"You ain't seen nothing yet"
These bloogers are the immortal words of one of the greatest showmen, and a talented jazz musician ever to tread the boards on Broadway! His name is Al Jolson, and by listening to my CD of the musicial that tells his story, I am beginning to understand more about someone I had never heard of before, and because it is a musicial and you know my love of the stage, I am enjoying it greatly.
By listening to the songs on the Cd you get to find out more about him and the people he worked with and who he got songs from like Gershwin, and also others who he knew like Ruby Keeler who he sung with that was a true Broadway doll, and then to have lost his mother at a time when he was starting out must have been hard for him like I did, so he wrote her a song which is a famous song called "My Mammy" .
It's a sahme I didn't go to watch Brian Conley in this musical as it would have been good to find out more about Al Jolson, but this musical captures all the magic of this great showman just by listening to the music that comes from the actors and actresses who perform it brilliantly.
To quote Al Jolson and his words "You ain't seen nothing yet"

Now, I know who said those famous words :)
I've heard that phrase so often.
I'm trying to think of what other phrases I've heard too.
