Keep Oppo Dr. Hook

Come back to me now to the late 1970s, an era of some of the greatest TV hosted by B list stars.

Say what you will about YouTube, it is a great time capsule.

@ttyymmnn I grew up listening to them, my older brothers just loved them.

I have to wonder how many times they had to film it to get the coaster to roll through right at the break. And people actually clapping in time to the music? Yeah, right.

You have to love the production of these old shows. Studio sounds, laugh tracks, etc.

I have a less-than-six-degrees of separation connection to Lisa Hartman. She married Clint Black. I knew his brother, Kevin Black, when I lived in Houston. In fact, I'm probably one of the few people with a copy of his CD, Dream On.

@ttyymmnn I was at Great America in Santa Clara when it first opened! Spent the mid 70's through to the mid 80's in Foster City on the peninsula just south of SFO and went to the park regularly.

Saw Weird Al play there in about 1980. Great show!
