Really CUTE kitty in this costume.
The cat is trying to walk in it. And he like most cats is probably not too happy wearing it. Speaking of clothes on kitties. Here is a link to my video of me and my kitty ( Ludalf ) when we were on the road with the Greenmen band from the Batman TV show in Reno NV. Yep,,, I had my kitty with me on the road and we had a great time touring and working with different artists. We made the news because Ludalf is the only cat ever allowed to gamble in a real casino with a tuxido on. The tuxido was hand made for him by my sister in-law Anne. I still have Ludalf's tuxido too. Enjoy, Gary https://youtu.be/fmhxCyR-HRA ( Gary's Kitty Ludalf Gambling in Reno Nevada )

Thanks for your kind comments. Specially about my kitty Ludalf. Having him with me on the road was a great thing. He even got me out of having to room with anyone else. ( I always got my own motel room with him. ) My hobby was to get his picture with celebrities too. When I was with the Greenmen band and we opened for folks in concerts I would invite them to take a picture with him after shows in my room. I did play drums for Freddy Fender,,, and Jana Jae from the Hee Haw TV show. I even have letters of recommendation from Freddy and Jana. I also played drums with Mel Tillis,,, and Johnny Lee,,, and Johnny Tillotson just to mention a few. I worked for over 25 years as a professional musician. I still keep in touch with friends. But the best things I remember about the business is the nice folks I met,,, and of course my kitty Ludalf. One thing I did that I was proud of was originating drum comedy. I would play the drums with everything from a hatchet to an enema bag. And I was the first to juggle tennis balls while playing drums in concert. I have lots of videos I want to put on youtube. But I do have three of me doing this there now. Here are the links if you want to see them. And a couple of me playing with Freddy in Branson, MO. I'm working on more, but they are all on VHS. So I have to transfer them to disk first. ( WHEW,,, Hard for an old fart like me ) Hope you enjoy these. Best Regards, Gary PS, When I can I want to put more videos of Ludalf on youtube too. I have about 40 of Callie and Brumby there now. ( some playing with flying paper models ) https://youtu.be/XrMY7mMsatE ( Freddy Fender with Gary Dare on Drums 1 ) https://youtu.be/_3EjUcW_GZs ( Freddy Fender with Gary Dare on drums 2 ) https://youtu.be/8nTFSRwwsDU ( Gary Dare Drum Toys 1 in Branson, MO ) https://youtu.be/QGae-Hhtxa4 ( Gary Dare Drum Toys 2 in Branson, MO ) https://youtu.be/cZTdLZ8KbOE ( Gary Dare Drum Toys 3 in Branson, MO )

Dear Gary:
Did ludolf enjoy car and I assumed that you toured in a bus rides? In 64 years I have had one cat Charley who loved to go for car and van rides, you just had to say Charley what to go for a ride he would beat you to the front door open the door he went right to the car drivers door then when it opened he hopped right in front paws on the dash he loved the van because he would lay down on the dash. Was that the Fender of the electric guitar fame? My daughter plays a fender P bass. Nice Picture of Ludolf, Miles

I always drove my own vehicle on the road. And Ludalf would treat the car like an extention of a motel room. I had a litter box and water and food for him in the back. And he would ride next to me or in my lap when he was sleeping. Freddy Fender was a stage name he used. And he took the name fender from the guitar. His real name was Baldemar Huerta. He was a nice guy to work with and had a great sense of humor. A funny thing about him was he was afraid of Ludalf and all cats. This was from him being a kid and scratched by a cat. I will try to find the one picture I have of them together and post it. Best Regards, Gary

LUDALF and celebrities
Hi Guys, and Gals,
As I had some time to search in my stuff today, ( WHEW ) I found some pictures of Ludalf with celebrities that I will be posting for you all to enjoy. I worked with lots of folks during my career. And as I said in my other post,,, My hobby was to ask celebrities to take pictures with Ludalf after shows. It was nice that alot of them were happy to do this. They all thought it was Cool that I had Ludalf with me on the road. So here are the first of them for you to see. Freddy Fender,,, Jana Jae,,, Shanandoah,,, Johnny Tillotson,,, and Paul Zuccini from the Famous Barnum and Baily circus family. More to come later, OK? Hope you enjoy these. Best Regards, Gary
