WELCOME

HI, WELCOME TO THE GARAGE. LIKE ALL GARAGES, THIS ONE IS PACKED FULL OF NEW, USED AND SLIGHTLY DENTED UP CHARACTERS. THERE'S ONE HOT SPORTS CAR NAMED CHICO, A GARBAGE TRUCK CALLED LOUIE AND A CROTCHETY OLD ANTIQUE NAMED ED BROWN. THEY ALL HAVE MILES ON THEM BUT WE LOVE THEM LIKE DEAR OLD FRIENDS.

SEPTEMBER 13, 1974 TWO MEN WALKED ONSTAGE. THE SETTING; NBC STUDIOS, BURBANK CALIFORNIA. WITHIN THE NEXT THIRTY MINUTES LIVES WOULD BE CHANGED, DREAMS WOULD BE CAST AND HOPES WOULD BE FULFILLED. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THESE TWO MEN, WITH 40 SOME ODD YEARS BETWEEN THEM COULD CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY. THEY MADE THE NATION LAUGH, CRY AND TOLERATE THE DIFFERENCES WE ALL FACE EACH DAY. THEY DEALT WITH ISSUES THAT WERE IMPORTANT AT THE TIME AND SOMEHOW THE GAPS BETWEEN ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS, LIFESTYLES AND AGE BECAME A LITTLE SMALLER.

ALMOST A QUARTER OF A CENTURY HAS PASSED. THE SOCIAL ISSUES THAT THESE TWO MEN FACED ARE STILL HERE TODAY. WE STILL HAVE ALL THE CONCERNS ABOUT RACE, GENDER, UNITY, TOLERANCE AND AGE THAT WE HAD BACK THEN...BUT THROUGH IT ALL WE STILL REMEMBER HOW TO LAUGH.

THANK YOU CHICO AND ED...YOU ARE MISSED BUT NEVER, EVER FORGOTTEN.

THIS IS MY NEW SITE. I DIDN'T WANT TO CALL IT PRINZE OF HEARTS BUT I STILL WANTED IT TO HAVE THE POSITIVE, FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE THAT MY OLD SITE ONCE HAD.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LAUGH, GIGGLE, SMILE, SWOON AND, IN GENERAL, FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN. I WILL BE POSTING THE BARRIO IN IT'S ORIGINAL GLORY(I HOPE) BACK ON AN MSN WEB SITE AND I WILL BE POSTING A LINK HERE AS SOON AS IT'S UP AND RUNNING. IN THE MEANTIME...PLEASE REMEMBER, THERE IS ONLY ONE RULE HERE...HAVE FUN!
