He was the <A HREF="http://www.bigjim.it/html/box7274.php" REL="nofollow">Big Josh doll</A> of my boyhood dreams come to life.<BR/><BR/>My first forays out into <I>the Life</I> at 17 found me in plaid flannel (sleeves fashionably torn off), denim cut-offs and workboots. Alas, parochial school rules prevented me from having longish locks and facial hair. <BR/><BR/>Sadly (or in hindsight, luckily), being 6 feet tall and weighing (at the time) 125 lbs soaking wet prevented my Al Parker <I>look</I> from producing the intended results.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851297819829806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-10860640338542384882009-04-08T19:42:00.000-04:002009-04-08T19:42:00.000-04:00I only saw Jack Wrangler as a performer, but was a...I only saw Jack Wrangler as a performer, but was always most struck by him. Al Parker, Casey Donovan, that whole generation of giants....

An unlikely couple to be sure, but they sure lasted.<BR/><BR/>I saw Margaret Whiting perform as a special guest at Mary Cleere Haran's Lyrics & Lyricists tribute to Harry Warren at the 92nd Street Y in early 2004. She was just shy of 80 and did a lovely job. I wished I had seen her do on of the "4 Girls 4" shows with Rosemary Clooney, Helen O'Connell & Rose Marie back in the early 80's.<BR/><BR/>I met Mr. Wrangler briefly outside City Center just a few years ago. He was charming, still quite handsome, and wearing a gorgeous and impeccably tailored blazer.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851297819829806798noreply@blogger.com
