Steve has a point. I believe that badge gave him great access. He was a wealth of information yesterday. We truly missed john and the fam yesterday. We sat and listened to Spike Jones and his City Slickers. I can almost see mojo and cookie giggling and laughing everytime the guy gargled out a note. Uncle Vee was impressed by the guy and had historical recollection of when songs came out, in the 40's. It was a funny evening. He did impart some words of wisdom and they were both funny and factual. I do not push is something i will carry with me forever. As Burl was singing he started talking about him as playing a cowboy in a few westerns. If you have seen the guy you would have more chance convincing me he played the wizard in The Wizard of Oz. He argued that this guy was great in westerns. He even won an academy award for Big Country. Maybe uncle vito should be playing scene it with us. I argued that the guy appeared to be a bizare looking possibly man loving oddball. He said "well thats true but not in the westerns. in those he lived that part. " I was intrigued and now we must find this movie and watch it.
