Never mind the gay cowboys - it's Peabo!

[crazydiamondsue]

So you know how I've been thinking about hosting a gathering of slash writers/readers to coincide with the Gay Rodeo Finals to be held here in Oklahoma City next May? No? Oh. Well, I've been thinking about it. But never mind the gay cowboys, I just got an email from the student affairs office informing me that our college is scheduled to have a very special performance this November, get your tickets now for...

Peabo Bryson! Yes, Peabo! The man who brought us the over-mixed duets of "A Whole New World" and "Beauty and the Beast," and other fine Disney-for-grown-ups tunes, as far as I know. C'mon - just say it: Peabo. Peee-Bow.

Okay, adis723 has Sunday Morning 9, and as soon as she thinks of a nice way to say, "this blows," she'll send it back and I'll let you all have a crack at it. It was hard to write. It made my butt clench.

wasn't "A Whole New World" Aaron Neville? is it sad that this is my immediate reaction to your post?

A challenge to the soundtrack queen? :::big, booming theatrical laugh::: Nope, that was Peabo & Regina Belle. Does my geekdom know no limits? 'Tis true.
(Keep in mind I had songs from "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Les Mis" played as the prelude at my wedding. See: why 21 year-olds shouldn't marry.)

I know, I must be insane.

didn't Aaron Neville do one of them, though?

I'll get to it in a bit, the kid's should be a-nappin' soon.

BTW: In my 5 grade talent show my friends and I sang 'A Whole New World' :: shudder ::

Oh and... Dork.

See...this is why you're lucky that you're 10 years younger than me. I had to sing songs in the 80s that had sucked in the 70s. ("You Light Up My Life," "Muskrat Love.":::shudder:::) Alan Mencken wouldn't come around until I was graduating from high school. I'd sing Disney over Captain & Tenielle any day.
No rush on the story. I can't decide if I like this chapter or not. It made Eddie cry, but I almost deleted the whole thing. :(

Personally? I prefer the gay cowboys! ::grin::

Re: Gay Cowboys
Yeah me, too. I just think Peabo's funny...working on your story, btw. My beta is tickled at the idea of Gay Rodeo....

Throw in a Peaches & Herb (the 2nd Peaches was the best, IMO) and I'm THERE.

I am totally kidding and I have changed my opinion of you entirely. Hee!!

Did I mention his duet partner is Courtney Love? I didn't? Well, their rendition of "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" is something to see. Or so I'm told.
C'mon...bring back the love!

And it goes a little something like this... Hit it!

Does it involve the soul-try sounds of Motown mixed with her "keeping the puke barely in" caterwaul? 'Cause I am fucking THERE!!
