BILLY BARNES

Well, you've read the notes, the notes had love and admiration for Billy Barnes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently in rehearsals for a new revue called The Billy Barnes Cows.

So sorry to read about Billy Barnes.  I also remember him from my childhood and how he made me laugh.

Vibes of comfort to his family and friends.

Vibes to all who need them.

Have a wonder filled day!

Good morning, all.

The heat is on to take the chill off, the coffee is in front of me, and I sit here contemplating my day.  What is my day?  It's Wednesday, I believe.  I'll be puttering around the house, and this evening I'm going to see LAWRENCE OF ARABIA on somebody's home projection system which I hope is as good a one as he says it is.  I haven't yet seen a really good one, just pathetic demos at stores.

I also sit here thinking about Billy Barnes.  BK, I will add that CD to a future Kritzerland order and shall look forward to letting it take me back to a wonderful era.  Even if I don't get every last reference ... I'll "get" it just fine.

Good morning, all! I slept late. Very late, and I'm taking a day for myself. I am feelling melancholic and depressed, and I wish I were back in bed.

I'll get over it.

MR Billy Barnes - who I didn't know before hearing about him from MR BK - although I had been watching/listening to his work for years on Laugh-In.....

He was an entertainer!

As for the actors matching the characters.  I think you can only warm up to them if they give you a good performance.  There are a few matches over the years I will never stop complaining about. 


I think the actors in the Hunger Games movie are good. But it was hard at first for me to get used to the actor who played Peeta (he is quite short). He wasn't how i pictured the character. So even though he is a good actor it took me a while to warm up to him.

Hope everyone who is fasting today has an easy time.

Yesterday my niece asked if I could still eat snacks during the fast. :)

He was a favorite in my family's TV viewing and album listening.  Catch a Falling Star.  The Mancini songs.  I remember one Christmas it was such a thrill when my parents gave us - not one, but a few of his albums.  They all got played to death on the Sears console stereo in short order.

I do recall Andy Williams because I liked the song "Catch a Falling Star" when I was a kid. My grandmother had an album of his amidst the Lawrence Welk and polka albums.

I am trying to place Billy Barnes... I vaguely recall Laugh-In.

More and more of the wonderful performers from my youth are going to be leaving us now. Some will be known to a wide audience like Andy Williams and others no so like Billy Barnes. But both contributed greatly to my foundation of my love for theater, film and popular song without at first knowing who they were exactly at the moment
