they give me a cute attack. and bring back memories of movie watching under blankets with my mom before tv cost $$$ and the excellent classics were broadcast *all*the*time..... i was in love with their style. i still want a suit of clothes.
and of course, i could never forget Bud Abbott and Lou Costello - they are a duo after all. my dad made my brother and i practice the "who's on first?" routine for a solid week. the tape we practiced with was made by strategically placing a philips cassette recorder next to the speaker of our floor model tv. dad wanted us to perfom the routine for the talent show that celebrated the end of catholic schools week! i thought it was fun because naturally i wanted to be a comedic performer (i'm great with deadpan and improv - just sayin'). bill(y) called it quits in tearful frustration, finally telling my dad he wanted to sing "zip-a-dee-doo-dah" instead. and he did.
