Jill’ I’m a 68 year old retired businessman. I find myself with what I like to refer to as physical limitations. Basically needed to start a new life to provide for myself. Your post are inspiring and we need more Jill’s to encourage our generation. We are a generation of hard workers that have pushed very hard and not settle for a mere existence my to achieve success. I feel like all this depression and sadness live in the things we avoid. If we stopped trying for happiness and focused on fulfillment we would be living life to our full potential. And oh my goodness. Achieving the things we’ve been avoiding will solve most of what we’re missing. Not to bore you with my thought but rather to thank you for your positivity. when I look open my youtube app and you are at the beginning of my feed I instantly prepare myself for the positive message you are sending into the universe and need to comment with my heart gratitude. I hope your husband came to live with you in New York, I could never have left you get away…. Please encouraging all of us.. and write a book.. you’d be an amazing life coach..I wish you the very best. You truly are a treasure. Thank you Jill ❤
Michael, thank you for your heartfelt comment. I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. I loved what you said about happiness and pain. We all have pain and trauma buried deep inside, and if we can sit quietly with it, feel it, honor it, and release it, we would be so much healthier. I was doing that but somehow got sidetracked and restarted again. Thank you for being here and for your wisdom.
Jil, I really appreciate your pragmatic approach to acting as it pertains to daily living. I worked in the special event business my entire life. Acting is a gift just like any other. I’ve met some ordinary folks that are such incredible people I consider them celebrities. In the event business you crops path with all sorts of celebrities. Some of them so incredibly down to earth and the other should truly be out of this world. I’ve been able to connect with a few because I’ve never been star struck. Been asked “do you know who I am” my reply is “how we met before” the persona is not the person. At the end of the day we are all the same. Your perspective is refreshing. Life’s successes can be found in the smallest of accomplishments. If I were an actor I’d prefer being in supportive roles but never a celebrity. Even with its challenges I prefer the real world. I’m intrigued by some script and song writers and their abilities to delve within their lives and share their vulnerabilities. I had the honor of connecting to one particular that shared the back stories behind some of her personal hits. This privilege is so precious to me, I would only share them with my closest friend. My heart goes out to the celebrities that aren’t know and appreciated as persons not just personas. Aren’t we all really actors, life truly is a stage… please keep sharing, people underestimate the beauty of experience. You are a wonderful gal.
"Grate! Yur hyurd" > Your "Brooklyn" is 'grate'! 🤣 HA. That's a hilarious turn @9:00, "It's the friggin FBI!" Great story, I'll have to hear more. New sub. Thanks Jill!
This one is hilarious, now. I'm sure back then it didn't feel that way for you. Thank you for sharing. 👍 Kudos to you for sticking it out. re: Your sound-no problem here.
Hi fellow space traveler enjoyed the story. Excellently written and executed. Really enjoyed the accents and the feel. You have a Great ear. Sound was great. Can’t wait for Henry’s arrival. Henry deserves some praise for letting you follow your dreams. Henry sounds like a wonderful combination of Alan Alda Phil Donahue and a little Matthew Mcconaugh
One of your videos popped up on my RUclips feed and I clicked on it. Now I am hooked. I hope you're happy - another addiction for me. I so much enjoy the stories, the humor, and the behind the scenes insights. Thanks for sharing! (It's not really an addiction, more like a mild dependency.)
Jill, I absolutely love your stories. What a gift you're sharing with an adoring audience. ❤😊 Mrs. Bella Lugosi. That's epic!!! 😅 Paul, a person we all hope to avoid!!
Another great story Jill! OK now I have to find out what happened when Henry showed up. ( I'm assuming he did.) You said the next installment was going to be next Sunday which was yesterday. But it's Labor Day weekend so hopefully we will get to see it this week!
Jill, you are no fun. Can't someone just enjoy being a petty criminal without you bringing the feds in?!!!!🤨😂. The sound quality is all groovy on my end. Oh no, Henry is on his way and he's not sounding too happy. The suspense! I know you're a busy gal, but it would be so sweet if you could find a little time mid week to do another show. We all look forward to seeing you. Brightens up the day!
Your sound is fine and you have good, clear diction. Loved hearing the word 'vestibule'. Such an old, British style word. We need to bring that one back! My Parents, Grandparents used it & the only person I knew who had one was a Jewish Dentist & my old RC Parish Priest.
LOL. NYC is full of vestibules. I think it's a way to get out of the elements and find your keys, close your umbrella, etc. I'm glad. you liked the word. I do too.
My brother also moved to New York in summer 1978 to become an actor. He lived at 7th and Avenue D, the center of a major drug-dealing gang's territory and 4 blocks from where Jack Henry Abbott stabbed his last victim outside a cafe. We used to visit him there starting when I was nine!
I am not an actor but I love listening to your videos. You are the best story teller I have ever heard. I hope there will be a part 2 to this video. I want to know what happens with Henry!
sound not garbled on this end. so what happened when henry arrived?? is that part deux?? would love to hear. this is a short play in and of itself. you should write it as such. just fantastick!!
It's funny you should mention that. Two NY literary agents who read one of my published stories asked me to write a book. I did, and they rejected it. LOL. I may self-publish it at some point.
Hey Jill. Love your channel. Im a musician and deal with and fix audio all the time. I haven't heard any issues with your audio. Im not sure what you're using for a mic, but it's just fine. I do a youtube live and use a very inexpensive focusrite scarlet USB interface and a really good mic ( Blue baby bottle) because im fussy. But i think so far so good. keep up the great work, it's fascinating.
Another terrific story, Jill. By the way, I’d never guess you once had a Southern accent. Did you take any type of elocution classes to lose it? Or is it just an extension of your innate acting talent and/or having to use different accents for different roles? And oh yeah, your audio is as clear as a bell.
I think it's a combo of all those things. Plus, as an Army brat we lived all over the place including three years in Germany. And as a brat moving so much you have to figure out how to fit in. I never too elocution lessons.
This one is riveting, Jill! I love it! I still can't find Part Two with Bill Hurt. Is there any way you can send it to me in a link through fb messenger?
I told you in my last post that I saw John and Yoko on Columbus too. That my dad served in Patton’s 3rd too. Then I said if you lived on W 74th like I did, this is getting weird. Now you tell us you lived on W 74th. Good lord Jill. I lived about 10 brownstones from CPW on the south side. Please make it stop. Please.
First: sound not garbled. Second: love your posts! I suspect that we all have lived interesting lives, but some just know how to tell a good story. You are the latter. Thanks for sharing.
My FBI story. As a young man, I moved to Tucson, and took a room in a house with a Vietnam war vet. Unfortunately, a group of his army buds--all heroin addicts--moved in about a month later. They just lay around shooting up and watching TV. I had had about enough--mainly because they were such slobs---and decided that I would threaten to call the police (which I had no intention of actually doing). One day the doorbell rang, and since I was the only ambulatory person downstairs, I went to answer it. In the blistering heat there were these two FBI agents on the doorstep, dressed in woolen suits, with hats that looked like they belonged in a Bogart movie. They asked for ME!!! They said my father had sent a letter and it had come back with "return to sender" on it. I said, "Well, I'm still here." In my head, I could see the whole thing. My father was in the Justice Department in D.C. and because the FBI was in the same building, he knew a lot of agents, and even skied with the FBI ski team. Anyway, that night I called my father up, and chewed him out: "We were all smoking pot, and you sent the FBI to my door." I really didn't want to tell him I was living with a bunch of heroin addicts. He called the next day and said the house was under surveillance for heroin sales, and added that I shouldn't tell anyone. Well, or course I did tell them--immediately. These people, who had previously exhibited the metabolism of sedated snakes, were now vacuuming furiously under the sofa cushions and getting ready to leave. By evening, there was no one living in that house, and I never saw any of those people again.
Big Time Hollywood Movie Producer Here: If these wonderful vignettes into your life is leading up to Henry ending up at the bottom of the east river I will be shocked and of course immediately buy the rights to your story. Elevator pitch: Female version of "King of Comedy" meets "Fargo". (Emma Stone stars, you'll get a cameo and a producer credit).
Even if you wouldn’t have made it as an actress you still have had an exciting life with plenty of interesting stories. I guess this is the way that you have to look at it if you want to make it as an actor..
It doesn’t end well with Henry Well maybe it does. She’s happier now with her cat magpie who has amazing electric powers and helps her with sage wisdom advice and directs her videos

I hope I don't, either. Glad the sound is good.
You are a hoot and a holler! Love watching - keep them coming!!!
Thanks, Sally. I will.
Great story Jill 🌞 The sound is good. Most of the time I watch/listen on a mobile device w/Bluetooth and haven't had issues w/ your channel.
Thank you. Glad sound is working.

Great. Thank you.
Wow, Jill…another great one. You make me laugh and your style is endearing and calming. Fantastic work and thanks again!❤

I know. I was so naive that I didn't even realize the feds coming in was possible.
Hi Jill. Your audio is fine. I really enjoy your content and am so happy I found you (or you found me).
Great. Yes, the algorithm gods found us.
Sound is great. As are your stories.
Thanks so much.

Amazing New York stories...
Thank you so much for watching.

You are absolutely magnificent, love your work and I am so happy you started this channel to share all this with us. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching.
The sound is perfect.... and so is your sense of storytelling 💭
Thank you so much.
Your sound is fine and you have good, clear diction. Loved hearing the word 'vestibule'. Such an old, British style word. We need to bring that one back! My Parents, Grandparents used it & the only person I knew who had one was a Jewish Dentist & my old RC Parish Priest.

Audio is good on this video. I've just discovered your channel, so I haven't seen all of your videos, but so far, no audio issues.
Great. Thanks for being here.
Magpie the cat serves as creative consultant and associate producer. That cat like most behind the scenes talent doesn’t get enough credit
LOL. So true.
Thanks to you, Magpie got a promotion and is now credited as Executive Producer. She thanks you.
My sound isn't garbled.
I liked this so much, gonna watch it agin (sic, I know)!!
😊
And oh! I love the graphics!! ⚡️
Oh, thank you. Good to know about the sound and graphics.
That story was great!
Thanks so much for watching.
Great cliffhanger!
Thanks!
It´s a jungle out there🐯 What a story! Thanks for sharing. So much fun to listen to you😄I wonder where Henry is now...
Henry moved to Germany in 2000. Thanks for watching.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 Ah, interesting. Here in Germany he is called Heinrich then😉
You sound perfectly fine to me here in VA.
Thank you… I liked your story.👍😊
Thanks for listening. Glad you liked it and sound is good.
You sound awesome. I love your videos. You’re a great storyteller.
Thank you so much for being here.
You had an Angel on your shoulder protecting you.
I feel I've been protected by a benevolent presence my entire life. Thank you for watching.
Haha “I’m on my way..” what a cliffhanger 🤪 Sounds like trouble is brewing
Indeed.
I’m on my way 😬😬😬😬😱😱😱😱 quick find my invisible suit!!! I can’t wait to hear this one! No you don’t sound garbled to me.
Glad the sound is good. Thank you.
😁Ingots & Animals , oh my😍
LOL. Ingots, Animals, and the FBI, oh my!
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 😂screaming❣️
You sound great, young lady. Buck
Thank you, Buck.
Jill, how wild is that?! Lived in that wild jungle a few lifetimes ago, you feel like a kindred soul.
I hope I am.
Wow, that’s crazy lol. I came here for acting advice but your stories and storytelling are so darn entertaining. Your sound is fine to me.
Thanks for watching. I hope my stories help in some way.
You edit and narrate so expertly. Delightfully.
Thank you. I am completely self taught. Glad it's working.
My brother also moved to New York in summer 1978 to become an actor. He lived at 7th and Avenue D, the center of a major drug-dealing gang's territory and 4 blocks from where Jack Henry Abbott stabbed his last victim outside a cafe. We used to visit him there starting when I was nine!
Yes, that was a dangerous place and remained so for many years. Glad he survived it.
Hi Jill, New subscriber here. Enjoy your stories and your accents. Thanks for the smiles.
Thanks for subscribing. I'm so glad you're here.
You're a great story teller. I'm looking forward to the next one! p.s. Not garbled
Thank you so much. Glad the sound is good too.
No audio issues here. You sound great and keep them coming.
Thank you so much. I will.
I am not an actor but I love listening to your videos. You are the best story teller I have ever heard. I hope there will be a part 2 to this video. I want to know what happens with Henry!
Thank you so much. Henry is coming soon.
There is a part 2. It's coming in a couple of weeks. Thanks!
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 Yay!!!
sound not garbled on this end. so what happened when henry arrived?? is that part deux?? would love to hear. this is a short play in and of itself. you should write it as such. just fantastick!!
Thank you. Not sure how much of Henry I'm going to include but I'm sure he'll eventually make an appearance.
Have you considered compiling your great stories into a book? Your stories are really compelling.
The sound is crystal clear on all of your videos.
It's funny you should mention that. Two NY literary agents who read one of my published stories asked me to write a book. I did, and they rejected it. LOL. I may self-publish it at some point.
You're fun and your voice sounds great and clear ;-)
Great. Thank you.
Cliffhanger . . . til next Sunday!
See you then. Thanks for watching.
Hey Jill. Love your channel. Im a musician and deal with and fix audio all the time. I haven't heard any issues with your audio. Im not sure what you're using for a mic, but it's just fine. I do a youtube live and use a very inexpensive focusrite scarlet USB interface and a really good mic ( Blue baby bottle) because im fussy. But i think so far so good. keep up the great work, it's fascinating.
Thanks so much foe the feedback and info.
The sound is fine. Did you ever usher at a theater, at Town Hall?
No. Never did that.
In a few hours Jill has as many views as a week of off broadway runs. There you go the power of the technology.
I know. It's amazing.
The sound is fine. So are you. 😊
Thank you.
Another terrific story, Jill. By the way, I’d never guess you once had a Southern accent. Did you take any type of elocution classes to lose it? Or is it just an extension of your innate acting talent and/or having to use different accents for different roles? And oh yeah, your audio is as clear as a bell.
I think it's a combo of all those things. Plus, as an Army brat we lived all over the place including three years in Germany. And as a brat moving so much you have to figure out how to fit in. I never too elocution lessons.
This one is riveting, Jill! I love it!
I still can't find Part Two with Bill Hurt. Is there any way you can send it to me in a link through fb messenger?
I see you found it.
Audio is fine for me.
Good. Thank you.
Jill the sound was perfect On earlier episodes the intro was too loud and your voice too soft and where's my silver beaver!
LOL. Yes, I fixed (hopefully) the sound levels. Someone else mentioned that. So I think it's good now.
I told you in my last post that I saw John and Yoko on Columbus too. That my dad served in Patton’s 3rd too. Then I said if you lived on W 74th like I did, this is getting weird. Now you tell us you lived on W 74th. Good lord Jill. I lived about 10 brownstones from CPW on the south side. Please make it stop. Please.
LOL. NY is a small town.
First: sound not garbled. Second: love your posts! I suspect that we all have lived interesting lives, but some just know how to tell a good story. You are the latter. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching. I so appreciate it.
What happened when he arrived?!
LOL. Well . . .
My FBI story. As a young man, I moved to Tucson, and took a room in a house with a Vietnam war vet. Unfortunately, a group of his army buds--all heroin addicts--moved in about a month later. They just lay around shooting up and watching TV. I had had about enough--mainly because they were such slobs---and decided that I would threaten to call the police (which I had no intention of actually doing). One day the doorbell rang, and since I was the only ambulatory person downstairs, I went to answer it. In the blistering heat there were these two FBI agents on the doorstep, dressed in woolen suits, with hats that looked like they belonged in a Bogart movie. They asked for ME!!! They said my father had sent a letter and it had come back with "return to sender" on it. I said, "Well, I'm still here." In my head, I could see the whole thing. My father was in the Justice Department in D.C. and because the FBI was in the same building, he knew a lot of agents, and even skied with the FBI ski team. Anyway, that night I called my father up, and chewed him out: "We were all smoking pot, and you sent the FBI to my door." I really didn't want to tell him I was living with a bunch of heroin addicts. He called the next day and said the house was under surveillance for heroin sales, and added that I shouldn't tell anyone. Well, or course I did tell them--immediately. These people, who had previously exhibited the metabolism of sedated snakes, were now vacuuming furiously under the sofa cushions and getting ready to leave. By evening, there was no one living in that house, and I never saw any of those people again.
Well, that's one way to get rid of the junkies, get your apartment back and cleaned too. Thanks, Dad.
Your sound is good!
Thanks.
sounds ok
Thank you.
Big Time Hollywood Movie Producer Here: If these wonderful vignettes into your life is leading up to Henry ending up at the bottom of the east river I will be shocked and of course immediately buy the rights to your story. Elevator pitch: Female version of "King of Comedy" meets "Fargo". (Emma Stone stars, you'll get a cameo and a producer credit).
LOL. Henry can end up anywhere you want him too.
Emma Stone would be epic.
Even if you wouldn’t have made it as an actress you still have had an exciting life with plenty of interesting stories. I guess this is the way
that you have to look at it if you want to
make it as an actor..
Living in NYC is tough and way too expensive but somehow 8 million people manage to live here. You really need to go with the flow.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you.
What happened with Henry got there??
Stay tuned. I have a video coming out in a couple of weeks about his arrival.
The sound doesn't seem garbled to me.
Good. Thanks.
Oh, No! I like the Native American Defense Angle. Thats funny. But, please tell us more! By the way I’m Native American.
I'm glad you like that.
Not garbled. Previously your intro was too loud compared with the rest of your video, but it sees like you corrected that issue.
Yes, I changed the music volume. A viewer told me about it. Thanks.
Haha. Police Woman. So '79.
Made me laugh too.
Hey wait, what happened with Henry?? Did he go to NYC to bring you back? BTW, you sound fine and, might I say, delightful:)
It doesn’t end well with Henry Well maybe it does. She’s happier now with her cat magpie who has amazing electric powers and helps her with sage wisdom advice and directs her videos
I haven't decided how or when to share Henry yet. He lives in Germany now. Glad sound is good.
LOL> I am. happier with my magical kitty girl, Magpie. She's very bossy but gets stuff done.
