What I remember around that time was a Sunday morning kids show (It was on
right after WHDH's "Children's Playhouse.") which featured a succession of
"uncles."  The first was Uncle Norm, who may perhaps have been Norm Tulin.
He tended to have a number of characters with rhyming names show up in
between the records.  Names like "Polly the Dolly," "Duane the Drain,"
etc.  The second uncle may have been the inspiration for "Duane the
Drain," because he was Uncle Duane.

Mine too.  Who did they have in 1957?  The ones I remember from around
then were Bob Wilson, Paul Knight, and Bill Clark.
