Widmarc & Wendell at the Plastic Cactus Studio

i have this little friend named "wendell" you've probably heard of edgar burgen's pal "charlie" mccarthy, my pal is "wendell". we met awhile back and got to know each pretty good. have you ever been accused of talking to yourself ? if so then you might understand what it's like having a conversation with "wendell".in the long run. "wendell" makes a lot more sense than i do, however that's what this whole thing is about, making sense. at least i hope so.
           i took a course in ventriloquism at the maher school of ventriloquism in littleton, colorado. it is an experience not to be soon forgotten. you get to know yourself pretty good in the time you spend in the class room and you get to know a lot about speaking for someone who in all practically is not there, but yet they do exist because they are your own creation. it seems confusing doesn't it? the fun part about ventriloquism you are talking to yourself but this little pal of yours sitting next to you lets you know that they don't always agree with the fact that they can't speak for themselves. some time things come out of your little "pals" mouth that you didn't plan on.
           wendell was built in placerville, ca. by tim cowles who owns the dummy works. when i got "wendell" he looked even better than he did as tim was creating him. tim cowles builds the best "vent dolls" in the united states. all his creations are just beautiful. tim will build you what you want from a picture or you can describe to him what you have in mind and tim can build it. to see tim's beautiful creations type in (search) "the dummy works" and you'll see the most beautiful "vent dolls" ever created.
           "wendell" keeps me busy, seems as though folks can't get enough of these crazy little pals who take on a life of their own. the older people "senior citizens" they laugh at "wendell" making fun of me, he pulls no punches and i'm always on the wrong end of it the joke. if you folks ever watched "shot gun red" on nashville now you know how the ventriloquist always ends up with egg on his face. "ralph" always the best of jimmy dean when dean would ask "ralph" a question on the jimmy dean tv show. jimmy moved from making records to television to selling sausage, i think these days jimmy dean sausage is owned by the sara lee corp.
           the widmarc & wendell show comes out of "the mystical plastic cactus studio", in plankwalk, texas. texas is big, wide, and long and difficult to track us down, if we get into trouble as we very often do. we can hide out in lone star state for months at a time try it some time down around dry well and gun pass junction no one can find you. the lone ranger on his best day with his buddy tonto couldn't track you down not once you get on that ole path they call dangerous road that leads to the plastic cactus studio. 911 dangerous road, plankwalk,texas.thats our hideout. however the plastic cactus studio is a place you'll want to spend some time especially if you like music from the 50's it's all here.
           recordings of the '50s remixed and produced to a beautiful "rock a billy " sound like you have never heard before. the plastic cactus has a catalog of artist from the '50s that is as rare as any in the "world" we have real "gems" stuff that you can't find anywhere but the plastic cactus, that includes "blues", rock, rock a billy, and country. we take you back to the '50s to the ole 3 track recording system of 1954. where you get the feel of being there in the studio when elvis, carl, johnny and jerry lee and many other artist recorded for sun records in their early and most creative years. not just sun, we take you to dot, checker, chess, excello, vee jay, atlantic, mercury,jan and a hundred other labels where you will relive those thrilling days of yesteryear when rock a billy was young.
           you'll feel the excitement as though you were in the studio when the recordings were being made. the slap of the standup bass, the twang of the rock a billy guitar,and the beat of the drums driving the songs into a "hit". the plastic cactus studio is a 3rd dimensional reality that gives a vividness to the factual significance of the sequence of the sounds of the '50s rock a billy illustrating it's happening as if you were in the studio the day the songs were recorded.
           you'll be able to reach back into a point in time to the number of elements in a finite basis where you'll find rock a billy as real at this moment as it was the minute the songs were recorded. it's a experience you'll never forget and enjoy for a life time.
           what is the mystical plastic cactus studio? it's where the past come's alive. get on board and lets take a ride into the long lost '50s, down memory lane back to the cobwebs of time to those oldie moldy sounds that you know and remember so well. as you enter the plastic cactus studio you are in a time zone where time stands still you are there now as it happens you are at that special place in "space time" that few mortals ever experience. as your mind begins to drift back slowly you can feel the '50s coming into focus you are arriving there  with excitement as you have never felt before of being at the perfect place where musical history is about to be made.
           young artist are putting together sounds and beats that they don't understand, but they know it's the right sound and they have made a discovery that will change the world.
           like so many others before them ben franklin, sir issac newton, robert fulton, thomas edison and alexander g. bell they will make history with their new sound. they don't know what to call it. can they produce the exact same sound again? they must and they do,because the world is ready and waiting for it, it is the sound that will change the way young teens think forever. soon there where will be duck tail hair, baggy pants, tee shirts, cigarette's hanging from the lips of teenage young men saying things like "man that's cool" i dig it daddy o, and "man that was way out" . rock a billy will be brought out of it's infancy, and matured to a musical science that will bare the words "turn it up man", turn it up loud". it will be the greatest musical discovery, since cave man beat a stick against a dried animal skin stretched between two trees and realized he had himself a "beat", something he could dance to, something he could get out there in front of the "cave women" and shake his booty to. this is " the magic of the plastic cactus studio". wendell says come on over baby, a whole lotta shakin' goin on", that's pure "rock a billy".
