Good morning, Vagabonds. I spent the last several hours putting the Passover equipment away and the non-Passover stuff back. This also involved taking the tin foil off the counter and the fridge shelves. I have so much food left over I may take some to NY and give a lot to my next door neighbor.
Good morning Vagabonds..A foggy morning after a soggy night..The leaf buds on the Lilac are swelling ready to show the flower buds underneath. It’s a white lilac instead of violet..I have found that lilacs are a common shrub planted around homes. If you see a lilac bush standing in an odd spot all by its self chances are if you go and look you will likely find a seller hole. I call it evidence of habitation.Apple trees are another common plant found with homes, butternut trees to name a few..Hay, hay, hay It’s….. oh never mind, i’m gone..ttfn

David, did you ever see the remake from 1966? The only one of the lead roles I didn’t recognize was the Ringo Kid played by Alex Cord. It also starred Ann Margaret, Keenan Wynn, Red Buttons, Mike Connors, Bing Crosby, Van Heflin, Robert Cummings, Slim Pickins and Stephanie Powers. Quite an all-star cast for a movie that was nowhere near as good as the original. I did love Crosby’s performance as the drunken doctor, though. It was so out of character for him as an actor and he pulled it off very well. (I think Connors and Powers were also relatively unknown at the time, but went on to greater fame than Cord.)
Then there was the television version from 1986 with the Highwaymen (Jennings, Cash, Kristopherson & Nelson). In that one, Willy Nelson was the Doc, only he was Doc Holliday with all that might imply. Kris Kristopherson was the Ringo Kid, Waylon Jennings was the gambler and Johnny Cash was the marshal. Even John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) and June Carter Cash were in on that one. And Bing’s daughter Mary played the pregnant young wife. If you watch it as a tribute to the original, it wasn’t too bad. If you think of it as a remake, it isn’t very good.
