Back then you could turn on TV and get stuff like this too, along with the New York Philharmonic also.
Makes you want to cry hearing the unmitigated drivel called music since.
My idols: Steve Allen, Victor Borge, John Lewis, Count Basie, and of course the Duke of Ellington. Musically influenced comedians besides Danny Kaye -- Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Ernie Kovacs.
And my other never-miss in the 50s and early 60s -- Fulton Sheen.
While serving in a previous ministerial call, I had to moonlight at the local Hollywood Video to pay for health insurance for the family. It took one of my coworkers a couple weeks before she stopped addressing me as "Father" and started using my first name.
It was a fun job. My co-workers were the best. I got free rentals too. You can click here to see a picture. Now you know the rest of the story...
