijuana?

John;
Didn't forget about this evening. Had a "jones" to go to a local thrift store chain, and in the vinyl record bins I found a very nice condition British release of the Diana! TV Special Soundtrack with the laminated cover for $1.99. Of course today being a discount day for those of "a certain age", I got a 30% break. Now I can get down and listen to your Diana Ross Tribute Part II with a satisfied mind.

[carole cucumber]

Johnny,
Andy did reveal on your show that Harry, George & he had pitched a Diana Ross live box set- but it was not to be.

[daviddh]

hello John to everyone, Baltimore here

[MotownLover]

I know I'm MIGHTY LATE, but I finally made it!

Howdy!

Why is this small boy so excited at his 7th birthday? Because if you stare closely there is a small cassette wrapped on the table by his birthday cake to go with his new tape player. What was that tape? Why Do Fools Fall In Love by Diana Ross, which was my first DR album and led to a lifetime love of her voice and all the Supremes....

[Glenpwood]

David, great to hear you on the air and what wonderful shows you've put together for us!

[vgalindo]

Johnny,
Andy did reveal on your show that Harry, George & he had pitched a Diana Ross live box set- but it was not to be.

That's too bad. That is something that I have always dreamed of.

Sir Mark....hello! Great finds!!!! Great to see you!!!

[carole cucumber]

Oh my goodness... you've just revealed your secret identity. If you were smiling so excitedly because of the small wrapped present which you say you knew to be the cassette version of Why Do Fools Fall In Love by Diana Ross, you must have x-ray vision.
So using it now, tell us what Johnny is wearing in the studio.

[carole cucumber]

Glen,
it appears that your mom was somewhat camera-shy. My mom was too. You can tell by the way they try to hide behind someone.
