"On the Street Where You Live" is a song with #musicByFrederickLoeweAndLyricsByAlanJayLerner from the 1956 #BroadwayMusical #MyFairLady. It is sung in the musical by the character Freddy Eynsford-Hill, who was portrayed by #JohnMichaelKing in the original production. In the 1964 #filmVersion, it was sung by #BillShirley, dubbing for actor #JeremyBrett.

A chum reminded me that today would have been the birthday of the late Jeremy Brett. Brett, for my money, is still *the* finest screen incarnation of Sherlock Holmes.

Yes, I love the Rathbone films, but the Granada productions with Brett are just on another level and far truer to the spirit of the original stories.

Here in Edinburgh, local lad Conan Doyle has the greatest honour a Scotsman can have - a pub named after him!

If you're a fan of #JeremyBrett and the Granada #SherlockHolmes series and are in need of cheering up, give this fan video a watch. I've watched it twice in the the last two days, and I'm always smiling by the end of it. https://youtu.be/jABj0h7XTLA

Jeremy Brett was the quintessential Holmes, living and breathing the part in ways that haven't been done before or since. Brett didn't just play Sherlock Holmes. He WAS Sherlock Holmes.

My submission for the Nokia Art Jam 2 on itch!

It is a "lost" Nokia 3410 game based on Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes. I imagine it would have been a silly text adventure that takes him and Dr. Watson to the mysterious land of... Florida.

Happy #SherlockHolmesDay & birthday to #Edinburgh scribe Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, still commemorated with a statue of the great detective close to his family home here our #UNESCO City of Literature, & a nearby pub named after him (the greatest honour a Scotsman can hold!)

Also, Jeremy Brett remains the finest screen incarnation of Holmes. I will brook no arguments on this point!
