Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Crystie,
I enjoyed your western play. I especially admired Lucky Gus, a hard-working miner who enjoyed solitude and gold nuggets.
I was given a metal detector a few years ago, and I had some fun with it for a while. But I haven't used it in months. I need to give it another go. You never know what you might find. So far, just .22 caliber bullet shells, fishing lures, and railway spikes. I want find some old coins! Or old jewelry.
I liked Gus's tale of sleeping on a rock that contained some silver!
"(Hands bottle back to WILLY.)" ... who is Willy? I don't recall his name in your intro. Did I miss that?
Nicely penned!
Hugs,
Kimbob

Oops. Willy was in the last script. I must have been thinking of him for a second. I will go fix that. Thank you for the awesome six star review! I have never tried metal detecting.

Thank you for the good, clean humor about the prospector who likes to get in deep plus the backdrop of real history! I'm always glad to see how hospitable John is and how tolerant he is of his sidekick with the smelly socks!

Thank you for your super review. I decided to go with stinky sock humor because the skunk humor had been used up in another script, ha ha.
Comment from judiverse
This is a lot of fun. I like the addition of the miner. He seems quite adept at his work. You do a great job of explaining how the setting could be handled, as well as the mule. Good sounds effects given! I love the humor in this, especially all the puns. I can see there is room for a lot of visual humor, too. Poor Short and his socks. The idea of him buying three is funny. Very skllfully done. judi

This is a very well written script. I enjoyed very much listening to it. I admire people who can write scripts nicely like you do yours. Script writing would be something that would not be in my comfort zone at all, but I enjoy others who write lovely scripts may you have a blessed day. Patricia

I have a serious aversion to Western-themed stories because of my husband's addiction to John Wayne movies and yet I enjoyed this fun, humorous read with those likable characters. Very good job.

Wonderful, feel-good humour, a delight to read. I love the characters which you portray so skilfully in their dialogue and the punning is superb. I always come away with a smile on my face too. So your script ticks all the boxes for me. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

Comment from Begin Again
In dialogue, I believe a character's true nature is revealed more through their words than through the actions the writer assigns them. A story moves smoother and faster through dialogue and you have shown us each of your characters very well. The reference of the way old movies were made - clean and straightforward - not smutty is a nice change. Well done.
Smiles, Carol

What drove you to write a piece like this? A dream? An incantation? Corny is what made Kellogg a lode or cache of coins. Did you ever do vaudeville?

Thanks for your time and review. I actually tried comedy improv for about a month about 18 years ago but decided that I liked writing comedy better. I really like Classic Hollywood movies, Danny Kaye and Abbott and Costello movies and all the comedic TV shows from the 1960s best. The cleaner, the better!
Comment from bonespur
This is a really cute western script. I loved the characters names and how they reference popular actors and other well know characters in popular movies, and/or shows. You did a good job good luck and have a blessed day
