Skipper Duke

Detailed posts about the filming locations of Georgia and California. https://www.facebook.com/share/169ZLtD5iW/

Someone commented "NICE CAP" about the Benford Yacht Hat. I was thinking my comment but did not publish it. Lol. I was thinking "Yeah nice hat. But the $249 price ain't nice." Lol. As nice as Benford Yacht Hat may be, it ain't no Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. Cap. Which is the brand of Alan Hale Jr. The Skipper.

Someone on YouTube commented on Ritchie Valens Framed "The original police harassment song." I replied to that person with "The perfect soundtrack for those Duke Boys. Lol."

My Facebook post. Sometimes I wonder if things happen for a reason. I once eyed a $249 Benford Yacht Hat, despite its braid not matching Alan Hale Jr.'s style. When Bluenox advertised a Lancaster Uniform Cap Co. hat with the right braid, I was excited... but ended up with a Gorget Braid Benford-style hat instead. Scammed, but for $78.29, it was a deal. Fast forward, my mom transformed it into the Lancaster I originally wanted. Maybe God worked it out this way, using a less-than-ideal situation to bring me closer to what I wanted all along?

DIY Hack Alert! Did you know a $65 Midway Cap Co. Skipper hat can be transformed into a $249 Benford Yacht Hat? Both hats feature the same Gorget Braid style rope hat band and Gold Anchor side buttons. To replicate the Benford look, simply order the Midway Cap plain with braid and buttons, then add your own custom hand embroidery with Gold Bullion Wire. Get the high-end look without the hefty price tag!"

La Bamba (1987) Connie(Mom):"How could you do this to Ritchie!?" Bob:"To Ritchie!? I did this to me!"

Season 3 The Pigeon Skipper:"Gilligan, if Walter gets to Hawaii for us, we'll build him special cage just for the 2 of you!"

Season 3 The Kidnapper. Mr. Wiley:"If I was a dame, I couldn't resist you!" Gilligan:"I could!" Skipper:"You stay outta this! Now, what were you saying Mr. Wiley?"

Season 2 Mr. & Mrs.??? Gilligan:"It's too bad we don't have a Captain of a boat." Skipper:"Gilligan, what is it you think I look like, a mermaid?" Gilligan:"Oh no Skipper. A mermaid has a long tail and- Oh yeah you're the Captain of the Minnow."

I'm angry at Donna Ludwig's daddy Lawrence. Every time Ritchie Valens called her on the phone, he would lie and say "Donna's not here right now." And she would be sitting right there. She didn't care what her daddy said or thought. She dated Ritchie anyway. That's true love right there!

La Bamba (1987) Ritchie's Ten Day Tour. In this scene, Ritchie bought his mom a house. https://youtu.be/c1ZmKq8d4_0?si=_S3KQJXjVnYCzAFn

I wear glasses but I take them off to recreate the scenes. Fans tell me "Now we know why they got ship wrecked, you should've left your glasses on Skipper!" Lol.

I laugh at this La Bamba (1987) scene in the recording studio when Ritchie is singing and each time Bob Keane says "Cut" Ritchie starts singing again with different words and Bob Keane says "Ritchie don't rewrite the song. Just sing it the way you did the first time ok." I laugh at this too when he tells Ritchie this too "Look Ritchie, I've been to Mexico. I lived there. I know the tradition in music they're always changing the lyrics." Ritchie Valens:"I'm sorry but my music is my music. It's just the way I sing." Bob Morales:"You tell 'em cabron!"

Hahaha "You got a girl out of a machine? Lordy, what won't they think of next?" Lol.

Gilligan's Island Fun Fact: Did you know that Alan Hale Jr., the beloved actor who played the Skipper on Gilligan's Island, was cremated and his ashes were scattered at sea, fulfilling his final wish? A fitting tribute to a man who spent so much time on the water, and in the hearts of fans everywhere.

I've posted so many topics about The Day The Music Died on my Facebook account, I'm surprised my friends haven't said "Next subject already please!" Lol.

It's very comical in the YouTube videos comments section. Fans argue back and forth about Ritchie Valens age. They say: "He was 17." "He was older." "No he was only 17!" "No he was older!"

Rock 'N' Roll Stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, & J. P. The Big Bopper Richardson ages: Buddy Holly 22, Ritchie Valens 17, J. P. The Big Bopper Richardson 28. Pilot Roger Peterson: 21. All the stars looked older than their ages. I wonder if it goes for their pilot too.

Why did an ambulance show up to the Rock 'N' Roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J. P. The Big Bopper Richardson and Pilot Roger Peterson plane crash on February 3, 1959? Everyone was dead. An ambulance wasn't needed. Wow!

I wonder what ingredients go in Alf's drink in his series episode Somewhere Over the Rerun. His Skipper Coladas in those Coconuts. He drilled the hole open and filled them with something. I wonder what kind of booze you put in there? I wanna replicate The Skipper Colada.

La Bamba (1987). Classroom scene. Ritchie Valens:(Staring at Donna.)"Who's the blonde?" Ritchie Valens Friend:"I don't know. But she's out of your league. Forget her. Concentrate on that audition." Ritchie Valens (Continuing to stare at Donna.):"I think I'm in love!"
