Yes...KNX had a nice obituary for May late Friday night, mentioning the
Freberg show AND the "American history" album they did together.

Would be REALLY spooky if someone can find a connection between Billy May,
Ann Miller, and Bob Keeshin.  (Besides, of course, that "Captain Kangaroo"
joined the CBS TV lineup not long before Freberg's 15 weeks of fame on CBS
radio).
