[Willie Green]

Willie,...o.k.,...how about 'Mushmouth' and 'The Kielbasa Kid'...?....(Cleveland T.V.)

No, we didn't get Cleveland stations in the 'Burgh.
But I do remember Josie Carey and The Children's Corner (PBS Saturday Mornings, 1955 - 1956)
We had the privilege of enjoying Mr. Rogers LONG before the rest of the nation!
(I was born in '52, so I was in the prime target audience for this one!)

(BTW, If you notice the titles of the opening and closing themes of this children's show, you'll get a real culture shock as to how PBS has changed.)

I have a record (33 1/3 rpm) of Josie Carey's Children's Corner. Who can forget such lovely tunes (sung by Fred Rogers) as "Meow meow meow meow beautiful, meow meow telephone," or "I give a hoot for you, 'cause golly, golly, you're neat"?

Remember "Lunch with Soupy Sales"? White Fang, Black Tooth and shaving-cream pies? Even though I watched Soupy every day, I missed that show where he told all the "birdbaths" to send him all the "folded green paper with pictures with pictures of long-haired old men" that they could find in Daddy's pockets or Mommy's handbag.

Josie Carey sounds very familiar but i was born in 1956, so i doubt i heard her on the radio. do you remember the Paul Shannon show? i used to watch that while waiting for Santa, he used to track him. Remember NOSMO KING? LOL!
