Welcome to Divaville!

Divaville is a swellegant evening of music which airs every Wednesday from 6-9pm (Pacific) on KMHD-FM Portland 89.1 FM.

Divaville now has a MySpace page!

The next Divaville Listeners Party will be Tuesday, September 23 at 7pm, at Tony Starlight's Supper Club and Lounge.

Here are a few of my current YouTube obsessions:

I love the fashion show in this Julie London video! Yowza!!!

I adore Gene Kelly in "Singin' In The Rain", but Donald O'Connor steals the show in this bit. He's simply phenomenal.

This is an incredibly, tragically brief snippet of Tony Starlight's Dean Martin birthday tribute show. Tony completely embodies every character he takes on, and his Dean Martin had us rolling in the aisles.

I love the joy in the faces (and voices!) of Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye! Even if you don't know anything about classical composers, I think you'll still groove on the cleverness of the lyrics.

I end every week's show with a tune by Betty Hutton. A lot of people ask why I'm so fond of this relatively obscure movie actress. Perhaps this video will help explain my obsession:
