yes, i realize i might lose some 'cool points' in the eyes of some people for this post, but i just had to give a heartfelt happy birthday to the very talented dean jones. i grew up with dean jones, thanks to his extended stint in various live action disney movies. 'million dollar duck' comes to mind. and of course, the 'darn cat' movies, a couple of 'love bugs,' and the surprisingly entertaining 'snowball express.' but a lot of people don't realize that dean was a very talented vocalist. i developed the warmest crush for him and the sound of his voice several years ago when i discovered the original soundtrack to the 70's sondheim musical 'company.' the soundtrack to that show is in my top three favorite broadway albums. i never get sick of it. dean's voice is so warm and expressive. so, who cares if he looks alarmingly like ted bundy when he wears a turtleneck, i still have real love for dean. his vocals from 'company' always takes the edge off when i'm feeling lonely. i guess a lot of credit goes to sondheim, too, for writing such terriffic songs. so, hey... call me square if you want to, but i'm blowing a kiss and saying; happy 78th birthday dean... i dig you! (the girl in the shot is susan browning. they're recording the magnificent number 'barcelona.')

He is 78??????
yes, i could hardly belive it myself. i checked-and-double-checked several sources, then i checked my math, but yes, he's 78. and i've seen recent pictures... he looks pretty vital for a man of that age.
