and Rosemary Poonie, presented by Fowls & Company and General Electric Light bulbs. What's your song, babe? Well, it's a little Andalusian anthem called the Little Spanish Town. You're quite an authority on Little Spanish Town, aren't you?

Yes, I know quite a bit about the big Spanish Sea of Dads too. As a matter of fact, I motored leisurely through Spain not too long ago. I just wanted to sort of get in the proper mood and pick up an attitude to sing numbers of this type.

Well, that's a point for discussion, Rosemary, but I'll have to defer my answer if it seems that I've just got to confer myself now with the moment of truth. You're going to slip into your torridor outfit and sing in a little Spanish town, huh?
