This is a story of a young woman, Dee Dee, a florist, who loves Doris Day and who hopes to meet a dashing and distinguished man, just like a leading man in a Doris Day movie. She connects with a young man, Adrian, on the Internet, but when she meets him in person, she realizes that he is a would be gangsta rapper and therefore not her type.
He on the other hand is very interested in pursuing a relationship since he finds her both very attractive and he has made a bet that he can seduce her.
He convinces her to give him a chance She does so but he has to perform 3 tasks which are totally uncool for a rapper. Despite his initial reluctance, he is willing because he has a bet to win and he starts to care for her.

This is a true urban fairy tale where , like prince of yore, Adrian has to perform 3 heroic tasks to win the princess, Dee Dee. The road is indeed thorny, especially when she finds out about his deception just as they are starting to have feelings for each other.

TUNE IN TO WWW.FREDNETRADIO.COM AND PRESS “LISTEN RIGHT HERE”. THEN ENJOY!”

Thanks Mike. I heard some of the excerpts on You Tube. Sounds great.

In April we celebrated Doris’ Birthday in Carmel in grand style with a whole bunch of Doris Day friends and fans. We had a great time.

In June I went to Oxford and had a chance , thanks to a a very special person, to talk to Doris. Doris sounded wonderful, as though she was there with us in the living room. She was having a great time and so were we.

I got a lovely letter from Doris that I will cherish forever.

In an interview, Diane Keaton stated that Doris inspired her to become an actress.
Keith Urban listens to Doris Day songs before he performs. He says that it centers him.

Nellie McKay made a Doris Day tribute album. She has appeared on several radio shows and always speaks glowingly about Doris.
Several tribute shows have been dedicated to Doris, both in the US and the UK.

Anne Murray, in her new book, “All of Me”, writes about her visit with her idol, Doris, in Carmel, and how she finds Doris to be one of the greatest singers of all times. We,the fans, agree.

Pillow Talk was selected for the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress (Washington DC), along with the THriller, The Muppet Movie, Dog Day Afternoon and other selections. Pillow Talk is considered the role model for other romantic comedies. Doris Day was described as effervescent and one of the best light comediennes of cinema.

You Tube is full of Doris Day videos. Some of the best ones are from Dayniac.

My movie is coming along well. Still tweaking it. If all goes well, I’ll be showing it in Carmel. Doris is my muse.

So this is it. The highlights of the year. If you have any Doris Day memories to share, be my guest.

Happy New Year to Everybody! Much Health and Happiness to Doris Day for being herself, a great person, an animal activist and a role model. Same to all my Doris Day Friends and to All who stumble upon this site.
See you All in 2010.

Hopefully, Doris will continue blogging. Her message is very important. How we treat the vulnerable in our society,domestic animals are totally dependent on us for their well being, is a reflection of our true humanity. It is a reflection of the mental health of our society. Let’s all be good citizens and look out for the animals as we should also look out for the children, the handicapped and other vulnerable members of our society.

Actress to dramatize life of Doris Day

WARREN —Damaris Peters Pike, an actress and impersonator noted for her Women of Note performances, will speak at 10:30 a.m. April 15 at Packard Music Hall as the final lecturer in the Trumbull Town Hall series.

Pike launched Women of Note in 1988, using her knowledge of music history to dramatize the life of women in the music field. She founded the Opera Workshop at Hiram College, where she teaches and directs the women’s chorus. For her Packard appearance, she will perform “Que Sera, Sera — Remembering Doris Day.”
…..
I sent Joe to check out this show as he lives close by. According to him, there were at least 500 people at the Packard Music Hall, mostly women. The entrance was $25.00 , but Joe was lucky as one woman offered him a free ticket.
Ms.Pike told the Doris Day story in the first person and even sang some songs. According to Joe, she didn’t sound at all like Doris, but otherwise the performance was entertaining. Ms. Pike got a standing ovation for her performance.
It’s great to see that Doris Day is still very appreciated in her birth State of Ohio.

The Globe’s obsession with Doris Day:
Disclaimer: I didn’t buy the Globe, it’s all on the Net.
Now I know for sure that the Globe is lying since I was in Carmel when Doris Day called Magic 63 radio and spoke with the host Ed D. Doris Day is as sharp as a tack and was totally on the ball talking to the host with whom she chatted in a down to earth manner for an hour. Her voice sounded great. Doris said she was hoarse due to the trees around her house. She sounded crystal clear and even sang a few bars from a song.
About her being forgetful: Ed the host wasn’t too clear that he was talking about her radio show and she thought that he was talking about her TV show. That’s all there was to it and she couldn’t remember John Denvers last name, but she knew his real, German, last name. The host didn’t know the name either. Most of us forget things once once in a while. It’s normal.
Doris was renovating her house because the roof leaked. These things happen to famous people , too. The Globe made a pseudo scandal out of nothing. They put everything out of context,.
This is journalism at its lowest. If I were the writer of that article , I would be ashamed.
The Globe has had Doris on 4 covers in the past 2 years. Obviously, Doris sells for them. I suggest no one buy the Globe and then they’ll stop exploiting Doris.

Reclusive people don’t go out shopping, they don’t answer their fan mail or talk to their fans by phone. Doris Day does all these things.  Just a few weeks ago I had an amazing opportunity to talk to Doris and she was gracious, humorous and “sharp as a tack” , as her publicist points out. 

It’s totally unacceptable that Doris is not left alone by the media to enjoy her life in Carmel.   Unfortunately, Doris is a victim of her continued popularity and a following that is growing, as younger people discover her.   It’s ironic, but, we ,the fans, are partly to blame that Doris’ privacy has been breeched. Our need to know all about her gives incentive to some to blatantly stalk her or even invent all kinds of lies about her. This is the horrible price of fame.

Doris Day fans have decided to fight against the lies and misinformation about Ms. Day.

Here is an excerpt of a declaration by the Doris Day Web Forum fans that will be sent to different websites to inform them about the Doris Day we all love and care for. 

Doris Day: Misleading and intrusive media reporting: Friends of Hollywood star Doris Day express concern over ‘misleading and intrusive media reporting’ and call for restraint. Friends and fans of Doris Day would like to express concern at the level of negative media coverage of the (ex) actress as a result of recent books about her. Particularly, at the present moment, the taking and publishing of paparazzi-style photographs and the accompanying headlines and comments suggesting she is in distress. We cannot speak for her officially but many of us know her personally and would suggest that any distress she may or may not feel would be solely the result of not being able to go about her business without lurking photographers and imaginative copy writers.

Many friends who know her and are in regular contact with her, know that this type of reporting is completely without foundation. She is a happy, kind and intelligent woman, a recent recipient of The Presidential Medal of Freedom Award, America’s highest honour to a citizen, and a Grammy Award winner, she devotes her life to animal welfare - and to her friends - and she is not a recluse or collector of stray animals.

She is loved and held in high regard the world over and we, as her friends, would ask the media to show her the respect she deserves and to refrain from subjecting her, and us, to further reporting of this nature. We believe that the truth about Doris Day, both her achievements and her life today, are a much more interesting story and we would urge the media to write about that if they must write about her.

For and on behalf of the friends and fans of Doris Day,

The Doris Day Web Forum
August 2008

I’m happy to say that a week and a half ago , I received a lovely letter from Doris thanking me for the gifts I sent her for her Birthday. As she was dictating the letter to me, she was eating and enjoying the chocolate candy I sent her.
She also received the CD of the film music I composed for the Modern Romance movie. She hadn’t listened to it yet, but I hope she likes it. It is, after all, dedicated to her. She signed the letter “your friend Doris”. That touched me. I always felt a special connection to Doris, having been a fan for over forty years, but, for her to consider me a friend makes me realize even more that we have a certain responsibility to friends and that is to treat them respectfully and lovingly.
