She even reused the melody for "Shloimy", with new lyrics, as "Rollo, the Railroad Train" on her Peter Pan "Be A Train" LP around the same period.bgraumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481033911573623806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-66302127201867650902010-06-30T23:48:50.889-07:002010-06-30T23:48:50.889-07:00RIP, Arnold Stang

Too many times an interviewer behaves like the star. Earl knows the motto "let the man talk." I thought it was very insightful.<br /><br />It's remarkable to think Stang could go from the somewhat dramatic <i>The Goldbergs</i> to the hammy <i>Milton Berle</i> with ease. He showed the versatility the old radio actors had and why the best of them were in so much demand. And he made the transition from child to adult actor. Few in radio did. It speaks to his talent.<br /><br />Best of all, for fans, he's left behind a legacy of laughter. I've spent my day off today enjoying old radio shows and his marvellously squawky Brooklyn delivery. I wish I had that kid's record I referred to in the post.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-70876904215220355812009-12-22T18:02:00.329-08:002009-12-22T18:02:00.329-08:00Indeed he was the original Honey Nut Cheerios Bee ...Indeed he was the original Honey Nut Cheerios Bee on the commercials. <br /><br />Just.....another sad loss.

Besides " Top Cat ", " It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World " has to be one of my all time favorite Arnold Stang performances. The gas station scene with Stang, Marvin Kaplan, and Jonathan Winters is PRICELESS!!Errolnoreply@blogger.com
