The dance is actually Picking up sticks

[brunodale]

Nope. Your wrong. The English dancing master written in 1651 by John Playford says Picking of Sticks.

Weird venue, you guys/gals, and still, it's great to see you.

KTLA will be launching "antennatv" a channel dedicated to old programming. I just email them to request for them to rebroadcast programs like "Family Film Festival"

and the Show with Tom Hatten showing Popeye and George of the Jungle cartoons.

If we're lucky they might even rebroadcast "Movies Till Dawn" and "Movies For A Saturday Evening" MAYBE IF ENOUGH OF US EMAIL THIS REQUEST!

I grew up on this, every Sunday. I thank Tom for making TV special for kids like us.

OMG, I watched this man for years and years on KTLA. He is a staple of LA Local TV and I loved the dancing, too! THANK YOU for posting this vintage footage of Tom Hatten!
