Not gonna lie, I put one on once a year... different channel down here though... in memory of my grandfather. Shouldn't you be watching reruns of the Red Green show? Get off my Welk!

If you’re referencing PBS showing ‘The Red Green Show’ in US markets, I remember WNED in Buffalo having the chutzpah to show the PBS pledge drive for it, and having no intention of running the show.

Lurker Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) My parents had this album and played "A Taste of Honey" all the time. IDK about the video, but I always enjoyed the song. It's a real American success story that Alpert and his partner Jerry Moss started making albums in their garage in 1962 and grew to become the largest independent record label in history, eventually selling to PolyGram in 1989 for the equivalent of $1 billion in today's dollars...
