It's likely the first and only time it was broadcast on television. :monkey:
Starts at 17:20 when Ernie turns on a radio ... "There's a Little Spark of Love Still Burning"

Ha! Huge Kovacs fan here. My avatar on the classic VW site I belong to is the Nairobi Trio, and my user ID over at the APS forum is "Percy Dovetonsils". Oh, and I live in Springfield, Oregon, next to Eugene. :D

For those interested this is a great CD. Most of the stuff he used in his shows are here.

Solfeggio from the Nairobi Trio.

Leona Andersons two songs make it worth the price of admission. :mrgreen:

The appearance of Henry Burr's voice of the song "There's a Little Spark of Love Still Burning" in an old 1914 Victor record is at about 18:00 into the clip.
The actual recording can be heard here:
