Someone once on a radio show about Spike Jones remembered that in his stage show for a while he would have a girl come out and sit on one side of the stage and knit all through the craziness. People would wonder what she was doing there and what she was ever going to do, and all she did was knit. I think I saw her once in a Spike video knitting, but haven't seen her on Tube yet.

Your answer is really light.What wouldn't we read if someone had written "Fucking black people"!But hush, I'm already subversive and politically incorrect.

very good -none of you mentioned his being the uncle of sigourney weaver...she was still in the deep end of the gene pool then.

Doodles Weaver also had a series of "shorts" on early TV called "A Day with Doodles"

The man on Mary's right at 1:36 (who also delivers the seal's bark) is Winstead "Doodles" Weaver, who became famous in Spike's band for his interprtations of the "William Tell Overture" and "Dance Of the Hours", and appearing on his Coca-Cola radio show as "Professor Feetlebaum". At 1:53 is A. Purves Pullen, who was a professional bird impressionist and was known in Spike's outfit as "Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath".

I thought that was Deforest Kelly in the beginning, and once I read the comments here it confirmed that. Useless trivia: he was friends with George Reeves (Superman). Back to topic, Spike was fantastic as were the members of his troupe. |
