Keeley Smith did a wonderful job in Robert Mitchum's 1958 film Thunder Road. She also sang a beautiful song (written by Mitchum) "Whippoorwill". Mitchum also wrote the Title song and made the charts with it ! It was nice to see her smile. She adopted that dead-pan look to counter the antics of her husband Louis Prima.

Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Earl Hines, Jimmie Noone, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Hank Jones, Donald Byrd, Art Blakey, Gene Krupa, Roy Eldridge, Henry Red Allen, Buster Bailey, Wild Bill Davison, Vic Dickenson, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, etc And on the sequel, the pianist is Frank Signorelli, a man who wrote songs like _Stairway to the Stars, I'll Never Be the Same_ or _Sioux City Sue._ Pretty impressive company, wouldn't you say.

The Jones Sausage Co was begun in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin (Bennett knew this) in 1889. It has operated as a private, family owned company ever since. The current president named Jones is the great-great-grandson of the founder. But not all the Jones CEO's have been men. A hundred years ago the president was a female family member, really rare in those days. I remember their product "Jones Pure Pork Sausages" being advertised on TV when I was a kid but I have not heard anything about them in decades.

Since I'm watching these in order, I'm wondering if I'll see any of the Mercury 7 themselves. I know we had a couple of X-15 pilots not long ago, and technically they are (or will be) astronauts according to NASA's definition of eligibility for the astronaut badge.

And it should be noted that, 10 years later (in March of 1972), almost two years after his heart fibrillation stopped, Deke Slayton's flight status was fully restored. Three years after that, in July of 1975, he was one of three U.S. astronauts to take part in the joint US/USSR Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in outer space. (After being grounded by NASA, and subsequently by the Air Force as well, he served as Coordinator of Astronaut Activities (later Chief of the Astronaut Office) for a year and a half - and then, after resigning from the Air Force in November 1963, in a number of civilian posts for NASA for the next 11 years, including 8 years as Director of Flight Crew Operations.)

Indeed, as Director of Flight Crew Operations, Slayton would be the one to ground Ken Mattingly for the measles virus and send Jack Swigert in his place on Apollo 13. Swigert would be the one to throw the switch which created the biggest drama in the history of space flight.

They could have still had a Steve Allen and a Tony Randall on the panel and Daly as miderator, but the geniuses behind the scenes decided to dumb it down.

Il *Belìce* è un fiume siciliano che ebbe ai greci il nome di un Dio, *Ὕψας **_pronuncia (Húpsās)*, dagli arabi, durante la dominazione saracena, il nome di *al-Qārib _(il vicino)_* e dagli *Arbëreshë di Sicilia* il nome di *Honi* perché nasce nella *Piana degli albanesi* e dagli *italiani* una pronuncia sbagliata di cui il Dio del fiume se ne amareggiò. Durante il terremoto della valle del Belìce del 1968 _(370 morti di cui 10 soccorritori, 1.000 feriti e 90.000 sfollati)_ i giornalisti della RAI commisero un arbitrio: *_spostarono la cadenza dalla seconda sillaba alla prima per cui il Belìce divenne il Bèlice._* *E questo fosse niente.* In questa valle vi è *Salaparuta, il luogo più importante nella storia del Jazz. Se Salaparuta non fosse esistita, mai esistita, se i *salitani* non avessero mai fatto parte del genere umano non avremmo avuto *Nick La Rocca* nato a New Orleans (figlio di Girolamo di di Salaparuta e Vita De Nina) che nel 1918 sostituì la parola jass in jazz nel nome della sua formazione, che divenne così il primo a farsi riconoscere con il nome jazz: *Original Dixieland Jazz Band*. La Rocca, da molti, è considerato un pioniere del jazz classico, uno dei primi interpreti in assoluto. La sua arte influenzò tutto quello che venne dopo. *E questo fosse niente.* Non avremmo avuto *Louis Prima*, nato a New Orleans, ma nipote di Luigi Di Prima emigrato da Salaparuta nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento. Louis Prima era molto orgoglioso delle sue origini, e ad ogni esibizione non mancava di far sapere al pubblico che era italo-americano e di New Orleans. Nel suo modo di cantare e di suonare erano evidenti molte influenze dell’Italia Meridionale: la teatralità dei gesti della sceneggiata o dell’opera dei pupi, l’arte scenica e le feste popolari del sud. Iniziava i concerti sempre con: *_“My name is Louis Prima, I'm from New Orleans e song’Italiano”_* Dal pubblico rispondeva sempre uno - non si sa se era lo stesso di sempre a New Yor, a Los Angeles, a Miami - *_“Uè, paisà”_* Lui scoppiava a ridere e iniziava con *Keely Smith* o con *Sam Butera* al sax un duetto, una macchietta. *E a volte per una pronuncia sbagliata noi roviniamo tutto: Belìce, Belìce non Bèlice.*

Boy, they sure don't make women like this anymore. And I'm not even from their time.

They still make them the same way. They just turn out differently--same as latest model guys.

I used to watch this when I was a kid. It’s comical to see how cheesy the set was. The curtains look like they have hand stains on them. It was a different time. A better time.

Well, I believe the set was taken apart at the end of every episode and reassembled before the next episode, so it isn't surprising that some legible handprints might have ended up on it.
