[Zmagnette] New one: Now "Cool"

[LannM at aol.com]

As soon as Wombat said "Peter Gunn" the theme music started playing in my  
head.
 
I'll grant you that Gunn was cool, but was he the ultimate cool?
 
I think I'd have to vote for Steve McQueen.

He was the epitome of  cool with his $300.00 (1958 dollars) suits and 
$200.00 Zippo lighter. And then  there was that driving guitar beat that every 
kid wanted to learn:  Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na; Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na; 
Wah-wah.. Oh well, you had  to be there. 
Happy New Year to us  all. 
Cheers,

Happy new year  especially to all us really old ones who are lucky to still 
be  here!!!!
 

 
By the way, and  having nothing to do with Z Magnettes except the 
vintageness..I’ve been  watching a DVD set of ALL the old Peter Gunn TV series shows, 
(Yep an Xmas  Present), and really enjoying them. At the time, 1958 – 60, 
old Craig Stevens  Peter Gunn was about the ultimate in COOL. Sound track  
Jazz Music by  some new guy named Henry Mancini, singer and Pete’s girl friend 
by Lola  Albright, produced and some written and directed by some guy named 
Blake  Edwards..(yea Pink Panther, SOB, Victor Victoria, and other classic 
comedy  movies and Mr. Mary Poppins) and a cast of familiar faces. Way 
before when  Steve McQueen became Mr. Cool ( he was still Josh Randall “Bounty 
Hunter” then  ), there was Peter Gunn.
 
I even went to  my barber and had my hair cut the same way as his, and had 
a several of those  “Sans-A Belt” suits and slacks that he wore. May still 
have some slacks  somewhere.
 
I had forgotten  what a cute part the Edie Hart, (Lola Albright) had in the 
series. Guess  that’s why I went out and bought her LP record albums too, 
that and the neat  songs by Mancini she did. Wonderful return to the old days 
for a few hours.  Guess what a TV season was in the “Old” days??? Not 18 
or 20 episodes..no each  season was a full 38 episodes about 25 mins. long. 
Soo I’ve got most of 2 more  full seasons, that’s 38 hours total, to go. And 
just think...my ZB Magnette  was current when this show was on. What??? You 
don’t know Peter  Gunn..........never mind. You are too young to get it.
