At one point they had the audience singing old TV songs, one being the "Green Acres" theme song. Then the lead singer announced that sadly Eddie ARNOLD (CW singer, still alive as far as I know) had died that week. We attended a concert Saturday night of a 50s-60s doo-wop nostalgia group.

Eddie Albert's show, <i>Green Acres</i>, was one of my favorites. Recently Ginny wrote a treatise about Perry Mason, and what his television character revealed about the post-war America male.
