(some guys have all the luck.) now, i’m no killjoy. i’ve been known to line ‘em up before last call and press the house to “pour it over me”. but in all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world i’ve been to, you had to be twenty-one to get in. no boy sopranos or little virginias. along about the time one of the barroom buzzards proposes “say kids, you wanna go for a sleigh ride?”, i’m ready to call 911. producer-director dan johnston, a disciple of the carl stalling school of music, can’t seem to decide whether he should be naughty or nice. he can play sober church music. but clearly he’d rather be performing in a shakey’s pizza parlor. <br /><br />one of the more interesting offerings this season.<br />barbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614152954364501680noreply@blogger.com
