Through this experience I got to know Charo's Musical Director - the late Frank DeVol. Frank and I drove to the rehearsals together, and he told me some funny Hollywood stories.
We met earlier at a wonderful block party in Toluca Lake. Such a block party! The band was Les Brown. At our table was Frank, Billy May, Joe Reisman, and one of the King Sisters.
The Charo Show rehearsals were like old home week.
As the announcer I got to do the Audience Warm-up in the NBC Burbank Studios.
When I was an NBC Page back in the Fifties at 30 Rock I watched some of the best announcers in the business do those Warm-ups, and I borrowed more than a few of their old jokes.

I announced a syndicated Nicholson and Muir Game Show with host Art James.
Art and I were kidding around as they were trying to take this shot. We never did get it right.
A few years later in L.A. we found ourselves auditioning for the same projects.
Art passed away in March, 2004.
