Synchronicity in action: Stoney Curtis

Two milestones occurred today – Actor Tony Curtis passed away at age 85 and The Flintstones celebrate it’s 50th anniversary.

Google dedicated it’s home page to the modern stone age family, so today my post will honor both. Even though the actor is best known in movies like “Sweet Smell of Success” and “Some Like It Hot,” he also did a cameo on the cartoon shows sixth season in 1965 as “Stoney Curtis.” Be a good “slave boy” and get the episode here.

What has any of this to do with music? Not that much actually, but the cartoon show did feature many classic musical episodes with “The Way Outs” and “The Bedrock Twitch” and even Pebbles & Bamm Bamm harmonize. My favorite has been the music of “The Beau Brummelstones.”
