Boy howdy, disappear for a little and this thing gets even more out of control! LOL, all fun though. Skinny dip challenge... hm... as a topic, or a dare? *playful smirk*

Howdy, nice to meet you. *smiling* Welcome... pardon the occasional insanity, there are sane topics as well - unless of course you like insanity! LOL!
But really, always glad to have you along.

I've always been around, Roger, just not always on the forums, but thank you!
Thanks for the info, MaryAnne and Lori. Finally an answer... LOL. I found the song on SpiralFrog of all places, listening now. Yep, it is one of those more obscure bits of Duke history...

Well said, Lori.
It's maybe not so much about him disliking Dukes itself, as wanting to be known for more than that - especially since music always was, even before Dukes, and has been since, his biggest love. At heart, I think he's more a musician and singer than an actor, seven years of Hazzard County aside.
In my limited experience (more watching him than directly speaking I admit), he can be very gracious even if you mention Dukes later in a conversation, as long as you don't start the conversation with it and/or focus just on it.
Just my opinion, but I kinda think maybe he does what he does (singing and Broadway) because he loves it, not because, even after the years, he's truly entirely comfortable being "a star". He doesn't eat up attention the way John does; in fact if you hear him speak he'll even speak of himself as part of an ensemble doing a show, not as starring in one. Acting "fannish" with him seems to be the quickest way to turn him off. Being more carefully but casually friendly, I've heard, can open him up more. To be fair, maybe he feels too hemmed in at big Dukes events with all that concentrated focus, even if we do all love to see him there.

National Prayer
Remembering 9-11-2001
Lord, we come to You on bended knee,
heads bowed and our hearts filled to overflowing
with so much grief for the many people who have
been injured and killed in our National crises. We ask you, Lord, to give courage
and strength to those who so bravely
go to their aid. And though our hearts will
be heavy and filled with sorrow we ask, Lord,
that You give them the endurance needed
to help them through this difficult task. Please give us the strength, Lord,
to get through each difficult and devastating
day that faces each of us and our country.
Protect and guide our Military that
are now being called to duty. We ask, Lord, that You guide the leaders
of our great country in their hour of decision.
The burden that has been placed on their
shoulders during this crisis is overwhelming.
We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You
guide them gently to the right decisions. And lastly, Lord, we ask that You
allow us all to come together as a Nation,
to stand tall and united, so that we might
help each other in our hour of need.
Amen ~ author unknown ~ May God Bless America!

Very good summary, Val, though there is one other thing I can clarify - Enos' place in the boarding house had its own kitchen and stuff, because Daisy cooked him dinner and breakfast that time she stayed over... and there was a bedroom and bath separate from the little living area. So it really was more a full apartment.

*chuckle* Cute, Val. I was never great at Chemistry, but at least I recognize the references... feel free to post more!

Ah, that long-ago battle...
Well, I suppose even long-ago enemies can be friends. I was against ya back then, but I'll see what I can come up with for you now, Brian.
