Dick Van Dyke

My first movie theater experience happened at age 3 in 1968 while seeing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Do I remember? No, but the film was shown every year on tv and it was my favorite. I've always loved the physical humor of Dick Van Dyke and the movie has a great story, good songs and a creepy child catcher. It also stars Benny Hill.

Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving I'm grateful for this guy who sings to animals.

Man, dig that crazy chick

Let's hear it for those short shorts. Fifteen-year-old Bob Gaudio of The Four Seasons is playing piano and co-wrote Short Shorts. If you want to sing along, here are the lyrics: Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts. They're such short shorts. We like short shorts. Repeat.

Sock it to me!

Let's boogie back to 1968 for a psychedelic dance party and roller coaster ride courtesy of Where Angels Go... Trouble Follows.
