Very cool! I wonder who the dude is next to the colonel?
And I love the outfits!
Mmmmmmm! KFC and mandos! They're finger-pickin' good!
Cool.
Anyone got any records of the Ronald McDonald banjo ensemble?
How do they get the sides of them ties to stick straight out like that? Gotta get me one of those.

Think Scott used to have that pix as a download for wallpaper. If I remember right, the Colonel liked their music so much he bought them all Kays.
I thought it was Bob's Big Boys + Banjos

Ah....KFC Mandodebbie memories! When I was a little girl, I attended Vacation Bible School in Moose Creek, Ont. (Gee, I sort of had to... my Dad was the Presbyterian minister there in the 1970's.) Anyhow, there was a children's hymn we had to sing called " God Loves a Cheerful Giver..Give Him All You Got!" and wouldn't be just like me to change the words to "God loves a chicken dinner, give Him all you got! He loves to smell the chicken when it's roasting in the pot. And when the chicken's done you'll all hear everybody sing: 'At the Kentucky Fried Chicken in your neighbourbood, Col. Saunders" boys and girls make it finger licken good!'" And, of course, all the other kids began
to sing this new version, driving the teacher completely batty.
You are only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Did you hear the one about Col. Sanders, shortly before his death had an audience with the Pope?
Seems he asked the Holy Father to change the words from "Take this bread, eat it..." to "Take this chicken, eat it..." For this biblical edit he would dontate to the churce $200,000.00. Upon hearing this John Paul said young man, that would be heresy! I cannot change the words of the bible for money! Get out of my sight!
Undaunted Harlan obtained another audience a month later with the same request for the sum of $2,000,000.00. The Pope told him that it simply could not be done and to not come to him again with this request. He then wished him a safe journey home.
Well, you guessed it, Col. Sanders gained a third audience with Pope. This time he offered $200,000,000.00 to be willed to the church upon his demise if the words "bread" in the bible are changed to "chicken" The Pope's reply was that it simply could not be done and that he should pray about it and surely he would see the error of his request. Gave him his blessing him and thanked him for coming.
The next day the Holy Father had a meeting with his head Cardinals. He announced, "Gentlemen, I have good news and bad news. The good news: we will soon be receiving a large sum of money! The bad news: we will be losing the Wonder Bread account!"
My apologies to his eminence.

Re: KFC
OK. Now we have two Col. Sanders records (to my knowledge on the Café). One of Mandolin's Playing Hymns and one a remix of Herb Albert tunes from this thread. How deep did the Col. get in the music industry?
Amazing Memorial day find (along with a Memorial Day picnic standard!)
