"Meredith Willson (Musical Director for "The Big Show") wrote "May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You" for Tallulah Bankhead to use at the close of her popular Radio Show. She later likened the song to a Hymn, and was always indebted to Meredith Willson for dedicating this song to her. What a charming and loving song for Tallulah Bankhead's radio program, "The Big Show". A shame this song could not be sung today, but how lucky for Tallulah Bankhead to have this personal dedication!"

In wonder whether it would pass muster nowadays with Mystery Church Shoppers:
'Mystery worshippers' go online

The help-wanted ad going live this week on Craigslist might raise some eyebrows. If not tempers.
"Need people who aren't Christians to review church service," it says.
It goes on. "Who: Age 20-35. Do not currently believe Jesus Christ is God. Not mad at Christians.
"What: Attend a church service (anonymously) and complete a survey."
The pay for this odd job? $50. To go, once, to the Sunday service at North Sound Church in Edmonds and rate it on everything from whether the music is tedious to if the sermon seems sincere.
It's the inspiration of Jim Henderson, a Seattle evangelical Christian, former pastor and self-described "spiritual anthropologist" who says it's past time Christians found out "what our true customers really think."
