Subject: ALL THE NEWS that's fit to print from Grizzly Peak ....

Papa Jed and the Miners '49ers took advantage of the gorgeous weather to take a run down Grizzly Peak and visit with the folks in the valley. Several people mentioned to Jed that they would usually be over at the Golden Horseshoe Saloon, but because it was closed, they came over to see 'what's what' at the Miners. Jed told them that Billy Hill and the Hillbillies were in Gnashville living in their mansion called 'Billywood'. An interested party asked, "Billy would do what?" and Jed said, "Billy would do just about anything!"

All joshing aside, Jed introduced the Miners (GOLDminers, he calls them): 'Eureka' Rick on fiddle, 'Whistlin' Rick on banjo, John-John on Dobro and filling in for golden-voiced 'Grizzly' Dave was 'Grizzly' Barry on bass.

Opening number was 'Blackberry Blossom", next John-John's BIG number "Panhandle Rag" with fancy footwork by Jed, 'Whistlin' Rick's REALLY
BIG number "New River Train", and last but not least, Jed sang "Dooley" about a guy who had eluded the local constabulary, "What's that?" asked the Miners, Jed explained "He ran from the cops", Miners still didn't get it, so Jed told them to "Read a book!"

Squatters' Rights had three Daniel Boone wannabes in coonskin caps trying for the prize (very nice hats, BTW) and the show ended with Chip and Dale, those two internationally famous rodents, holding hands and dancing with the kids. Yee-Haw!

ALADDIN ....
Big surprise at "Aladdin" -- Jeremy Carter of D.U.H. and LaughingStock fame played the part of Iago the Parrot. "I'm a whole new bird" sang Jeremy
before he ceased to exist. I think they took him offstage and shot him.

LAUGHINGSTOCK....
Mike (the handsome but stupid Sheriff) -- how stupid is he? According to Black Bart (Ken), Sheriff Mike went hunting one day, saw some tracks, followed them not knowing if they were deer or elk tracks, and was hit by a train. I think the Miners also know the Sheriff. Sam was played by Danny.

THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE SALOON ....
There's a big brown curtain covering the front porch section of the 'Shoe that includes the entrance doors, and looks a little like a building being fumigated. I don't know if it's being fumigated but something should be done to rid the place of all those beetles.
