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
How precious Clayton dear! Thanky! It's been a hectic week around here and a comedy of errors today, that's for sure! Anyhow, nearly Wednesday thank goodness. Thursday doing a feast for lil John so that he can appreciate a few of my own traditions on a small, intimate scale. He has a project due on different traditions, so have been frantically searching for a darn posterboard to draw on and NOTHING. Anyhow, we work it out. I plan to make a sweet tater pie for dessert and the usual trimmings. Lawsy! Anyhow, weather been crap here. Not expecting a vast improvement over the weekend. Can't get accommodation at the two places in Notting Hill I wanted, but there is a room in Knightsbridge in a fun area if I want to spend ALL my swish Christmas tree money and more on a room I will hardly see! Anywho, may be that I just do a day out next Wednesday or stay overnight then. I see what happens. Gotta do it before Christmas. I will do my best to stay away from my favourite western store with all those beautiful boots and cowgirl/boy shirts, jackets, hats and jewelry. GEEZ. I gonna go out and WHOOP IT UP THIS TIME METHINKS! Where's my rope? Love Ya Darlin', Cowgirl Stace xoxo
Feelin' much better darlin', thank you! Say, how was your trip to Big Apple? I am green with envy, would LOVE to be there, especially this time of the year you know. Mmmmmmm. Hope you took some snaps for me? I just planning a fun weekend away to London. I need it. Too much stress gets on top of you and you gotta get away. You know what it's like sugar. Well, I am off to the gym. Was raining earlier and now sun's out. You just never know around here. It's a mixed bag........ Hope you're well and that you and Spence had a marvelous time doin' NYC UP RIGHT! Much Love from Stacy
And how's your weekend coming along? Overhere we had a lovely day today. The sun was shining brightly. A beautiful day considering it's november.
I'm sending you a clip of Mr. Toon Hermans. He was, in my humble opinion, the greatest entertainer of my country. In this clip he's speaking in the English language so you will be able to understand him.
Have a lovely evening Clayton and a most wonderful Sunday!
Hi Clayton, thought maybe I'ld catch you around. Now my heart is broken, :( :( Hope you have a happy and peaceful new week with no major troubles! Luv & Hugz, Rita :)
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
