Strangely I have noticed no one has mentioned that fabulous show “The Black and White Minstrels “ I enjoyed it

Now of course would never be allowed and like so many other good shows now considered either sexist, racial or non conformist.
Just like Love thy Neighbor.

#21..I believe that Lucy only had one leg John. That’s was years before I heard about Cappys Mary. She had however a proper artificial one not a wooden peg leg as Cappy supplied for Mary. Lucille Ball as her name applies was said to have one as well ask Cappy he knows. JWS.

####yes jws and who was it who told mary he would get her a leg like lucille ball and he had it all wrapped up and next morning he scarpered early and when she oppened the parcel it was a manky bit of old broomshank with runcimans stamped on it.....your sins will find you out
