The framed, autographed, Dale Brown card shown above has been won in today's drawing by John Byrd. John tells me also began his career as a ventriloquist at age ten inspired by Paul Winchell, and his first figure was a Jerry Mahoney (see photo right). Like many who once owned a Jerry, he wishes he still had it!
Don't we all. I started with a Jerry Mahoney as well, and used him for many years, changed his looks, made him a new body and installed a head stick and lever, and somewhere along the way lost him. I still have photo's of him, but have no idea where he went.
ReplyDeleteForget ventriloquism. The photo itself brings back so many memories of growing up in the 1950s. The washed-out color of a Kodak Brownie. Dad keeping his tie on after a long day at work. Mom not in the make-believe June Cleaver dress and apron but in a blouse and skirt. The typical family portrait of Mom & Dad on the couch and Junior sitting on the floor. Been there. Done that. Miss it. (The only thing that's missing is a photo of Junior sitting on the spotted pony that toured through the neighborhood.)
