This lovely old bird had a night time TV show when I was four. We heard it
a few times, I'm sure. Not that I can recall, now, what numbers.

Anymore, I imagine his all(?) male chorus singing, "She's Having Our Baby",
or "We're Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover".













Another little record I never
heard of. An' whattaya know, there's ole Mitch.












That same year, if I happened
to get up early on Saturday
mornings to see Supercar, I
might catch Jon Gnagy, here,
giving his art lesson.

He was big on basic shapes.


In 1980 or so, in my only visit with friend Sam K. in Green Bay, I ran across
a lesson book of (G)Nagy's. But, decided not to buy it.

He's a load smudgier than I like to do anything, but he was another in a set of
things that let me know art was possible as an adult. As you can hear in his
clips, he had a great voice (and some might say a face) for radio.

But, not only does he share 'devilish good looks' with Mitch, they look roughly
like each other. And I seldom think of one without thinking of the other.
