Charlie told me he just lost 95 pounds.
Ellen is prettier than in the picture, and
she is an AWESOME lady. A gifted artist,
as well.

Those pix with Pardo, Betty and Ann Cullen are absolutely priceless!

And now there is photographic evidence that we put on a performance of Match Game!

Our first contestant, who can be seen in the photo, is an attorney for BMI. He was actually my living nightmare! I was using all of this production music without any regard for performance rights, and my nightmare was that an attorney from BMI would show up and bust me. It turns out that as long as the venue is licensed (Holiday Inn), we were OK. He was real nice about it and not concerned about our music use.

The only thing that could possibly have been any worse is to have drawn a child to play.

At least the child knew how to play the game.   :)

Had she stayed around, most of the material would have been over her head. It's just as well that she was eliminated early on.

While there might be many reasons for a producer to be concerned that a child is playing a game designed for adults, I've learned that "over her head" is not a phrase I would ever, ever use with any member of the Suchard family.

As I recall, she was the only contestant to go 6 for 6 during Match Game 2005.

That was Maddie.  This was another young Suchard (and I'm blanking on her first name).

/Like I blanked on a few of the preguntas during the game.

Emma.  And having not seen Maddie in person in a couple of years, I stupidly assumed she hadn't aged any in that period of time and mistook her for her younger sister.  Both girls were terribly understanding of the old, stupid bald guy.

Fortunately for you, that wasn't one of them.  :)
