Good morning! Reviewing this thread, I just now realized that part of the "Abbott and Costello" confusion stemmed from the fact that I was answering questions...
I re-watched the number yesterday and I noted the section you are referring to me. It doesn't bother me as much as it does you, though, as I see it as a...
That's very funny. What brought that on? I presume you are contrasting how Ava Gardener pronounces her name with that of Ava Astaire. Did Frank Sinatra ever...
Now, why would anyone want to do that? Especially anyone as civilized as an Astaire fan!? As for me, I can't be certain we're talking about the same moent,...

I have to say, Preston, I watched this number again just now and I could not find anything wrong with the audio either. Fred joins in at times and you can`t...
Thanks, but you make me fear I'm losing my ability to communicate in writing. I'm not saying there's any kind of technical glitch, and yes, most of the time...
