    BILL DANA BIOGRAPHY Many know Bill Dana as "José Jiménez", a classic character he created on the Steve Allen Show in the 1950's and continued to perform throughout his career, but Dana has also been a successful writer, author, cartoonist, producer, director, recording artist, inventor, and stand-up comedian. After serving as a decorated combat infantryman in WW II, Bill graduated Emerson College in Boston and entered show business, beginning his career as an NBC page at 30 Rock. His career took a major turn when he began writing for Don Adams including the now famous "Would You Believe?" jokes. Hired by Steve Allen to write on the original Steve Allen Tonight Show, he eventually became head writer. His creation of the José Jimenéz character in 1959 resulted in his own NBC show (1963-65). His comedy albums, as both José and Bill Dana, were top-sellers. He helped launch the careers of comedic greats such as Don Adams, Jackie Mason, Don Knotts, and Jim Nabors. A major career highlight for him was writing the "All In The Family" episode featuring Sammy Davis, Jr., consistently rated in TV Guide's "Top 100 Television Episodes of All Time". Adopted by the original seven Mercury astronauts, Dana became part of U.S. space history on May 5, 1961, when the first words from Planet Earth spoken to Alan Shepard, America's first man in space were....."OK, José, You're on your way." Bill and José are honored by inclusion in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and the Astronaut Hall of Fame.

As my wife, Debby, and I prepared to leave Ptlugerville for the East Texas Historical As~ociatjonFall meeting, I began experiencing sustained abdominal pain. By that evening it was evident I would have to make a detour to a 10l;al hospital for relief.

  • One More Time
    One more time After more than 40 years of schlepping their music and their shtick and their cute-lovebird image around the globe, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme are on their final tour. Published in the Asbury Park Press 7/20/03 By MIKE BARRIS Special to the Press WESTBURY, N.Y. -- They have second homes all over the world: theaters from Milan, Italy, to Mashantucket, Conn., where the adulation of fans turns every concert into a homecoming. But this time, when the grind of airports, hotel rooms and suitcase-style living is over, America's First Couple of Song will just go home. Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme are on their last tour. After more than 40 years of schlepping their music and their shtick and their cute-lovebird image around the globe, the married couple and show- biz institution known simply as "Steve and Eydie" is coming off the road. Late last year, Lawrence, 68, and Gorme, 71, announced they would stop touring after concluding one final, nostalgic swing around the United States. They're ending an era by returning to places where they've attracted thousands in the past, like this suburban Long Island town. Some of the communities on their itinerary haven't heard from them for years. Like the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. On Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Music will bring their blend of middle-of-the- road popular songs and bright repartee back to the Garden State venue one last time. They last played the arts center -- a regular New Jersey date for them, for years -- on Sept.

Bush by late-night talk show hosts after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2002. Twelve weeks worth of monologues from David Letterman and Jay Leno are examined using genre of political satire as the primary method of explanation. The initial sections of the paper deal with the histories of both political satire and late-night talk shows respectively. The intermediate sections of the paper discuss the events of September 11 and the comedians' monologues before and after the tragedy. Finally, the paper uses the genre of political satire to explain variations in the treatment of President Bush. Acknowledgements My sincerest thanks are due to Dr. Beth Messner, whose time and guidance allowed this thesis to be created. She helped me focus on a subject and was patient while I worked though it. Dr. Messner's encouragement and advice were invaluable in the formation of this paper, and I am grateful. Purpose This paper attempts to argue that comedians' treatment of President George W.

  • August 23–25, 2019 Our 19Th Year!
    Our 19th Year! August 23–25, 2019 –1– About the Jazz Summit Education is a primary purpose behind the Prescott Jazz Summit. We provide clinics for bands from all over Arizona, have student ensembles perform at our annual festival, and give funds to local music departments. We’ve also given scholarships to deserving students, and regularly present assemblies to schools. Our programs have reached more than 5000 students in North Central Arizona elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. Our assemblies adress the WHOLE student body in the schools where we perform. We present jazz music in an entertaining and “inclusive” form for ALL the students, not just the music students. Our programs are done at NO CHARGE to each school. We also demonstrate each instrument, so that the students get an idea of what each instrument sounds like and how it works. Our Educational Outreach program is funded through donations to “Friends of Big Band Jazz,” a 501c3 nonprofit corporation. FBBJ is the sponsoring organi- zation for the Prescott Jazz Summit and the Stan Kenton Legacy Orchestra. It has given more than $60,000 for jazz camp scholarships, funds to school music departments, funds to help musicians in need, and the Habitat for Humanity for the New Orleans Musicians Village. –2– Born in Scranton, PA, our Master of Ceremonies Pete Barbutti started accordion lessons at 11 and within a year was earning money playing at weddings. Later, Pete formed a musical-comedy-vocal quartet group called “The Millionaires,” which toured the country. Settling in Las Vegas, “The Millionaires” quickly became a Las Vegas favorite.
