Happy Birthday, sir! I don’t know how you made it this far, but I’m glad you did.
Half a league, half a league…

I was always fascinated by the “smooth dude” persona. People like that seem from another planet even though we often find out that they’re as big a mess inside as any of us. Also interesting is that invariably in comedy duos the goofball: Jerry, Lou Costello, Tommy Smothers, Gracie Allen, is the control freak running the show.

The invisible trumpet player is really good in that video. The visible vibes player not so much. He keeps hitting the bars that don’t make any sounds…

You should celebrate at his favourite joint. Sadly, the Doheny location is gone, but there’s still a Hamburger Hamlet in Sherman Oaks.

My locations were Westwood Village and later Doheny (never saw him there myself). “Get thee to a bunnery!”
I saw him a couple times as a kid, the 80s in West LA were odd but fun.

Am I missing a Dean reference or has the author never enjoyed Christmas?
