[78-L] Old" Flying Sauce"r fan heard from, WAS Copyright Criminals on PBS

[David Lennick]

All the original Saucers were on 78, as were the parodies by Steve Allen with 
Alan Freed, Lee Tully, Dave Barry (which used real musicians, not records), and 
one odd one that actually stole lines and disc samples directly from the 
original Flying Saucer. Ya hadda be there. I thought the later ones like Mr. 
Jaws were pathetic.
