Location: Texas | "Plunk Your Magic Twanger, Froggy"
Years ago, before easy access to the internet to verify the useless trivia floating around my head, some friends insisted that line was from some Disney movie or something. I told them that it was from an old television show with Andy Devine. They would not believe me, they thought I was crazy… I was right, but so were they ;-)
They almost had me convinced that "Andy's Gang" existed only in my dreams…
According to Wikipedia, it was even older than that:
"Froggy the Gremlin was a character on the Smilin' Ed's Gang radio and TV show and later Andy's Gang"
So Smilin' Ed originally said the line "Pluck that magic Twanger, Froggy." Even I don't remember Smilin' Ed…
…2ifbyC, If you pulled that out of your memory, that makes two of us on the planet that actually remember it…
I'm so glad I've finally found a support group ;-) |

I'm so glad I've finally found a support group ;-) When I saw the post title, I immediately thought of the TV show. Before I clicked the thread I thought someone found an Ovation related to the show.
OK, we now know there's at least two of us older farts... :D |
