This is great. Rush played it in it’s entirety on his show yesterday. I had never heard it before.
Then you probably haven't seen it either...
I, too. I had forgotten how welll done it was. After the intro, Skelton abandoned his usual comic voice and read it perfectly, without excessive sentimentality.
Yes, it was great to hear again - too bad kid’s minds today have been indocrinated by the libs before 3rd grade to understand it.
Yes, was delighted he played it as his closer. Anybody who hasn't heard Skelton needs to find the audio.
I got it in an e-mail recently, but I have had it on DVD for quite some time.

Always loved Red Skelton.
