Happy Birthday Jo Stafford

In three days Petula Clark turns 75 (Shhhhh! I don’t think we’re supposed to talk about Pet’s age), but today the singer Jo Stafford turned 90! Jo was a favorite of Charles M. Schulz, and a song by her is featured at this link. In December 1955, when TV was overtaking radio and Rock and Roll was taking over radio (please note the distinction), Jo had a song in the top 10 called ‘It’s Almost Tomorrow’.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Jo joined the television revolution, and later appeared on the Steve Allen Show. How many other faces do you recognize in this video?

Bill Mumy Musings

Angela CartwrightHey, it’s been a whole week since we saw Bill Mumy in Springfield, MA. Yesterday he did an online one-hour audio interview that you can hear by clicking here. I agree 100% with Bill’s politics.

Once again I highly recommend listening to the Mumy Jukebox. I’m enjoying his new CD, The Landlord or the Guest, a lot. Mumy’s Lost In Space co-star Angela Cartwright, for whom I had a major crush, designed the art for the CD.
