First Spoken Line After Theme Ends
That's enough of that mediocraty. . .
Show Description
Trouble getting music cued right - they even play the theme again on several attemps - Shep tells the engineer to put it under the waste basket. "Look Homeward Angel" by Thomas Wolfe (W.O.Gant) All men are created equal but not the same. George Washington has never seen Johnny Carson! Jefferson and the founding fathers - a humorous look at the writing of the Constitution.
[ Courtesy: David Goldin - ] The engineer wows in the first record, hits the theme instead of the second record and then cannot get the third record to start! The difference between men and women. What did Mrs. Ahab think of the Captain? The Continental Congress lacked a "colonial laundry," a kazoo accompaniment to, "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Thomas Jefferson at the New York World's Fair: what would he have thought?
