Lets see more of you on this blog! After all you were at least half responsible for some of the most hilarious bits on KDKB...the "Love Workshop".<BR/><BR/>You may not remember me from the Love Workshop days but I sure remember you!! (o: Some of the most fun I had in those days was when I was enlisted to do the voice overs and jingle for the 1st Women's National Credit and Trust Bank. I will never forget the line: "for those of you who find procreation cumbersome and distasteful..."<BR/><BR/>Do you know what happened to the one where you had me pretend to be Shirley MacClaine saying "In my travels through the People's Republic of China, one thing peasant women everywhere said they wanted was their own bank..."?? I heard the others on Radio Free Phoenix last year. Andy Olson never ceases to surprise with his many treasures from those days.<BR/><BR/>You wrote some of the funniest. most offensive material I've ever heard. You'd no doubt be crucified by the PC crowd today. But in those days seems many people took themselves and each other a lot less seriously...not so much narcissistic, self righteous indignation. However, I really ticked off a few of my feminist friends at the time by doing those ads (when they heard them much later they laughed till there were tears in their eyes.)<BR/><BR/>What ever happened to that 'cease and desist' letter from the Az Fiduciary suits, and do you know what happened to your co writer Rus? Decades ago I heard he was working for National Lampoon...<BR/><BR/>Let's hear more from you, whaddya say? Jimmy's article was fabulous...so glad you are still around and when I'm ready to sell my house I'll let you know!

You have a gift for putting together a good article, thanks for sharing. I didn't know any of that history about Russ, either... that was interesting. Say, Russ, Dan Covington was in the Real Estate business, too - did you know Dan, were you guys friends, or did you ever collaborate or do business together?vagabondvethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18147561699745315484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11627588.post-1149912035446185162006-06-09T21:00:00.000-07:002006-06-09T21:00:00.000-07:00Hey Jimmy,<BR/>Great title "my brush with Rush!"
