June 16, 2016
Joe had the pleasure of visiting Dick Van Dyke at the 2016 San Diego Aging summit held at the Town and Country Convention Center on June 15th. Dick was the keynote speaker and was also signing copies of his book “Keep Moving: And Other Tips and Truths About Aging.” In “Keep Moving,” Dick Van Dyke offers his own playful anecdotes and advice, as well as insights from his brother, actor Jerry Van Dyke; his friend and creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show, Carl Reiner; and other spirited friends and family. Whether he’s describing the pleasure he takes in his habitual visits to the grocery store; how he met his late-in-life-love Arlene; or how he sprung back, livelier than ever, from a near-death experience, Dick’s optimistic outlook is an invigorating tonic for anyone who needs a reminder that life should be lived with enthusiasm despite what the calendar says.

Richard and Joe welcome Bill Marx, son of the beloved comedian Harpo Marx. Show business has truly been his life. His father, born Adolph Marx, got his stage name “Harpo” because he played the harp. In 1910, Harpo join his two brothers Julius (“Groucho”) and Milton (“Gummo”) to form the “The Three Nightingales” which later became “The Marx Brothers.” Harpo was famous for his sight-gags and props. By the age of 12, Bill traveling with his dad on the road and was Harpo’s personal prop man, packing his trunk for every performance.Bill studied composition at the Julliard School and is an accomplished pianist, but thinks of himself as a composer first. He began arranging and conducting for his Dad’s recordings and personal performances, and he wrote scores for numerous movies and televisions shows including The Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Bill, his Mother (Susan Fleming Marx) and his Father, Harpo, have the distinction of being the only Father-Mother-Son combination honored on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars. In fact, they have 5 stars among them.
In his book, Son of Harpo Speaks, Bill tells the story of his life in show business and his journey down an amazing highway of discovery and love (with more than 160 photos).
Now a resident of Palm Springs, Bill actively supports many charities. He serves on the boards of Act For MS, Angel View, and he performs at the Stroke Recovery Center. He is also in the process of creating the Harpo Marx Scholarship Foundation.
