Uh, Thanks?

At church this Sunday, I was complimented on my guitar playing by one of my fellow congregants. He added that I reminded him of Danny Bonaduce from "The Partridge Family."

I'm pretty sure it was a compliment, and have been trying to take it as such (he was always my favorite character on the show; I always kind of wanted to punch Keith in the face and Laurie always struck me as kind of vacant, but that's beside the point). Also, I feel obliged to point out that Danny "played" bass, not guitar. At any rate, I can add another less-than-flattering celebrity comparison to my list.

Questionable Celebrity Comparisons I Have Received

• Gilbert Gottfried
• Hunter S. Thompson
  
• Ed Rooney
• Danny Bonaduce

In other list-related news, I am now aware of a second play that I have been in that starred Jimmy Stewart in the film adaption. I already knew about Bell, Book and Candle but You Can't Take It With You was news to me. I played Henderson, the Internal Revenue Department man, in a high school production (this was the play I learned to play accordion for, incidentally). The movie based on the play won the Oscar for Best Picture of 1938 and was directed by Frank Capra (who won Best Director) and starred one James Stewart as Tony Kirby. Luckily for me, I saw it was going to be on TMC and DVRed it. The film was quite enjoyable - watch it if you ever get the chance. I need to re-read the play (I still have the script) and compare the two versions since I don't remember much of the plot from the play (my part was small and limited to the first scene).

Come on, get happy,
Regis
