We had a local celebrity who had a TV show on Saturday mornings when I was young. He used to set up an easel and draw pics of Snow White and her dwarfs (or other cartoon characters) in a matter of minutes as he explained the next cartoon or skit that was coming up. Our 2nd grade class went to the studio and was on the show once. His name was Gene London. He did a skit about Quigley Mansion and the Golden Fleece. He'd sing a song when it was time to "go to" the mansion. Went like this...
Let's pretend that it's storytime and I'll tell a tale to you.
I'll tell a story of make believe and all your dreams will come true.
And when the story's over, and when we reach the end...
We'll live happily ever after...where?
In the land of Let's Pretend!
Found out years later that he was gay...but I was "in love" with Gene London for most of my early years!
BTW Shar? I love the Kimba theme!
