Abbot & Costello :-)

Fantastic story & wonderful priceless photo!! Thank you for sharing this! I dotn remember Burl Ives much other than I think he did the Christmas cartoons of Frosty the Snow man and Rudolf the Reindeer didnt he? Congradulations on getting the story and photo!

You are quite right, he did those voices and also the Christmas song; "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas."

Brilliant story and awonderful B/W photo! I had no idea about these two men but know I have! Wonderful work! Bravo!!! V

Great portrait of the both of you, and I really enjoyed your "pep talk." It is posts like these I really love. Yes, the world is out there for the taking, we just have to get off our derriers. If Tedz can get a gig, than the rest of us can as well! ;^P Wonderful post, thank you so much for sharing!

Wow thanks for the story.

Great story and beautiful b&w portrait !

Great shot and story! He always seemed like a regular guy to me. Kind of reminds me of my dad in this shot. Go to http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=776585&Start=13&Artist=ijack999&ByArtist=Yes and you'll see what I mean.

I did know it Paul, we are Fossils!!! We know Burl Ives!!!;o) But it is a great picture and I can imagine you are very proud about, like I still have a secret place for my the letters out of a penfriendschip with a german actor, when I was a teenager! ;o) That are memories who are much more pretious than diamands!!! Wonderful story and I love that this picture is in black and white!!!!

Brilliant story and portrait ! Excellent work !!! Thanks for sharing ! V

Kort is right: 1. pictures like this one are a change from the landscapes/sunsets/household pets. 2. if we don't pull our fingers out, we can only blame ourselves.

Now this is a fascinating story!! I really enjoyed reading this and I thx u for sharing this with us! Also a great portrait shot!

Nice photo, and a very interesting story. Thanks for sharing both.

Wow! What an incredible story!!!!! YOU GO!!!! you've got a lot of initiative and it paid off!!!! You're absoulutely right!!! all they can do is say no. what do we have to lose!!! Burl Ives has a wonderful voice & what a memory you have here!!!!!!! A once-in-a=lifetime chance. You went after it and got it!!!! Good for you!!! Incredible portrait!!!

Great story, very well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! sorry I never hear of him, but your story is a good one. nothin is impossiblibile if you really want it. I think you too look very nice together, a great portrait and a lot of memories. eccellent. Vote. Lina

Sorry I cannot read what is written (I speak only french) I don't know these two guys! A very nice picture Paul..Great shot V :)

I loved Burl Ives...such a nice man...and your work is absolutley superb..as usual! bravo...V

nice capture of a real good singer I alwys like his music

As a child, I was convinced that Burl Ives was truly a snowman...anyone who could portray a character in a chldren's animated Christmas story so believably, had to be a remarkable man....he was a voice in all my childhood Christmases...they never would have been the same without him.....and your wonderful tribute shows him in just such a giving light. Unforgettable. VOTE

I grew listerning to Burl Ives, and not only he was a talent singer, he was quite humorous also. I enjoyed his many talents greatly. excellent capture Paul and I am jealous you was able to meet him in person, but glad you shared this foto.V

hey, Paul you lucky man. i like your story and photography.unfortunality i didnt know Burl Ives, but now i will have a look at him. !!!!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!!!!
