When “General Hospital’s” Bradford Anderson approached jazz standard “My Funny Valentine,” he knew he had his work cut out for him.

“The thing is, it is one of the most depressing songs in the world,” he said in a recent telephone interview from the soap’s Los Angeles studio. “This person is miserable because they’re pining for the person they’re singing to.”

Not only that, but the actor follows a long line of more than 600 singers to perform “My Funny Valentine” since Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart penned it in 1937.

“Everyone’s sung it,” said Anderson, who plays Damian Spinelli on “General Hospital.”

Everyone from Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand to Van Morrison and Carly Simon.

But Anderson found conquering the song, itself, to be the most formidable task.

“Vocally, it’s pretty challenging,” he said.

But when the New York University Tisch School of the Arts graduate recorded the tune, he had a little inspiration from someone special, who sat in on the session.

“I sang it to my girlfriend,” Anderson said
There are some other great parts so check out the whole article.

Also, make sure your name is somewhere in the video so Bradford & Kirsten know who made it.

"Find You Somewhere"

One thing is certain, this video proves that if Kirsten Storms doesn't get an Emmy nod this year, (AND WIN) there's something wrong with the system. Spinelli is featured a bit in this vid, so I thought I'd post it.. Thanks to "Keepthissecret" (Josie on the Spixie board) for making this moving tribute to Georgie:

Reader Survey

This blog is almost a year old. It would be helpful to know what the readers think of it.
It is open to the first 100 responders.

Your input is valuable.
It will only allow once choice for each question so if you get a question that has more then one answer. ether pick the one that works best or use the 'other' option to answer the question.
Thank you

My Sweeps Pledge

Ok I just decided to try and go Spoiler free till the end of February.

I Penny am a Spoilerholic.

While I have seen some spoilers for sweeps I think it is safe to go spoiler free and not 'ruin' it for me.

Anyone else want to join me?

Perhaps it will be me back the love of a show I am coming to almost hate. (though alway loving Spinelli)

By the way in case anyone does not know..

Spikey posts all the good spoilers at http://community.livejournal.com/spinelli_gh/
And at Spinelli ONLINE
In case your not prepared to end the habit like me a girl will hook you up.

The Wind (Spinelli and Maxie, the beginning)

Spikey's Newest and Bestest video..

Diane and Spinelli...

Carolyn Hennesy (Diane) talks about Bradford Anderson:

Bradford is almost like Rainman except he's fully functional. He's that much of a genius. It's very hard to describe when you watch him work, to understand what he has to memorize, how he's got to make this come out of his mouth and the fact that he does it, is just fascinating to watch.


He as an actor can't even memorize the names, because they change them so much. He talks so fast! When Spinelli is talking, it's not Diane looking at him, but it's Carolyn saying WOW, and it works so well for Diane
