I have tried for years to obtain a copy of this episode, as no one had the
capability to record the show back then
.....we just watched it on TV, along with everyone else. I discovered your CTVA
website only today, and finally felt
that there might be some hope for me in my search.
We were featured on another episode of the
Jim Nabors Hour #24 16-Mar-1970 , guesting with
Daryl Lamonica & Roman Gabriel. I am attaching
some photos of episode #17
(myself & Sidro with Rock Hudson, in "The Minstrel Show") as well as
episode #24 16-Mar-1970 (I'm the one with all the legs).
Please at least respond with some information or whatever advice you can give me
in this matter.
Thanks So Much, Beverlee Brown, Chama, New Mexico, USA <bevybh@aol.com> (Oct
