[78-L] Yiddish Home on the Range

[Andrea Walsh]

"Andrea, Yes, I love Katz too, have some Spike Jones records with him and
love Mel Blanc too. Is it true Mel's tombstone  says  Th-th-th-that's all
folks?"

I dated a guy in the 80's whose uncle was Mel Blanc and yes, I think his
tombstone says "That's All, Folks" -- at least I remember him telling me it
did.  I think I have a photo somewhere but maybe I'm wrong...
