Sorry, but you had me at Shari Lewis. She really was a remarkable ventriloquist, yes. And she gave Lamb Chop all the best lines. Anyone who can be a straight man for a puppet is worthy of applause.
Donny Hathaway could have sung jingles and I would have paid for the record. Just saying.
Re: Tall Zoom: We attended a UCC church where one of the members of the choir was also a little person. She sat down for the children’s message next to the pastor. She was about 4 feet tall; he was over 6 feet. She showed the kids that they were about the same height when seated. Then they stood up and the kids could really see the difference. She said, the size of our brains is the same, too. So don’t underestimate the power of a very, very small person.
I loved that. And her name is Jane Lytle. So there you go! Thanks. Love you, ROG! Amy
