What the heck is wrong with people?

In case nobody has caught on yet, I'll say it one more time loud and clear....I'm obsessed with Peter Deuel. And naturally like anybody who has an overwhelming affection for someone, I want to talk about that someone, share thoughts about that someone and have conversations with other people who also share that same affection and obsession. I had no idea there were so many out there just like me who still loved and appreciated this beautiful man until I started this blog and made some like minded friends. This introduced me to the world of Pete Duel fandom. While on the whole it has been great fun and it has been a tremendous outlet for expressing things I can't express to others who just wouldn't understand my preoccupation with a man who's been dead more than 40 years, I can also sadly say that it has afforded me the unpleasant opportunity to see grown women, much older than my 46 years in most cases, act like jealous school girls vying for the attention of the cutest boy in school. And quite frankly, I'm tired of it. I am embarrassed and ashamed at some of the behavior I have witnessed of late. Especially in light of the fact that someone who knew Peter in life, someone who graciously agreed to share memories of Pete with us had to witness it as well. Sometimes I regret ever venturing past this blog and getting involved with any of it. But I wouldn't have met some of the wonderful people who aren't acting like jealous, petty children either. So the good out weighs the bad. I don't understand why some people feel that they have to be the first one or the only one who shares a picture or contacts a friend of Peter's and if they aren't the first one then they have to be jealous and do what ever they can to upstage the other person. It's ridiculous and it's destructive. With that said I will now say this...I am going to take a break from facebook groups for a while. I will still continue to post occasionally on my Evangeline page, but I need to stay away from the other two pages I am a member of for right now. When these kind of episodes occur it disturbs me and it somehow damages the special bond I feel with this lovely, special man's spirit. And that is something I simply cannot allow. He is my inspiration and my muse. So if you don't see me around facebook groups for a while, you know the reason. But don't worry, I'll be lurking.

Now on to something fun and happy.....

As you can see, Peter insisted on taking me for a drive to calm my nerves. He's so thoughtful and sweet like that. Don't we look cute together. I hope everybody gets over the hump today and slides easily into the end of the week and right on into a great weekend.

Peace, love and dimpled smiles to you all,
Karen :')

as always, love you Peter

Happy Birthday to my Daddy

I lost my daddy on June 16, 2004. I still miss him every single day. He would have walked through fire for me and my brother and sister. I made this video to honor Peter, but it applies to my Daddy as well. January 31 is his birthday. Happy birthday, Daddy. I love you and I will see you again

Stormy night

It looks like I'm in for a rough night here in Kentucky. Severe storms and tornadoes are expected. With that in mind, here's another song from 1971....

1971 in Music

1971 was the final year in Peter Deuel's life. I've recently been listening to lots of music from that year, wondering if he liked this song or that one. Just one of the many things that my Peter Deuel obsessed mind does on a daily basis. I have been sharing some of these songs on my facebook page, but unfortunately the significance of these songs is lost on people who either don't know Peter or don't care. And here I have a wonderful resource like this blog and an audience who is familiar with and in some cases extremely invested in Mr. Deuel. So I think I will start sharing some of this fantastic music from 1971 with anybody who happens by to listen. I hope you enjoy it. And many times, the song I pick will reflect my mood. So hang on for this roller coaster ride into 1971.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. It is entirely dedicated to my fanfiction story about Hannibal Heyes finding a true love. Everything here is somehow AS&J related. If you're an "Alias Smith and Jones" Fan, everything on my blog is familiar to you. If you're not a fan or you've never heard of "Alias Smith and Jones" or Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, I hope visiting my blog will introduce you to them and make you a fan. And just to let everyone know, while I adore the show and both characters my loyalty always has and always will lie with Pete Duel's Hannibal Heyes. I have always been and will always be an unapologetic, faithful, unwavering, die hard fan of Pete's and his character.

Karen's Favorites ~ My Favorite AS&J Episodes and why

Here's a list of my top 10 favorite episodes and one of the things about each one that makes it a favorite. I have added more than one for the top three. I could probably make a whole other blog about why I love my top 3. But I'll try to keep it short here.

10. "The Pilot" The "Walk off" scene is exquisite.

9. "Journey from San Juan" Heyes is unwaiveringly adorable throughout. "Captain McRavish"

8. "Stagecoach 7" Heyes shoots his gun! (and if you watch really close, he gets his shots off a whole lot quicker than Kid)

7. "Wrong Train to Brimstone" The synchronized hoist up into the train car. And Pete looks fabulous in this one.

6. "Jailbreak at Junction City" "...somethin' smells around here." "Maybe the way you play poker."

5. "Smiler With a Gun" The boys collapsing onto each other in exhaustion - fantastic acting.

4. "The Day They Hanged Kid Curry" I can't pick just one moment. I think the whole episode is hilarious.

3. "The Reformation of Harry Briscoe" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps. "If either of you boys would care to join us in the fellowship of evening prayer..." and the entire scene that follows. "Mr. Smiff." Shoshone. Heyes defends a woman! "It's Smith sweetheart." "I get terrible claustrophobee!"

The dive behind the bush. Kid takes four hits before losing at blackjack.

2. "The Bounty Hunter" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps....oh, God the chaps. The bear hug. From "Heyes, look what's goin' on down there." to "Let's not make it a habit" is perfection. Especially getting to see Heyes use his gun. "Wait 'til I tell you. Alright, get down." Heyes' entire story about the mayor's daughter and the church suits and the wedding cake...absolutely perfect and hilarious. Heyes and Kid's explanation as to why it's inconceivable that they could be the notorious outlaws. The boys are willing to risk their own necks to report the injustice of what happens to Joe.

1. "The Posse That Wouldn't Quit" Lots of Heyes on horseback. Heyes in his undies. Heyes sings. The Kid shows off his nice butt and his shooting skill. The horse race to the picnic spot. The girls and their crushes. The love that grows between our boys and this family. "Did you have an Apache with you?" "Must be the entire devil's hole gang." "Hang little girls." The Kid looses yet another coin toss. The only time we ever hear Kids full name "Jedediah Curry. Shoshone and Carroll. Heyes in disguise as an unruly drunk. And OMG, when he says "Don't move a hair boys," his voice is so deep and sexy I can hardly take it.

"I got rid of my mustache, why don't you get rid of yours?" Heyes tosses his tattered old hat into the air and it lands on the street as they speed off into the next episode. The only thing that could have made this episode better would have been the boys wearing chaps and Heyes shooting his Smith and Wesson.
