Patty Duke - sousaphone

[bloke]

I have been educated - by David Richoux - to the fact that Don Butterfield supplied the tuba audio.



I wonder if this is going to trigger all of the "music educators" who decided to be triggered - rather than chuckle - at the youth-orchestra/automobile commercial.

[Three Valves]

One of my favorite theme song lyrics;

"Patty's only seen the sites a girl can see from Brooklyn heights"

That "Andrews Sisters-esque" trio was TOPS.
They actually inserted jazz-trumpet-type "articulations" into their phrasing - EVEN THOUGH they were singing lyrics.

This sitcom (exception) was actually filmed in New York City.

[The Big Ben]

What was the name of the actor who played the father? He looks familiar but I can't place him. He might have done a lot of commercial voice overs, too.

The "identical cousins"(both played by Patty Duke) was kind of a stretch but "everyone gotta have a schtick".

I recently saw him play a shady-character locksmith on a Perry Mason episode.
He wasn't convincing...too "not-particularly-shady".
