Nice Lisa! Really nice. That ought to be worth a mil right there.
OK Zach, you caught me.
So I'm getting excited about this musical that I am writing. I have gotten the
script roughed in and now I'm going back and writing the songs that need writing.
The show is really funny. There is so much calamity in the real historical story.
For instance: The bank that they robbed was across the street from the police station.
They forgot to put gas in the getaway car. There was a "Dead Robber Reward" at the time issued by the Texas Bankers Association that paid $5000 to anyone that killed a robber
in the act of robbing a bank, so no one cared who got shot as long as they killed a robber.
They found over 200 bullet holes in the bank after the robbery. When they lynched the
Bank Robber, Santa Claus, they had to hang him twice because the rope broke the first time.
So many people wanted to view the body after the hanging that since they all couldn't fit in the morgue, the put the body in the local furniture store for viewing. The list goes on and on.
I am writing the musical by day, and working on our septic system at night. Colleen says
I am the only guy that she knows that can write a musical and put in a septic system at the same time. Much Love to All. Billy
