Susan Landon from Tuscon, Arizona: “When I was a little girl…Garry Moore was my baby sitter” 
The Landons amd Morfits were neighbors, and when Susan’s mother rushed to the hospital to have a baby, Susan’s father pressed Garry into babysitting duties.  He spent the night on the couch and fixed Susan and her brother breakfast the next morning.   


Special Guest Audrey Meadows tests the panel’s memory, first by making them recall details from her initial chat with Garry, then from a detailed interview full of facts about her personal life.   

Tony Spargo and Eddie Edwards from New Orleans: “We made the first Dixieland jazz record (1917)” 
The two were members of the “Original Dixieland Jass Band”.  (The group changed its name to the more familiar “Jazz” later in 1917.)  Their “Livery Stable Blues” was the first jazz record ever issued, and “Tiger Rag” their most famous composition.  The group is largely credited with bringing jazz into the mainstream.  Spargo (drums) and Edwards (trombone) are joined in performance by Phil Napoleon (trumpet), Tony Parenti (clarinet) and J Russel Robinson (piano), three former, but not original members.  They perform “Original Dixieland One Step” and “Tiger Rag”.
