Arkady…back in 1971 I was at the Concert For Bngladesh and I fell in love, totally with one of the guitar players…he looked Latino.

I think it was both he and Johnny Crawford who made me become infatuated with that look.

I never found out who that guitar player was until I got the DVD of the Concert a few years ago…it was jesse Ed davis and he was a full blooded American Indian. He died tragically of drugs in the eighties but ot this very day I remember the exact episode of the Rifleman where I first saw the son and the time Jesse Ed davis walked on stage. I couldn’t have cared less about gerorge harrison, Ringo, Eric Clapton and the others up there on stage. I was mesmerized by that guitar player

Johnny Crawford is still a cutie

Sorry, *robert*. I’m done now.

I first saw “The Women” when I worked in a video store in Center City when I was in college. The manager (another member of the Team) played “The Women” in the store on an endless loop, and how could you not pick up all those great Clare Booth Luce lines. Never saw the remake; don’t want to; I hear it’s unwatchable.

(Working in the video store was a truly unpleasant experience – had to wear Philip Morris costumes on deliveries, and one day the owner actually asked me how much he’d have to pay me to get me to kow tow to him, to which I replied that he didn’t have enough money, and I quit shortly thereafter!)

I was in love with the Rifleman’s son when i was vey young…Johhny Crawford
