Tennessee Ernie Ford Show

Show # 6 (1x6)

Air date: Nov 15, 1956

Ernie's Guest: Bandleader Spike Jones and his City Slickers. Script Notes: Spike Jones very possibly led the way for punk in popular music. As bizarre, outlandish, and unpredictable as he was talented, a Spike Jones show or appearance never failed to stir things up. Characterizing himself -perhaps best- Jones called he and his band, "...the dandruff in longhair music". Ah...culture. Highlights: look for a Classic "golf-cart drive-on by Billy Barty -- he steals the show! Musical Numbers: Way Down Yonder In New Orleans: Ernie and The Voices / Lay Down Your Arms: Ernie and Spike / Canadian Sunset: The Voices / Just A Closer Walk With Thee: Ernie. Cast: Ernie Ford, Spike Jones, The Voices Of Walter Schumann
