What it’s like ambushing Dave Coulier with his Full House TV theme song, then jamming with him onstage at Jardine‘s?
Most excellent, reports keyboard wizard Mark Lowrey, who did all of the above last Friday at the Plaza jazz joint.
"He actually sounded pretty good," Lowrey says of Coulier’s harmonica jam. "I finally got to scratch that off the bucket list."
Oh and don’t miss Lowrey’s Live at Jardine’s CD release party this coming Monday at Jardine’s
Everybody Loves Rodney?
Turns out not everybody in Lawrence or at KU was enamored with former KU tickets czar Rodney Jones…
Oh sure, many recipients of Jones ticket schmoozes – like the coach who got primo ducats for a porn star – couldn’t have been happier to kiss up to party boy when Jones played sugar plum fairy to their game day needs and wants. But that Jones went down hard in the ticket scandal many think led to athletic director Lew Perkins hasty exit comes as little surprise to others who had a different prespective.
"What I’m not shocked at is that Rodney was involved," says one source with ties to the ticket trafficing. "He was a snake – I didn’t like that sonnuvagun."
The source characterizes Jones as a divorced playboy who hung out with celebs like Danny Manning and lived about as large as one can live and get away with it in a small college town like Lawrence.
Knuckle Sandwich?
Funny guy Josh Wolf’s take on the concept of quarterback Brett Favre transmitting photos of his you-know-what to Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger:
"Let me ask you guys, would you ever in your lifetime send someone a picture of your dick if it looked like that? I thought it looked like his thumb. But then I looked again and there was no knuckle."
HEARNE…ONLY YOU AND GLAZER
could feel imporant running with an old guy who starred in a show
that was 30 years ago..and which 99% of te people could care less
about….who plays a harmonica….and you two guys think this
old old tv star is like famous the world over.
Outside the hicks of kc…probably noone recognizes this guy
anywhere….saw him at a carwash one time and asked if he’d
added armor all to my tires!
Who’s next for the cool gys in kc to hang out with…heard granny
from beverly hillbillies is gonna play her moonshine jug down
at jardines..or maybe jed clampett comes in and tap dances to
some unknown pianist at jardines.
Or maybe all your make belive friends fly in and we get to see
thesev nobodies who once had a show…oh forget jj walked…he’s
still breathing…get him on stage …dyn o mite!

WALLY AND THE BEAVE HAD THEIR PICS TAKEN WITH ME…
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE………WHAT FUN…WHAT MORE FUN CAN A
GROWN GUY HAVE…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Agreed Harley
Hearne, maybe you guys could get Tom Wopat to come to town. Or that guy from BJ and the Bear, or maybe Gopher from Love Boat. Too bad Jim Varney is dead (I think). Or that guy who says "you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay….").
"You Guys?"
Hey, I’m not the guy booking comedy here. The show did go off the air in 1995 (I never watched it, don’t do TV, sorry) but I did hang with Coulier two years ago. At Velvet Dog, Martini Corner and Jardine’s. And he was inundated with 30-somethings wanting to schmooze with him. Maybe you guys are just too old, eh?
