I'm Afraid to Visit the Katzkills



I've found the motherlode of Mickey Katz music--Mickey is my latest passion-- but it comes with a heavy price. Full album side rips, in the dreaded FLAC (better quality audio, blah blah blah), I'll be working one these all day dividing up the tracks and turning them into something iTunes can digest. That I can handle....but downloading THIS tempting morsel  requires the installation of a Russian toolbar. And the Mr. has already  told me he will NOT clean up any resulting viral messes if I do.
Is someone visiting their granny's house and will download this for me on her computer? She really doesn't need to buy any more Quacker Factory outfits online anyway, then you could send it along to me? Yes?

Hello Dere!

As the winter winds blow here in Western New York, thoughts turn to a warm hearth and the comedic stylings of Marty Allen


"Marty Allen is one of the most versatile performers in show business. He has worked solo as a comedy headliner in nightclubs and as a dramatic actor in TV roles. He often presents a comedy-music-dance show with singer-composer Karon Kate Blackwell. His friendly "Hello Dere" greeting is known and imitated by fans throughout the world.

During the 1950s, Marty worked in many of the top nightclubs in the country as opening act for established stars such as Sarah Vaughan, Eydie Gorme and many others, including the legendary Nat "King" Cole. It was during this time that he became part of the great comedy team of Allen & Rossi."





Here's a clip from the epic: Last of the Secret Agents featuring the film's theme song from Nancy Sinatra
