[ellanoize]

I don't want to cheat & google, but I think it was Manfred the Wonder dog, but I'm not 100% sure.

[Father Dave]

thanks for coming out and playing roger- it was indeed the Mighty Maaaaaaanfred (as he said it)

ok we're rollin like a herd of turtles...

continuing on the Captain Kangaroo theme...

Captain did something every show to turn the music off for the start up of the show- do you remember what he did that stopped the music?

[arkon]

I don't know the answer to that one, but I do know that Captain kangaroo got his first "break" as Clarabell The Clown on Howdy Doody [img]wink.gif[/img]

oh and the answer to the stopping the music question: Capt. would hang up his large key holder on a hook on the table...that would stop the music- all during the music he would shake all his keys.

and now you know the ressssssssst of the story.

[arkon]

Ya got me stumped, Dave. Even the hint didn't help, but i have a feeling when you lay the answer on me, i'm gonna feel dumb!
Somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind I remember Clarabell (with Howdy & Buffalo Bob, of course) doing a Happy Days episode, but i can't remember the storyline.
