“L.A. IS…”

KRITZERLAND IS PROUD TO PRESENT A LIMITED EDITION CD:

BILLY BARNES L.A.
Original Cast Album (and more!)
Music and Lyrics by Billy Barnes

After the rousing success of The Billy Barnes Revue and The Billy Barnes People (both of which traveled from L.A. to Broadway), Billy Barnes L.A. opened at the Coronet on October 10, 1962, and, as always, the LA critics and audiences ate it up. Obviously an LA-centric show was not going to be traveling to Broadway, but Billy was LA and LA loved Billy’s shows (and Bob Rodgers was an integral part of them as both sketch writer and director). The show skewered all things LA back then – some of the references probably won’t make sense now, but they’re still a lot of fun and, as always, the songs are melodic, infectious, and reflect Billy’s impish personality and wit. “The Akron,” for example, was a classic budget LA store – sort of an LA version of Target. And to prove that Billy was not always about impish and sly, the show features a wonderful Billy ballad, “Does Anybody Here Love Me?”

The show received the usual critical love letters – “Madly funny” said the LA Times. “Uproarious… Delightful funsters” said the Herald-Examiner. “Billy Barnes is Hollywood’s most talented revue commentator” said the Hollywood Reporter. “Genuinely entertaining… Bright, fast-paced, replete with clever lyrics” said Variety. Even Louella Parsons chimed in with “Something no one should miss.”

Billy Barnes, LA native, has been writing brilliant special material for decades. He also wrote the classic June Christy song, “Something Cool” as well as the Barbra Streisand classic, “Too Long at the Fair,” which was on her debut album. In addition to his classic revues, Billy spent years doing the music for TV’s Laugh-In, as well as writing special material for any number of network TV specials, as well as for specific celebrities.

There was a previous CD release of Billy Barnes L.A. back in 1994 – we’ve cleaned up the sound as much as possible given the limitation of the original recording tapes, and we’ve added five great bonus tracks from a live show at Studio One, a nightclub in West Hollywood, where Billy and Marvin Laird were at the twin pianos singing some wonderful Billy songs, including an updated (to then) “L.A. Is,” with lyrics reflecting the quite different LA of the 1970s – massage parlors, Mr. Chow’s, coke (not the beverage), the Roxy, the Whiskey A Go Go, and even Studio One.

They simply don’t know how to write this sort of revue anymore. But, thanks to this CD, we all can get in our LA time machine and travel back to a more innocent time, a time when Los Angeles was fun and weird and wonderful, a time that Billy (and Bob Rodgers) capture perfectly in their perfectly perfect time capsule called Billy Barnes L.A.

This release is limited to 1000 copies. The price is $19.98 plus shipping.

CD will ship by the third week of September – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Every jot and tittle (so to speak) was "produced", with a DJ and a candy theme running through the country club, and the video homage to the Bar Mitzvah boy was brilliantly edited (and even featured that famous voiceover guy--I can't remember his name, the one that does a lot of trailers these days). Nothing like an L.A. Bar Mitzvah. Oy.

Not knowing that Billy Barnes LA was the next title to be released I was sampling "Billy Barnes Revued" cast album late last night.

One of a song was "Do A Revue" which I believe BK used in his revue called "What If?" (The short sampling didn't have a section I recognized though

So I guess it was destiny to buy this release.

I recognized Ken Berry, Marlyn Mason, and Steve Franken.
Tom Hatten and Joyce Jameson sound familiar but not sure who they are.

I have a Ken Berry story that was a very embarrassing moment for me.

Steven Franken was a busy 60's/70's/80's character actor who was a favorite. He's still working. One of my favorites performance was in Blake Edward's The Party

Marlyn Mason was also favorite character who was worked from the 60's-80's and beyond. I remember her most from the TV version of Brigadoon.

I am experimenting with self-sufficiency today - Richard's off to Lima for church and Rob is driving back from a weekend in Michigan with Mary Linda's family. Two of my girlfriends and my sister-in-law are all aware that I'm here and their numbers are in my cell phone's speed dial. One of the friends is a retired physician and my SiL is a dental hygienist and non-practicing EMT. I plan not to need any of them, but it's good to know they're there. The solitude is kind of refreshing...

Post by: elmore3003 on August 15, 2010, 07:41:00 AM: Good morning, all! I slept until 8:30. At some point during the night, the oaf and his lady friend - I never know if it's the same lady or, given his track record when he was in school and using the dog as a Central Park chick magnet - showed up, noisily enough to be heard through the ear plugs. So, I awoke at 8:55 or so and decided I needed more sleep. I got out of bed around 8:30, and I've bathed, had some breakfast and my meds, run all of my neighborhood errands, and I'm ready to begin some writing on the works of Mr Victor Herbert.

I am having a helluva time with the preface to the Second Volume of BABES IN TOYLAND. I know what I want to say about Otto Langey's commercial stock orchestra arrangements for "hotel" groups (12 players) and larger orchestras of 25 players or more, but it's not going easily to paper.

As to THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER, I will be seeing Mr Skip Kennon at some point this week, which will be fun, and I have some editing and answers to some questions for him and the copyists.

Post by: KevinH on August 15, 2010, 10:57:23 AM: BK--regarding NYC hotels: I've had great luck with priceline.com. I usually wait till a few days before going, but you can try in advance and if your bid is not accepted you can change the rating of the hotel or the location and make another bid. If it's still not accepted you can bid again in 24 hours. I've gotten hotels such as the New York Hilton, Millennium, Times Square Hilton for $150 or less (of course they add a fee and taxes to that ). When I was there in May it was hard to get a good price, but my friend bid $180 and we ended up with the Holiday Inn on 57th Street, which was not bad at all.

WOMEN WHO DRINK CRYSTAL LIGHT, DRINK 20% MORE WATER!

Okay, now Crystal Light is a powder that you mix with water. So, if you drink Crystal Light, you are, of course, drinking more water.

I think I understand what they are saying.
If women drank 5 glasses of water a day without crystal light, then women who drink crystal light will drink 6 glasses of water a day. That is supposing that those women did not drink water prior to drinking water with crystal light.

Post by: Michael on August 15, 2010, 05:55:43 PM: OKAY NOW MY KEN BERRY

It is nothing against him, but I was very embarrassed when we talked. The set up was this.
1) Mr. Berry was guesting on my friend Julie Amato's variety program in the late 70's. It was taped in Montreal.
2) I had just finished reading "CBS: Reflections In Bloodshot Eye".
3) Berry was mentioned in the book along with his wife Jackie Joseph who I knew from her television.
4) During a break in his featured bit (He was sing and dancing to "I'm Just A Song And Dance Man". We chatted. I asked him Mayberry RFD (what RFD meant)
5) Here's where the embarrassing moment came: I asked him, "...And how is your lovely wife Jackie Joseph?" He replied We're Divorced.
I apologized and told him i just read about him. He said Don't believe everything you read.

Oh I don't need assistance, I was out like a light the minute my head hit the pillow, but I would have had to sleep for 15-16 hours from when I started my nap to get up at the usual time tomorrow. Not likely, so I'll stay awake for awhile and try to get back on schedule

Hello, everyone.

Add me to the group that does NOT have any Ken Berry stories. (But I loved your post, JMK.)

The only story that I have with a Ken Berry reference was that he was supposed to play Buddy in the 5th Avenue/TUTS production of Follies that I saw in 1995 or so, but he ended up not doing it. I don't remember who played Buddy, but he wasn't a "name"...maybe he was a local guy.

But it's FINALLY being released in the US...November 9 (http://www.amazon.com/Ice-Blues-Donald-Strachey-Mystery/dp/B003Z8ZC0W/ref=sr_1_3?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1281920881&sr=1-3)...even though it'll be almost half the price that I paid. ::)

That said, we're now in a little dustbowl of a town called Buttonwillow which, if anything, is even hotter than it was in LA earlier. Buttonwillow has 4 gas stations, 2 hotels, a Denny's and (I kid you not) a Vegan Indian (as in far east) restaurant. I had one of their veggie wraps and it was quite delish.

Cleaning up and getting ready to pack the car for the EARLY morning trip. The kids slept through dinner, in fact, they have been sleeping almost since they got here. Last week, they vacationed at the shore in Maryland and then came home Saturday and left at 6:00am this morning to come the west coast. I told them about our journey tomorrow and they seemed excited.
