RANDOM PIC OF THE WEEK<\/h3>\n

On the subject of Robert Conrad, I was pleased to have met him TWICE! Once back in 1987 when I was new in L.A. I was working at the Westwood One Radio network in Culver City, and I heard he was coming in to be a guest on “The Larry King” radio show, when Larry was on all night. I was there waiting when Mr. Conrad arrived. I told him that I used to play “Wild Wild West” with my pal Bob Japs in his basement. I was Arte, because I loved all the disguises, and Bob played Jim West. I got two autographs…one for me, and one for Bob. He signed the one to Bob…”To Bob. From the REAL Jim West — Robert Conrad.” He was quite funny and entertaining. I had met him years later at an autograph show, but by then his health had deteriorated quite badly. But he and his macho swagger is sorely missed in today’s marshmallow world!<\/p>\n

After hearing about the passing of Robert Conrad this past weekend, I couldn’t get the “Wild Wild West”<\/span> theme song out of my head. It’s one of the greatest theme songs ever written!After hearing about the passing of Robert Conrad this past weekend, I couldn’t get the “Wild Wild West” theme song out of my head.
