Wonderful! I had no idea they did more than one salute to Irving Berlin. I have seen the 1978 episode, but never this one!! thank you very much!

Shane Spangler you’re most welcome. I know they’ve done quite a few over the years. I remember seeing another one on PBS around the early 2000s that was broadcast in 1975. Cissy King hosted the wraparound for that I believe .

@@canadianlawrencewelkfan9816 Do you know anyone who has the 1975 version of Irving Berlin?

[@larkpraise]

Loved it! Loved the interview with Cissy at the end! She was my favorite of Bobby’s dancing partners, I guess because she was on television with him the longest.

justess martin glad you enjoyed that episode. Shame that PBS hasn’t shown that one in years.

In the movie Star Trek: Nemesis there was a wedding scene and DATA, the android sang the song "Blue skies " this program is very enjoyable.
