I’ve always loved that clip…thanks for posting it!
Season’s Greetings!
Banjo player Harper Goff also makes a cameo in Jack Webb’s “Pete Kelly’s Blues.” He was loaned to Warners by Disney to work on that film as a production designer.
Harper, should be more well known if I say so myself. He was equally instrumental if not more so than any imagineer (even Marc Davis) in Disneyland being what it was and still holds over the other parks to this day.
Coming from New Orleans…nothing could delight me more than a Dixieland Christmas!! Plus Bergen, Hans, & Wal!!!t….now how much better can it get!??
Thank YOOO!

I wish the Firemen Five Plus Two merry Christmas.
Let us not forget the lovely Hans Conried as the “Magic Mirror” (and Fractured Flickers host).
This is one of the warmest bits of TV nostalgia on the planet.
Looking at the clip and at Harper Goff, it struck me: doesn’t he look like some of the animatronic figures in the Disney parks (Pirates of the Carribean, Bear Country Jamboree and the Haunted Mansion)? Many animators can draw cartoony, but this guy looks cartoony!
Merry Xmas everybody!
How fun was that! The glory days of animation…..
Sometimes when I turn on the radio, I think it’d be awesome to live in a time when the hottest band in America is a Dixieland jazz band made up of animators.
