Happy Birthday Jeannie!

[edwardofhuncote]

My own personal Fairy Godmother is 2083 years old today, after reportedly having been born in 'Old Babylon' way back in 64 B.C.

Jeannie never fails to cheer me up on the crappiest of days, and she's always there, right over my shoulder at every gig, making sure nobody messes with my flat amp settings, or swipes a piece of my gum. She totally gets all my other eccentricities and obsessions too. Ever since my Mom flipped on Screen Gems to keep me occupied and out from underfoot, me and Jeannie have been best buds for life.

Someone messed with my amp settings once; we were setting up and I couldn't figure out why my cabinet sounded so bad until I noticed all the tone controls had been reset.  I suppose someone thought they were being cleverly funny.  I never let on that I figured what had happened, I just let everyone know I had fixed the problem and then finished setting up.

   See, everybody needs a Jeannie!

Well, I honestly didn't have time to binge-watch last night (too much shop-work backlog to catch up on) but I did celebrate the occasion by watching the couple episodes of IDOJ: "The Girl Who Never Had A Birthday".

Like she always does, Barbara Eden put up a post on her page with the clip where Jeannie finally finds out when her birthday is. I'm not on Facebook but hers is a publicly viewable one.

FWIW, Barbara is 87, still a busy actress, and as sharp and witty as ever.

So there I was, just hangin' out in The Bottle with Jeannie last night, trying once again to figure out what to get for the imaginary girl who already has everything you can imagine... and I says- "so I reckon after about 2000 years in here, this isolation thing is kinda' old-hat to you darlin'?" Even Jeannie has her limits... you'd think I'd know where they are. 

Happy Birthday, Jeannie!

It's funny, I play that theme in the middle of solos sometimes and everyone loves it. That and the Munsters, lol.

I’ve been known to play themes from “Leave It To Beaver” and “Star Trek” while we’re futzing around between songs.
