hello art, hildebrand here. my pocket latin dictionary defines Festivus as: "gay, jolly, delightful; (speech) humorous." it's from the noun/adjective Festus: "festal, on holiday; holiday, feast, Matt Dillon's deputy."
speaking of that, did you know that ken curtis (festus)had a beautiful tenor voice, had been a member of the sons of the pioneers, and before that a swingband singer with one of the dorseys or woody herman or one of those? now i've turned it into a music thread. ha! all the best, hildebrand
