DS hookers

[Birdie]

I have that LP too.  Still have all my vinyl.  The posters sorry to say are long gone. sob.  The album still plays well, I think I mentioned I still have a turntable.  My kids are use to my oddities.  The ablums are stored in a old crate purchased at my favorite antique store and it sits in front of my cd/stero in the family room  I never did get into the eight tracks.  


Funny at times I find my self humming Josettes theme lately.  Believe it or not I remembered all the words to Quentin's theme.  

Birdie--whos kids knows she is nuts

To the music junkie still having vinyl isnt so strange, (geez, if thats strange than I am in desperate need of help). Allen still has vinyl, 8tracks, (although play them rarely), cassettes and, (hold on to your hat for this one) reel to reel. So dont feel bad about having the gadgets of yesteryear.

Like most of you I still have all the DS vinyl, but would love to get a prerecorded version of DS music vol I on Phillips. Does anyone know if such a thing exists??

Much to the wifeys chagrin, I keep EVERYDAMTHING  about 36 of those crates of vinyl, cases of 8 tracks [now coming to collectors appreciation!?!?]and cassettes, TVGuides, all my old toys [just found my Eye Guess, Video Village and Uncle Wiggly - no joke - games recently].  Hardly a day - at least when I am conscious - goes by without the turntable spinning something. [but I am systematically burning much over to CD!]

the collection includes the sheet music to Quentin's theme!


My DS hooker story really stems from noticing the girls huddling around in the band room early in the series run talking about the show - I was home, sick again and Mom was watching the show because of J Bennett I think, and realized I would have something to talk to the little girls about, and became a regular at the daily re-hash sessions, about the only guy, so I picked out the one who looked most like TLATKLS........   I used to take a lot of crapola from the 'he-men' type guys for hanging out with the girls [also wore flowered shirts and bellbottoms - but Hey it was hanging out with the chicks!]   but then soon the story itself really hooked me, and about the time of the current storyline my aunt [who had a tape recorder!!!!] would tape the show and play it back when  I had to miss it for band practice, or bus trips with the foot-duh-ball team [again, the DS crew sat together on the bus - those were great trips, in so many ways!]  One thing, I have said before, on viewing as an adult  when I first saw the show as a kid,  I totally missed all the lovey-dovey stuff, that drives so much of the plot! [except the long-term effect a certain cast member had on me!]

Hey, I am feeling much better now with those pleasant, inspriational thoughts!

I'm an AOL user    so I guess I'll have to try and register from work!  I love all the pictures people can put in.  I only hope I'll know how to do it when I finally get registerd. 

Anyway, for me the hooker was.....

The great voices and the music.  I love the DS music and I could listen to the DS actors talk all day.  My favorites are of course David Selby what a voice.  And Humbert Allen Astredo.  I just loved him as Nicholas Blair.  And Trask well him and his speeches are just too much!
The other thing I liked is that the Collins' were always up all night and prowling around the woods.  There was always a cliffhanger, I just couldn't wait to see what wild storyling they came up with next.

Confession time. . while Mom says I always responded to Grayson's voice and obviously still do.  . .my first tangible memory of being hooked on DS is the following:  
1976,  CBS late night movie. I'm 9 years old, sitting 4 feet from the big b/w television watching House of Dark Shadows. The scene after Carolyn has been attacked savagelyby Barnabas and she is sprawled against the banister in her white dress with blood oozing down her neck, her dead eyes all glassy.  ..that GOT me for sure!  I also loved the scene were old Barney barges into the the Lady Doctor's bedroom, she looks **real scared** and he strangles her in a mad fit of frenzy!  Creeped out that little 9 year old!

My first experience was the very first time I saw DS ( on the original run in '66). There was this lady with " the eyes"   with a mirror looking for someone's reflection in it. And so it began that I was always looking to see what she was looking at.

>'Good idea including the escort service!<

but I just thought that line belonged under this one!

and it reminds me of a story about a guy who has his wallet in his mouth . . . .

When I was little I was hooked during the parallel time story line when everyone was trying to figure out if Alexis was really Angelique.

When I got to see the show again later I was hooked from the start. I remember in one of the 1st eps I saw, Willie staring up at that portrait of Barnabas while his eyes lit up and you could hear the heart beating.

OK Rainey Park. I have taken you up on your challenge to explain how I became hooked. (As if you didn't know! )

I don't remember the actual episode...It was the 1960's - a looooooooooooooong time ago. I used to walk home from school every day with my best friend. She had been watching DS for a while, and talked about almost nothing else. I  finally went to her house one day, instead of going home, to see what all the fuss was about. Well, there was not, and never had been, anything like it on TV. Not even close.
Oh sure, the acting was horrible (who knows how many rewrites they were handed just before airtime), the technical stuff worse (crashing & banging in the background , the boom in the picture, stagehands walking onto the set during a scene), costumes (don't get me started! ) & props from Orbach's (I used to love that store!), & sometimes the writing was just to fill up time or just plain bad ("This place gives me the Willies" -is that a spoiler??), but we RAN home everyday, for the next I don't know how many years, just to see it.
It was wonderful.

I should have taken "Verbose" as my screen name, shouldn't I?
