Clayton Willoughby was born backstage at the Rialto Theatre on a snowy March evening in 1911 to a touring vaudeville couple. At an early age he reveled at the magical feeling of life behind the scenes and perhaps feeling a little special at being in the center of this amazing world. He had a vivid imagination which when combined with growing up backstage, gave him a sense of realizing that things aren't always as they seem. Vaudeville did fade away but somehow Clayton escaped the hook as he made his way and continues to spread his Tin Pan Alley and 20's music in somewhat obscure, out-of-the-way theatres and old vaudeville houses, **** Jimmy Olson **** Daily Planet
Well if you don't perk me up what in the hell will? Sure do love that snap there, it reminds me very much of The Howdy Doodie show for some odd reason! Apologies for lack of reply as I have been under the weather this weekend, but I will do my best to rejuvenate and overcome my piercing headache. It really can knock you for six you know! Weather has been abysmal, but not at all sure what we are in for today as it tends to change from one second to another. Disappointed I didn't make my trip, but will do in the next couple weeks. I have to feel UP for it you know. Hope all well in your neck of the woods and that you have Nick's Bar mesmerized........which I feel certain you do dear! Enjoy your Sunday and catch you soon. Lotsalove from Stacy XOXO
Well, it's been a dreary, rainy day here, but I did get some yard sales in. I even bought myself a little something I normally wouldn't splurge on, but it reminded me of hanging out with my grampa so I just HAD to...lol. I will probably give it to my grand daughter sometime down the road...but for now I'll just set it in the corner and smile each time I see it. :) I'll post a pic of it in a bulletin a little later...but for now I am gearing up to watch COPS and hope you'll join me...I'll make popcorn...haha.
I LOVE it Clayton darlin'! Weather is abysmal here, so not at all certain I travel outta this darn town or not over weekend? We see. Now, here I am remindin' ya again to get those Christmas carols a-goin' you dapper bandit you! Be good. And don't let any black cats cross your path! Love from Stacy xoxo
Hope you had time today to reflect on the sacrifices of our soldiers and honor them for protecting this country that we love so very much. Time to wind down and spend the evening listening to some great country music thanks to the CMA's tonight! I was going to host again with Brad, but decided I would rather hang out with B&D and do a little Honky Tonk Stompin...heehee. Later tater...Luvs, fritter :)
YOU are such a hoot! Not at all sure I do my Xmas shoppin' this weekend yet or not. Depends on the weather and accommodation. Weather has been lousy here to tell you the truth, but I might just do day trips if I can't get a room in a groovy part 'o town. We see. Clayton dear, I want to hear you singin' some Christmas carols boy! Get 'em ON HERE PRONTO! I love my Christmas music ye know dear! Much Love Always, Stacy xoxxxx
Oh Baby! How I LUV them cowboy boots! Mhm! Right up my alley I do declare Clayton! Fantastic! WHERE in the heck did you find 'em? Gold stars for YOU my dear! Hope you are well there. These days are SHORT now that the clocks have changed are they not? I am debating whether or not to do a weekend in London or Bath and do a lil Christmas shoppin' and kick up me heels or not? I guess it all depends whether I can get a decent room or not in a decent part of town! Hey, hey, hey! We shall see. We shall see. You behave yourself over there young man! Or else these cowgirl boots comin' after ye! Much Love from Stacy XOX
The weather here has been so nice and I have been been out enjoying it even tho' i haven't been feeling the best. Today I have to clean house... so I am thrilled about that as you can imagine...lol. Just wanted to 'skate' by and say that I am wishing you a great start to a fantastic week...and if anyone tries to rain on your parade... Stick an umbrella up their ..Haha! *Miles of Smiles*, 'fritter'
You are somethin' Clayton dear! Yep, who gives a damn about the status quo round here anymore? You gotta do what makes YOU happy and so glad to hear you've been followin' that path as it important in the scheme of things ye hear. Little John lost his first tooth yesterday, so I played tooth fairy and he was excited with his gold pound coins this morning. He also had a few chocolate ones as well, so tooth fairy was REAL good this time. Clayton dear, I do not attend that Zep tribute band until December as it in Birmingham and I missed em when they were out my direction bein' completely unawares, but we NOW in the know so it all good! Fireworks light up the sky this time of the year for Bonfire Night celebrations. I am off to a friend's tomorrow afternoon for fireworks all bein' well. Depend on weather, but she knows I been through hell here lately and wantin' to keep lil John and myself company. Ain't that sweet? Now, I gonna wish you a crackin' day ahead. Not all that nice here again, but lots to do. It Friday! YAY! Be good darlin'. Hugs, Happiness & Harmony, Stacy XOXOXO
