O...WOW WOW WOW what a cool post on so many levels.<br /><br />On a side note, when I was a kid, it seemed that every woman over 40 used to wear some hideous granny shoes and I would say to myself: "I will NEVER wear those shoes!" Luckily, that style soon disappeared but I could never find a photo to show my young nieces and today there they are! Well, a single shoe but you can clearly see it in the enlarged close-up version of your first photo. Sorry for rambling, LOL.<br />Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-18113149363979430892014-03-19T11:16:52.164-07:002014-03-19T11:16:52.164-07:00@MRaymond

She's just misunderstood!<br /><br />We didn't have an autoharp, dulcimer, dolceola, tremeloa, dulcitar, or diddley bow, but we had a zither that Whiskers the Cat loved to sit and pluck one string and one claw at a time. <br /><br />Apparently the feline version of "Wildwood Flower" sounds a lot like the human version of "Die, Squirrels, Die."Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49420956615252152092014-03-19T09:02:20.512-07:002014-03-19T09:02:20.512-07:00Nanook, for some reason my family actually owned a...Nanook, for some reason my family actually owned an autoharp when I was a kid, but its cheerful jangly sound was like nails on a chalkboard to me.<br /><br />Bill, that does sound like fun. I still like to bring my gun to the theater and shoot off a few rounds when I've really enjoyed the performance!<br /><br />Chuck, dolceolas are the poor man's tremeloa! ;-) I maybe be going to Knott's in the next week or so; if I do I will do a quick trip report.<br /><br />Melissa, while I haven't seen one of the old melodramas, I did go to a small theater about a year ago, and the crowd was a big part of the show. They did a funny version of "A Christmas Carol", and there were whole families there who must have gone every year.<br /><br />Melissa again, wow, until this moment I had forgotten the Scud Stud.<br /><br />Alonzo, I absolutely think of Dudley Doright, and maybe even Underdog (since Sweet Polly Purebred was always in trouble)!<br /><br />Melissa #3, I almost expected you to add a mustache to angry Linda!<br /><br />MRaymond, that's a movie that I still haven't seen. I'm afraid it will be terrible.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-71296471013455628482014-03-19T08:10:04.149-07:002014-03-19T08:10:04.149-07:00If not Snidely Whiplash then maybe Prof. Fate.If not Snidely Whiplash then maybe Prof. Fate.MRaymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352355678521753079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-6315595893187585412014-03-19T07:45:04.798-07:002014-03-19T07:45:04.798-07:00Slap a pencil thin curly moosetache on him and we&...<i>Slap a pencil thin curly moosetache on him and we've got us a Snidley Whiplash double.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://i58.tinypic.com/29lxuyp.jpg" rel="nofollow">Instant evil transplant.</a>Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-1143010013114672762014-03-19T06:14:38.855-07:002014-03-19T06:14:38.855-07:00Good call on the villain.

Dudley Doright of the RCMP would be dragging him in to face Inspector Fenwick. <br /><br />Great catch on the program! You have a match on the actress and who can forget Wally. Lots of early celebs (music / acting) got their start in the parks. Steve Martin at both Disney and Knotts for one.

I was in a show there where the bad guy's whole family had big, twirly mustaches - including the dog, and me, his great-grandmother. I carried mine around on a stick like opera glasses and lowered it to speak. It was a hoot. I'll have to ask my friend if he ever made it to the Birdcage. He's the right age and has been out West.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-7346615097924610462014-03-19T04:59:30.434-07:002014-03-19T04:59:30.434-07:00Now, I would've guessed you were into dolceola...Now, I would've guessed you were into dolceolas, but what do I know?<br /><br />Today's post is pretty awesome. We haven't visited Knott's at GDB in a while, and a helping of Knott's is just what I needed this morning.<br /><br />The playbill is a special treat. I'm guessing KBF visitors enjoyed the 1950's Bird Cage production of "Flying Scud" much more than audiences of the 1991 Iraqi production of the same show.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-89619924113874612132014-03-19T04:45:24.990-07:002014-03-19T04:45:24.990-07:00Wow...

I can remember a summer vacation (1967?) that took us from western Kansas to Cripple Creek Colorado to watch the Imperial Players present Flying Scud - my dad said we could boo and hiss whenever the villan came on stage and cheer for the hero!
