how many people think did they test for
the world of you know there was a child
Nancy I mean many right and you've won
number one in well how many did you say
I don't know a couple hundred or
something no I'd say no not that many
you know they didn't do that many film
castles but they had a lot of pretty big
people
mm-hmm that were very interested in
doing his book surveillance before right
it was very interesting because Lincoln
I thought very tempting it was very
tempting for the powers of me you know
for Columbia Pictures and so on to be
interested in those people but
eventually they decided they wanted to
go for sort of the real McCoy like the
real singing dryly of darkness in a
minute yeah because you grew up in that
atmosphere in any era
any oh you know the 1950s through 1950s
through to up to the 70s was a wonderful
awell 1930s here you know it was a
wonderful era for musical comedy musical
films but they became so exorbitant ly
expensive like Ziegfeld oh well that was
an era was 104 like the others wonderful
1930s and 1940s a musical and movies but
then and then it went on to the musical
comedy you know today and and but but
then there came became a dearth of it
because it got to a point I think really
all of the and and funny girl with you
know because that was the same year I
love gotten funny girl the Barbra
Streisand came out the same the same
year you know but then after that it's
the musical sort of there was a great
dearth of musicals because but they came
too expensive they just became too
expensive but and if they failed oh what
a headache
well you know
all that money I heard Shanee that the
best musicals in the whole world are the
American musical yes but that's what I
heard yes and they are the country that
makes the most movies in the whole world
is India they supersede any other
country yes they do maybe they do them
in a hurry and and maybe they need four
hours a day they go to them really how
interesting I wonder how long how long
it takes them to make a movie don't you
no idea but pretty soon we're gonna take
a break

some kind and she did Oliver own tile oh
I got a tennis elbow talking about this
table that you're building from is huge
table yo I bought it I brought all this
wood and I want to make this big table
and I saw somebody on television just
like we are now talking about how to
make it now do it you did it
well yes I brother all the wood around
it and then I put it on a base like this
you know but then once you've got them
nailed all the wood together you had to
cover it all with chicken wire you know
so I've covered the whole thing with
chicken wire because you have to put big
sore on it and thick soil is like a
cement you know it's kind of a type of
cement and I wanted to do a sort of a
dramatic creative number so I've got all
this chicken wire on it and then put the
buttocks or on and wrap it put my rubber
gloves on you or the gloves on did this
kind of a number on it but the problem
was is the pixhawk it dries in a flash
