Scary Halloween Resemblances at DL

Discovered in recent weeks was the excellent casting of Dave Eastley, Evan Marshall and John Marshall as the Ghostly Trio. As these photos reveal, once in their costumes, the popular Disneyland musicians bore a striking resemblance to The Haunted Mansions resident hitchhikers. The hitchhikers better watch their step or they could be replaced by this trio of "deadly dapper dudes".

For more fascinating and remarkable resemblances,

Billies Going to Michigan in November.

Dateline, Grand Rapids- Nov.7-11, 2002

   Sad Disneyland fans everywhere marked Nov. 7-11 as NON BILLY DAYS on their calendars, as Billy & the Hillbillies will be in Michigan performing with the Grand Rapids Symphony. Concerts dates are Friday and Saturday, Nov 8-9 at 8pm and a matinee at 3 pm on Sunday, Nov. 10.

   Who will be replacing them in the Golden Horseshoe is not known at this time. [editor's note: We hope it's that spirited new musical, "Frontierland: The Little Town That Could".

   A lively and spirited show, their symphony performances are not to be missed. If you are in the Michigan area, contact the Grand Rapids Symphony for tickets at 616-454-9451 or log on at www.grsymphony.com

Dateline, DCA- Sept. 25, 2002

Billy sub and Barncat regular, Rick Dunham has a CD available called San Antonio.

In this reporter opinion, it is the best country style CD to be heard in a long time. Copies are available through Rick. Pop on over and pay him a visit at DCA and tell him the Billy Gazette highly recommended it.

 CD's are $10.00 each. For more CD info, go to Jan's Barncats Page
