B.J. Thomas Live

posted by Nell Minow

We saw B.J. Thomas perform at the Birchmere tonight. His voice is marvel, wonderfully clear and supple. He sang all the hits, “Hooked on a Feeling,” “Rock and Roll Lullabye,” “Eyes of a New York Woman,” “Don’t Worry Baby,” “Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song,” and of course “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head,” from “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”

I loved it when he sang my very favorite, “Mighty Clouds of Joy” — with spirit that filled the room with some mighty clouds of joy of his own. Check out his tour dates to see if you can get a ticket.

Fast & Furious 6
The storylines of the "Fast and Furious" franchise may be preposterous, but what's even harder to believe is that, contrary to the history of just about every other multi-sequel series and what I thought were the laws of nature, these keep getting better. There's something of a pattern at this point

What Maisie Knew
She has the face of a flower and she still believes that the world is an enchanted place that cannot hurt her.  She does not understand what is going on around her, but we do. Her name is Maisie (the exquisite Onata Aprile).  She is seven and she lives in New York with her parents, a fading roc

Interview: Scott McGehee and David Siegel of "What Maisie Knew"
"What Maisie Knew" is a touching, beautifully acted new movie starring Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan as a couple breaking up but the story is seen through the eyes of their little girl.  I spoke to the directors, Scott McGehee and David Siegel, about the film.  Remarkably, though it is set in th

Contest: Bink & Gollie
I am always especially excited to have one of the fabulous Scholastic Storybook DVDs to give away, and this one is extra important for families because it is about what it means to be a friend.  This all-new compilation is headlined by “Bink & Gollie” from Kate DiCamillo, the Newbery Medal

The Hangover Part III
Let's hope that this movie is the much-needed stake in the heart to the triligization of popular movies (okay, with an exception for Richard Linklater's "Before" series and "Toy Story").  I began to think of the three films as a shell game, with the pea of novelty and humor under just one shell, an

O the Birchmere!!! What a magnificent place – if only more folks in the DC area appreciated this gem. We saw our favorite gorup, Schooner Fare there a few times, as well as at the Barns at Wolftrap and the Filene Center too. But there is something about the Birchmere that comes close to capturing the spirit of the folk places of the 60′s and 70′s.
BJ Thomas is a voice I have not heard for a while – except from the Butch Cassidy soundtrack. It is a voice from my high school soundtrack.

Isn’t that funny– I just saw BJ Thomas recently myself. My wife took me for my birthday, and I had a wonderful, wonderful time. His voice was as beautiful as ever. Lots of golden memories.
