And now live from Level 5 productions on the Island of Miloronia, it's the Larry Miller Show. And the Good evening Mr. and Mrs. and Mrs. America and everyone who loves a brand new car. Hi folks and welcome back to the Larry Miller show. I'm Larry Miller, but in a way aren't we all?

And you know something, it's a gorgeous day,

but not on Miller Ronia today.

It's gorgeous, back on the mainland,

and I am in Southern California at my well my stately manner and there's a reason for that and I'll tell you soon but boy first of all it is a gorgeous day here and that

music and that band always get me going and I know the same for you Colonel Jeff and they make us both smile and

bounce our heads everything does come to think of it but you know what this is

the only place it looks normal but it's terrific that's of course the Lloyd Woodall

orchestra and the Christine Nygaard dancers featuring boy tenor Rick

Buckaloo asking the musical question,

If the autumn leaves caress the trees tenderly,

how come I'm sweeping the driveway every other day?

Good question Rick, heck of a question.

But you know what? I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but I think maybe your autumn leaves don't caress the trees

tenderly that might be the reason I have a feeling your autumn leaves get blown

into the street by the gardener and bagged by the

neighbor's kids and there's nothing wrong with that for the neighbor's kids or

the gardener but yeah I I don't think your autumn leaves.

The beautiful song, that tenderly by the way,

the autumn leaves caress the trees, tenderly.

That was, I think if they had heard that as an audition to do the song, they would have cut it off before the word tenderly and just said,

yeah, no, I don't think this guy is the one we need
