This one goes out to Ted Watson, who asked me to play it at IGC 2016. I didn't know the song then, but I was determined to learn it. So here it is. It is such a great song especially for those who grew up in the 50's when television was in it's infancy.

"Boston Blackie" was a book about a detective, then a movie and finally a TV show (1951). I didn't watch that show because I don't know if we even had a TV then. Ricky Ricardo/"I Love Lucy" doesn't need any explanation. Andy Devine had a kid's show with "Froggy The Gremlin" ("plunk your magic twanger froggy"...BOING..."hiya hiya hiya kids....hahahaha") and "Midnight The Cat" (niiiiiice). Sky and his neice Penny were part of the show "Sky King". Penny was every little boy's heart throb. Ramar (African for "White Medicine Man") was an adventure story set in the jungles of Africa. The rest of the references are very well known.

I used my green screen for the effects. The quality of the video is not that good because I don't have the very expensive lighting equipment needed to make it more professional. Anyway, I had a ball doing this project and I hope you enjoy it.

Hey there Bill,

How fun was that! I really enjoyed the playing, singing and the green screen technology. This song has been on my "to do" list for several years, I've just never gotten around to learning it. Thanks for the reminder!

Bill,

My O My. You hit that one out of the ball park. I like seeing you put out the music you do. I like the steady relaxed tempo you have. I don't remember requesting that on at IGC2016.....but I had a few beers...so maybe I did. Your a great inspiration. Thanks a ton buddy.
