Hey All,
Over here we used to have Saturday morning picture shows designed for kids.
Main picture with maybe a little sports programme and a funny usually something like the Three Stooges and a cartoon.
We always started with a visit from the owner of the local zoo who would bring along assorted animals.
Then it was the cinema organist playing a huge Wurlitzer, we all sang along and the screen showed the words with the bouncing ball.
We knew every popular song from about 1900 and when I was old enough I couldn't wait to get into the bars, which all had a piano player you could get up and sing with.
As George intimated nothing new under the sun.
Regards from across the pond.
Garry
