The script was written and the recording done in 1982 (approx.) and made into a video 2012. Starring 3 Stizzo brothers, 2 Evans brothers, 1 Guerrero and 1 Giovannoni. The idea came about during the period the Blitz band was touring the NW. I had a cowboy had that made me look like an old west Rabbi. To keep each other amused on long drives, we'd goof around and the character of the Frontier Rabbi came to be. Several years later I wrote a script for reasons I don't exactly understand. But a bunch of friends got together and we did this radio(type) play, pretty much in one take. My rabbi voice is based on a combo of the Rev. Shecky Stein (from America2nite) and Jackie Mason. Shorty's Old Prospector is a cross between Gabby Hayes and Walter Brennan.
