[Zmagnette] New one

Hey Wombat, I'll tell you how old I am, I worked as a second assistant director on both "Peter Gunn" and "Wanted Dead or Alive."  I used to stand back and pant when Craig's wife came to visit.  He was married to Alexis Smith, and she just blew me away.

  Happy new year especially to all us really old ones who are lucky to still be here!!!!

  By the way, and having nothing to do with Z Magnettes except the vintageness..I’ve been watching a DVD set of ALL the old Peter Gunn TV series shows, (Yep an Xmas Present), and really enjoying them. At the time, 1958 – 60, old Craig Stevens Peter Gunn was about the ultimate in COOL. Sound track  Jazz Music by some new guy named Henry Mancini, singer and Pete’s girl friend by Lola Albright, produced and some written and directed by some guy named Blake Edwards..(yea Pink Panther, SOB, Victor Victoria, and other classic comedy movies and Mr. Mary Poppins) and a cast of familiar faces. Way before when Steve McQueen became Mr. Cool ( he was still Josh Randall “Bounty Hunter” then ), there was Peter Gunn.
  I even went to my barber and had my hair cut the same way as his, and had a several of those “Sans-A Belt” suits and slacks that he wore. May still have some slacks somewhere.
  I had forgotten what a cute part the Edie Hart, (Lola Albright) had in the series. Guess that’s why I went out and bought her LP record albums too, that and the neat songs by Mancini she did. Wonderful return to the old days for a few hours. Guess what a TV season was in the “Old” days??? Not 18 or 20 episodes..no each season was a full 38 episodes about 25 mins. long. Soo I’ve got most of 2 more full seasons, that’s 38 hours total, to go. And just think...my ZB Magnette was current when this show was on. What??? You don’t know Peter Gunn..........never mind. You are too young to get it.
