Today, I do a tribute to Jonathan Winter's. He and I have very similar styles, if I am allowed to give an opinion. Buddy Hackett, first ever TV comedy, Robin Williams, Alan Alda, Groucho, Woody, Bob Lemon, Andy Griffith, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett. Lucy, Gracie, with George, May West, ( it had an e, but spell correct is so often not correct)., Don Knox, Gomer, Ernest, the cookie monster, and so many more. All of these comedian's either had one voice of humor, or more often many voices. The Vaudeville director, Billy, who won 11 Cloe awards impersonating Charlie Chaplin for IBM, called this your stick, my Jazz friends call it your ax, but to become a hit, you need to find a clean hit, or be "it", like Taylor, Beyonce, Willie, Michael, Tina, and Willie.
I havre been studying comedy big time lately, after being a class clown throughout my life; classrooms, board's, church, home etcetera, etcetera (Yule Brinner, song of the theme).
The "Journey's West, a copy of John's TV skit, but added to an extra exploration of the move out west, from Jerusalem, and France, and England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland; in 1654.
I found Jonathan it a movie called The Mad Mad world. Spencer Tracy, Buddy Hackett and a huge cast of actor's. Later he would become one of the late night comedian's of the 20th century. Buddy Hackett would find his fame in his role in The Music Man, but Buddy was the very first comedian on television in the late 1930's.
When photography emerged, life changed, But not all that much. When photography became moving picture's, a huge change occurred in America and throughout the world. Originally the film's were black and white, and silent, with live pianist, or musician's accompanying the movie. When sound in movies occurred, some Diva's became afterthought's, with a whole re-assessing of Star Power. Going from black and white to color didn't really change thing's but going to sound evoked an entry of movies into the spiritual and psychological live's of the attendee's. Sound, sight, taste, smell, touch, the five senses, but most of us live in a world of Silver Nitrate, flash photography, and a black and white vers
ion of the rainbow of our Lord's world's.
