... thanks for posting that clip. It was great to see Donald O'Connor, too.

A highlight of my life has been playing with Donald O'Connor when he was touring in a 2-man show with the great Mickey Rooney. Mr O'Connor was a super nice guy, as was Mr Rooney. At the end of the show they went to each orchestra member and thanked each one of us personally. Incredible.

Really cool to see this clip.

You may be interested in Shari Lewis' wiki entry, which I linked in Reply #3. She was amazing ... really worth the read.
