So, the seven reveals about Madame Perry.
* I've riden a camel in the Canary Islands.
* I prefer driving a car with a manual transmission.
* Six times I've sung The Star Spangled Banner at the Monster Truck Jam Event in the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Center.
* One should never deny while in my presence that Rosalind Russell was the only true Auntie Mame.
2011 - Mme Perry and Monster Truck 'Reptoid' |
* It continually astounds me that I have met so many fun, fascinating and delightful people through blogs and social media.
* It also astounds me that over the course of four years I hung out with my jazz idol Anita O'Day more times than I can count in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Richard Blandford's Hound Blog - The author of Hound Dog and Flying Saucer Rock & Roll has a blog as dry and funny to me as his tweets which are not unlike a rubber band snap. A great writer, but I also love that, like me, he values finding old books.

Why Madame Perry...you make me blush! And I can so see you riding a camel, and strangely enough an ostrich! Kiss, Kiss...and thank you!
Congrats on your award! I enjoyed reading the facts about you. I also prefer manual cars and most people think I am crazy because of it! Glad to know I am not alone. How cool that you have been able to hand out with one of your favorite musicians so many times!
You get to hang out with Anita O'Day? And I just get Uncle Billy, sheeeesh.
Congratulations! It is so fun to win awards like that and I really enjoy reading your blog so far! :)
