[BC] Local Celebrities

[RON DOT'O SR.]

Actually, Froggy came from a '50's kid show hosted by an old man who would 
start reading a story from a big book while sitting in an easy chair and the 
program would segway into a movie about the story, usually about an East 
Indian boy and his elephant.  I don't remember the host's name but think he 
was "Uncle Don" or something like that.  They had a black cat named Midnight 
who the host would turn to and say "What do you think of that Midnignt?" and 
the cat would meow "Niiiiice".  Froggy was "Froggy the gremlin".  The host 
would say "Pluck your magic twanger Froggy" and you'd hear a Jews Harp and 
Froggy would disappear in a puff of smoke.  The Goul reincarnated Froggy.
