OK, so it's not music related, but he did colour a large part of my childhood, and I daresay, the childhoods of many other 'Catters of my generation. The man should have had an award every year of his life for bringing such joy and laughter to so many many people. LTS |

19 Dec 06 - 03:19 AM (#1913356) Subject: RE: Obit: Joe Barbera - Flintstones creator From: MBSLynne Agreed Liz!! Some of my most enduring childhood memories are to do with his cartoons. I remember when I was about nine we used to have a grocery delivery from the local Co-op on a Thursday evening and my sister's and my weekly treat was a tube of Smarties which came with the delivery. We used to eat them while watching the Flinstones. He probably lived to such a great age due to laughing.... Love Lynne |

She had a gorgeous dirty chuckle and the neighbours used to come in when the Hucckleberry Hound show was coming on, just to hear her laugh at it! Love Lynne |
