Pleasant Read
I was lucky enough to stay with the Martin’s when I was about four years old- I threw up in a guest bedroom with excitement at the idea of Disneyland- but I remember a yellow bed and a brown American car of huge size and a bear of a man with a warm husky voice. I was probably shy, but not to shy to tell him I was wearing purple pants apparently. I hope I made him laugh. I’ve loved his music and films but especially his stage performances all my life- this was a good short introduction to Dean, and I hope inspires people to read more and watch more and listen to more!
