As soon as Wombat said "Peter Gunn" the theme music started playing in my
head.
I'll grant you that Gunn was cool, but was he the ultimate cool?
I think I'd have to vote for Steve McQueen.

He was the epitome of cool with his $300.00 (1958 dollars) suits and
$200.00 Zippo lighter. And then there was that driving guitar beat that every
kid wanted to learn: Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na; Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na;
Wah-wah.. Oh well, you had to be there.
Happy New Year to us all.
Cheers,

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.
