Happy Birthday, Slim Whitman!


The Singin' Starduster is 83 today. I've confessed to my fondness for Slim's work before, but I'll mention again that I've seen him perform three times. I'll bet nobody reading this can make that claim.

I've seen him perform 38,000 times. In his commercials.

I should have known you'd be far ahead of me.

Anyone who saw Mars Attacks knows that he saved us from the Martians.

And for those exploding heads we should be eternally grateful.

I stole that photo off the 'Net. I wish I did have his signature. I'll bet you got an album signed at that show.

You haven't lived until you've seen SCTV's "Indira" (spoofing "Evita") with Joe Flaherty playing "Slim Whitman as Che."

Sounds like a classic.

Am I the only one who thinks Slim looks like Tex Avery's wolf?

mybillcrider said...

Well, now that you mention it. . . .

I'm a friend of Slim's and ran his fan club here in the U.S. for 23 yeras. Please see website:
