Marvin and I both forgot that April 1 marked 36 years together, so happy anniversary to two April fools! I can’t remember what possessed us to have one of these western-style photos made, but I do remember dragging along our cat, Underfoot, to the shoot along with my banjo.
If you look closely, you’ll see that Underfoot has two heads. The camera was authentic, which meant one had to be very still for I think about 5 seconds. Tell that to a cat. Note the banjo behaved itself. This was taken in 1977.

Congratulations! You picked an auspicious day. (But I’m a little biased because April 1 happens to be my birthday!) Here’s to many more years together at the Funny Farm! 🙂
