Dear Brain:

It's each bassoon having its big fat say. Bassoon. Not baboon. Thank you.

Regards,

Just wondering how tunes from The Music Man sneaked into your head out of the blue. (Not that they aren't fine tunes, mind you. Just wondering.)

One of the TV news lists I get mentioned Coronet Blue with Frank Converse. Which led to a hundred and ten cornets etc. etc.

Oooh, what about Coronet Blue??

Or was it just a mention in passing?

May 29: in 1967, if you thought you were having a bad
day, at least be glad you're not amnesiac Michael Alden.
He was just pulled out of New York Harbor mumbling the
words "Coronet Blue," the title of this summer series
and the only clue to who he really is and why he was
dumped off a barge to sleep, presumably, with the
fishes. Frank Converse stars as the young fugitive
trying to sort things out and flee his mysterious
attackers with the help of a coffee shop owner and his
friendly neighborhood monk. Also aiding or attempting to
foil his search are guest stars Alan Alda, Hal Holbrook,
disc jockeys Murray the K and Dick Clark and -- in her
first dramatic role on American TV -- 19-year-old
Candice Bergen. A smash summer success, the show
(originally filmed for broadcast in 1965) can't go on;
Converse has already signed for a fall series, "NYPD."
Though the mystery was never officially solved, it's
possible that the "blue coronet," or blue crown, may
have been a symbol on the boat from which Alden was
pushed.

Keen. I know I stayed up to watch it all that summer (summer replacment series...remember those? Oh, shoot, what Brit thing did they air one summer in place of UNCLE?) but all I can really remember is the credits bit where Frank was climbing up the pier out of the water. And Brian Bedford was the monk.

Perhaps baboons were playing the bassoons?

If the two got into a fight, tho, I'd bet on the baboons to win.

I kinda liked the baboon mental imagery.....

Poor baboons never get to express themselves. *weeps for the baboons*

Save the Bassoons!
