I love Laurel and Hardy. I love Billy Gilbert.

I even got my girls interested in this one; its appeal seems to be universal. We sort of went by the famous steps on the TCM bus tour, but I didn't get much of a look. I may need to go back some day and get a bit closer.

That would be good, but a piano is so much better because, as you said, it's a pain in the neck to move but it's also fragile. This absolutely deserves to be called a motion picture classic. Great review and tribute to this talented team. (2,000 signatures in a lunch hour?

I loved reading the background information on this short (a piano IS much funnier than a washing machine) and the examination of why this thing is so hilarious.Fritzi Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866805242123627398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-44244632459708249792015-05-02T17:00:12.437-05:002015-05-02T17:00:12.437-05:00Very nicely done!
