March 23- Easter Eggs Me On…
A happy Easter to all who celebrate that holiday…I know there are a lot of folks who also end their Lenten fasts and can now return to whatever they gave up for the forty days…a good friend of mine-Candi from B-96- is especially happy to be able to have ice cream again!
Checking my e-mail, our loyal fan BlueCat sent a few Easter facts to me-one is- nobody currently alive today will see Easter occur this early again! No, that’s not a threat-it’s a fact. The next time Easter will be this early is in the year 2228 (set your calendar now)-and the last time it was this early was in 1913!Want to see Easter occur even earlier? It’ll be one day earlier in the year 2285- so, if you get flash-frozen like Fry in “Futurama”- there’s a chance you might just celebrate with the Robo-Bunny and his holographic eggs. The reason for any of these dates? Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the spring Equinox. That last sentence completely wore me out, so lets’ move on…
We were talking about the Katey Sagal/Sven mystery the other day…was it indeed Katey Sagal, appearing as a background singer for Bette Midler in an appearance on the original Svengoolie show in the early 70s-which we later included in my “Son of Svengoolie” show, with me “keyed in” over the original Sven image (see the blog that explains why, and more)-or, is it NOT her, and only someone who resembles her, since she says she wasn’t working with Bette until the late 80s?! Well, I found out you can judge for yourself- you can find the clip both on YouTube- and on the site that’s a treasure trove of Chicago TV clips- www.fuzzymemories.tv - so, if you’re interested in further investigating the mystery, and want to see it and give me your opinion, go take a look! As I said, I certainly don’t think Katey would have any reason to say it wasn’t her…other than faulty memory, which a lot of us suffer from…anyway, check it out if you wish…
Also in at our e-mail (svengoolie@wciu.com ) – we’ve gotten more inquiries about whether or not I’ve been invited to join the festivities when Berwyn celebrates its centennial later this year! The answer is- yes! We’re trying to work out Sven making an appearance in their big centennial parade-and, of course, we’ll give you all the information here when it’s all in place. I’ve gotten pictures from so many folks – great pictures of me in various Berwyn parades from various times in my career- so, get ready to snap some new ones!
And- get ready for MORE e-mail feedback tomorrow-right here!
