31 online

Hello, John. I had noticed that large number almost as it happened, as I was online within the next few minutes. I have considered these two possible explanations : - there was an electronic problem, resulting in visitors to one phpBB website being added to the count on this one. - a large number of...

Movie

Yes, these are the only songs Ruby sings in the movie. "O'Malley's Tango" alone is worth the cost. "In Love" is just as good (on Ruby's part), but interrupted visually. These songs can be previewed in the Video section of the Library, thanks to videos uploaded by Gerald, but it's nice to have the wh...

A Touch of the Gem, for sure

Having received my "A Touch of the Sun" DVD on Thursday, I watched it all on Friday, and have just watched the last segment again. It's convenient to be able to choose a part of the film to watch, so we can just pick those parts with Ruby. For me, the highlight of the movie is Ruby's "O'Malley's Tan...

Music for Frank

Hi, Bernie.

Were you able to complete your member registration on eBay? If so, the sheet music for many of Ruby's songs is available on eBay UK.

If you're not an eBay member yet, perhaps Frank is. I hope he soon finds what he needs.

Good luck. Ralph

"My Precious Gem" book reviews

Hello to you all. I was thinking of posting a review of Bernie's book, but will wait until some members closer to Ruby & Bernie have done so. Come now, let's hear what you have to say about this totally enthralling story. I'll say just this - I couldn't put the book down, and as I finished it, I had...

Video

Hello, Gerald.

Your video is excellent, with clear audio.
Well done.

Thanks from one of those fans who couldn't be there.

Bernie's book

Hi, Tim.

Bernie advised me that the book is available on Amazon, and I have ordered one from Amazon.Canada, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting one.

More photos?

Hello, Gerald. I would suggest that members show their photos as I displayed the videocam images of 'The Gang at City Hall' (to save storage space). One can make a Word file, and Insert his images into it. Then, using his FTP program, put that file on his free web space (provided by most ISPs). Fina...

Clarification of date

Hi, everyone. In the file to which I referred you in my first note on this topic, I said that we didn't know if the the Variety press clipping was from 1949 or the following year. To settle this matter, I found a website which provides calendars for years gone by, and saw that the Variety Show must ...

Problem with prior topic 'My Story'

Sorry, folks.
I have no idea why my prior topic won't open.
I can't even get into it to delete it.
I'll have to ask Timmer to get rid of it.
Cheers. Ralph

My story about Ruby and Larry Peters (Jim McGarry)

Bernie has sent me a little more documentation about Ruby's earlier days as a singer: images of the programme for the Grand Farewell concert on May 3, 1949, and of an advert. for another Variety Show at about the same time. Of course, I especially appreciate these images because they add to my earli...

Gang at City Hall webcam shots

Hello Ruby’s fans.
After the gathering of the “Gang at City Hall” (as JK named them), I eagerly anticipate seeing dozens of photos from this gathering, and from the ceremony at Ulster Hall.
Best wishes to you all.

Best time for WebCam

Hi, Gerald.

It really doesn't matter to me. Whatever time is best for the WebCam shots, and for all of you, I'll be online watching every image, and saving several of them.

I'm looking forward to it.
Regards.
Ralph
