hi everyone,
i have received several emails from people here about my latest endeavor. thank you all for letting me know that you care. singing for the band is fun and i have been able to travel with them all over the world, with many more places to come soon. check www.deadkennedys.com
for tour info.
also, if you are a collector, or know one, i am selling a car i own. if interested, look at this:

things are looking good for the new series also. i have talked to the producers, and the development is moving along well. it will be on the WB network, and simply be called the courtship of eddies father.
the movie version with nic cage is going somewhat slower, but i am hoping it will still happen.
and so, my kids get bigger and smarter every day, and i'm still having fun.
take care,
brandon cruz

Hi Brandon:
I can't even believe that im writing this to you if you ever get it, but when i was a little boy back in the 60s i use to watch your show everyday, I always wanted a little brother just like you but it never came true lol..

I know how you feel about singing for your band its very exciting to get up there on stage and pour your heart and soul into a song that your singing, i remember my first time on stage with an audience,i thought i was going to get sick all over the stage in front of God and everybody. but i got over it pretty fast,when everybody started dancing and having a good time, i LIVE to please my audience, I played bass for two bands "Frankie James and the Southern Trouble Band" (Country mostly but a slight mix) and "The D.G.C. Blues Band" D.G.C. stands for "Done Gone Crazy" :-) God i loved playing the blues so laid back and mellow i would just play,backup sing, and dance with my bass.I no longer play bass for anyone anymore i retired from the music bussiness still wanting more but what can i say.

If you accually get this and read it feel free to email me or comment id love to hear from you it would really make my day.. Good luck with all you do in your life im sure you will be successfull in all you do. I stay now and forever a devoted fan. TomThumb PS what ever happened to Bill Bixby i heard that he died is that true?

Sadly, we lost Bill Bixby to cancer in 1993. He was only 59.

I remember watching The Courtship Of Eddie's Father in primetime and in reruns it was my favorite tv show. It is one show that should not be remade, they couldn't do it justice imo.

Hi Brandon: Hope you get another chance to respond to our forum. I live in the city that you grew up in, Oxnard. I remember when I was young, people would talk abt you here in our town and I thought they were crazy. No way would "Eddie" live here!!!! But of course, I know different now.
I have a son and seeing him and his father play together and doing father and son things makes me think of the show. Thanx for the memories and take care! Irene
