OLD DEVIL NOTES

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, beware, beware, the devil is making me write these here notes today. Why is the devil making me write these here notes today you might ask and I might tell you because it would be devilish not to. You see, today is the 666 notes that I have written since haineshisway.com came into existence. And, the numbers 666 connote the devil, don’t you know. So, today these notes will be devilish, don’t you know. Today’s notes will be suffused with evil and horror – for example, we may tell the tale of The Randy Vicar and the Blood Sausage.

These are frightening notes already, aren’t they, dear readers? These are Rosemary’s Notes, these are The Omen notes, these are Angel Heart notes, these are Damn, Yankees notes. But, we shall have a devil of a good time, no matter what. We shall even eat Devil’s Food Cake after we finish our deviled eggs.

These here notes are giving me goosebumps frankly, or even georgely. Yes, Virginia, I, BK, have goosebumps or perhaps they’re really duckbumps. Why are bumps confined to the goose? These are the questions that need to be answered on this, our 666 notes.

Yesterday, I picked up the newly-released soundtrack to Sweet Charity. I really like the soundtrack a lot and, of course, there are several differences between the soundtrack and the show. However, as the “remastering” is shrill and harsh-sounding, and I wish they’d added a few things like the Rich Man’s Frug, but still I’m happy to have it – I just wish it sounded better (like their release of the Flower Drum Song soundtrack, which does sound good).

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below before so we can continue our devil of a good time.

Has anyone noticed that this is our 666 notes? Satan is awaitin’ celebratin’ that little feat. Did you know that Satan Was a Lady? Did you know that Satan loves satin? Did you know that when Satin wears satin he/she always visits Manhattan? I’ve also heard that south of the border Satin not only wears satin, Satan is Latin. Yes, Satan is a Latin in Manhattan in satin. Smoke on your pipe and put that in. What the hell am I talking about?

Did you know that I am writing these here notes with horns and my head? I have a trumpet on one side and a French horn on the other. I look quite devil-may-care if you ask me or even if you don’t ask me. Tonight I shall go look at that Old Devil Moon and see if I can get the devil on the phone. Of course, the devil will probably be busy with Daniel Webster – they’re always doing things together and running amok.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must work all the livelong day, then I must come home and watch Rosemary’s Baby in honor of this being our 666 notes. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Ask BK Day, the day in which you get to ask me all your excellent questions, which I shall try to answer as the day goes by. Not a day goes by when I don’t try to answer your questions as the day goes by and this day going by is no exception. It’s also Ask Dear Reader day, the day in which you get to ask other dear readers any excellent question you might have. Let’s have loads of devilish posts today, shall we?
