Mel Brooks followed up his hit comedies "Blazing Saddles","Young Frankenstein" and "Silent Movie" with "High Anxiety", a 1978 spoof of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers that once again featured many of his regular performers: Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Ron Carey, Charlie Callas and Jack Riley - with Brooks in the lead role. Future Academy Award winning director Barry Levinson both co-wrote the film and also appeared as an extremely agitated bell hop.

Hey, it is just days away from Christmas - so the counting down has begun! Are you ready with your Jamaican rum bottle? You know, that one you got tucked away for the big day. It's already opened!! Are you loaded already? Nooooo! What will Santa think? Let's forgo that and loosen the collar up a bit. Christmas is coming! I know, for many of you, including you, winter's biggest party is almost here! After all, it is made for those who wish for more than a few wrapped cigars of Havana origins under the tree. Frankly speaking, when it comes to the carol, it is well-known. A true Christmas classic that was written in 1816, on a guitar with words eventually translated for us in English. It wasn't til Xmas Eve 1818, that it was 1st performed in the Church of St. Nicholas, in a town called Oberndorf bei Salzburg in Austria; nearby the City of Salzburg by eleven iles. Originally called "Stille Nacht" for those who want to know. So as the story goes, Franz Xaver Gruber and a Joseph Mohr are the two responsible for it. Gruber, he was an organ player and a headmaster at a primary school in those days. Mohr was a man of the church, a priest. Mohr wrote out the Christmas poem in 1816, and Gruber, he added more of it musically before the Christmas of 1818. So now the place of Oberndorf is now known by you as the town that "Silent Night" originated from. But there is more! It wasn't until years had gone by, in the year 1943, most of our fathers and mothers found out that it came from Europe with the introduction to North American schools. Even those in Europe were taught about it's origins. Did you know that? If you ever go to Frankenmuth, Michigan, you can see a replica of the original church where it all began. I've been there. How about you? A great time to be at during the month of December. And furthermore, the Austrian church where it originated from, it was wiped-away by a flood years back in the late 1890s. So the newly reconstructed church is a special place for those that care for that kind of thing. I know there is many of you. A Barvarian-type area in Michigan? True. Now with all that, I do think I should say, the elegant lady does complement the night with much of her involvement for a good cause at Christmas. That's the truth! All told, I look forward always to it heard in the month of December. And you?
