   Hello, Vagabonds. Still copying my VHS s to DVD, no end in sight. Lorna Doone has a copy guard – oh well, it wasn’t my favorite, but I’m making a list of those movies that can’t be copied to DVD.

   OK, here’s the answer to the Our Gang quiz.
   a. John “Uh-huh” Collum
   b. Gus “Cap” Leonard
   c. “Mush and Milk”
   

   
   Here’s an easier one:
   What famous Our Gang star grew up to be a famous actor and also a major director for the MASH TV show?

   @DKRAM: Yes, Lorna Doone is the name of the cookie the Red Cross feeds their blood donors after they donate, as well as the name of a movie as well as a Celtic hero..

   Good morning, Vagabonds.
   

   
   David, I have my suspicions, but I don’t think the actor I have in mind ever did directing. He used to star with a white cockatoo?
   

   
   I have a trivia question of my own. I woke up with an ear worm of a song from my childhood this morning, and I wondered if anyone else recognizes it.
   

   
   The only time I draw my gun
   Believe me it is not in fun.
   I shoot it fer defendin’ me.
   I shoot fer life and liberty.
   (Chorus)
   Bang goes old Betsy.
   My only gun is Betsy.
   I can travel far and wide
   With Betsy by my side.
   

   
   I suspect I am humming this song because I had a dream about waving around a 9 mil pistol in defense of my home. No, I didn’t shoot anyone, even in my dreams.

   Arye, I apologize about not being able to send the photo. I guess it’s time to have the data on that crashed drive retrieved.

   @dkram

   Yes, indeed, he played a super newspaper editor. You got it. I’ll reveal the name later if no-one else does.

    No, it wasn’t Robert Blake. Good guess though.

    Funny thing about that song is that it is first person Davy Crockett speaking (singing?), but the only one I can remember actually singing it (and dancing) was Buddy Ebsen. That was in the Disneyland grand opening special with a bunch of dancers dressed up in gingham dresses. Looking things up, the actual recording was done by Jimmie Dodd (of the original Mickey Mouse Club) and the Sons of the Pioneers (Roy Rogers old group).

    GOOD AFTERNOON YA’LL

    Quiet on the Coast here- started my next James Patterson
    book yesterday- NYPD RED- took two mos for the library to
    get it as it recently came off the NY Times best seller. As
    usual- another page turner.

    Dammit. Thought I submited earlier? Possibly not.

    Woke up yesterday with a sore throat, that lessened as the day wore on.
    Today I woke up with a voice that is barely audible, and sounds like an over-loaded truck climbing a hill.
    >
    Just stopped to check my vitals: BP@12e/65 Pulse 82 temperature 96.0 (not unuasual for me).
    Coughing and nose blowing, clear & colorless.
    Don’t understand how I can get this way, yet show little or no symptoms? Other than what I feel. anyway?

    @Florchi

    Yes, indeed. Jackie Cooper, star of Hennesey and The People’s Choice. He also played Perry White in the Superman Movie. Did you know that he was the youngest nominee of all times for an Oscar for best actor in a starring role when he was nominated in 1931 for his work in Skippy at age 9.
    Congratulations, Florchi and Dkram!
