Jimmy Durante

Anyone here "young enough" to remember Jimmy Durante and his famous saying: "Good Night Mrs Calabash ... where ever you are!"

Well I have an older Sister that I have not seen nor heard from since the late 70's (long story and not worth the time to explain). So today, I would just like to say:

Happy Birthday Joann Young ... where ever you are!

Hey Blondie...I do remember Jimmy and his famous saying. Always wondered what it meant...maybe a long lost love?

There are so many shows that I have forgotten about but all it takes is someone to use a song or show a video to bring them all back, ya know?

Thanks for the memories...

Jim,

I think I saw the info in google about where the phrase came from. But I didn't take the time to investigate, sorry.

And "Thanks for the memories" also :) You know what I mean.

I love those old classics with Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, so I´m in your team of the oldies´ Blondie.

Thanks for the video!

I do remember Jimmy Durante - not sure why - so about tells you!

How thoughtful of you to acknowledge your sister and remember her birthday. Let's all put out to the universe "Happy Birthday " to her and likely her ears will tingle.

Have a good day all !!

Hey Mattias,
Remember Jimmy Durante and his "ha cha cha cha", while shaking his big nose? Cute as heck eh?

Hi Myrna,
It is funny the things we remember or relate it to. Of course I remember her birthday but like I said, I have no clue where she is today.

Take care you two!
