@AfsAnehAfairytale Thank you Rita. This one seems to be special. It's very hard to find information on it. It's available for sale but detailed information is difficult to find. You have a nice day too :) -Michael

Originally telecast on October 31, 1954. The original opening music was the one that sounds like a "violin exercise warmup" ["Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-d­a-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dahh­hhhhhhhhh! DON WILSON: "THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM'! Presented by Lucky Strike!" {"Be Happy, Go Lucky" theme heard into first commercial, then the current jingle:"If you want better taste from your cigarette/Lucky Strike is the brand to get/It's toasted to give you the best taste yet/It's the toasted...cigarette!!"}.

@fromthesidelines That's good to know. It's too bad I couldn't use some of the other music. Thanks Barry!

When Jack died, one of the wishes on his will was that his wife Mary was to receive a red rose every day for the rest of her life.

LOVE Rochester! Great character.

@skylur44 So do I! I believe he was an accomplished performer off of Jack's program as well. Like Jack, he had a great sense of timing. -Michael
