The show was back in New York after several weeks in California. The special guest was Meredith Willson, composer, lyricist, and librettist of "The Music Man," who had with him a group of people whose last names, when sung in the proper order, made up the lyrics of the song "In the Good Old Summertime." The big hit of the segment was a Mr. Somerstein, whose off-key singing of his last name consistently got a big laugh.moreless

    One of the most memorable segments in the long history of this classic panel show occurs in the final third of the broadcast. Guest Meredith Wilson has the unique honor of conducting a chorus of people to the tune of In The Good Old Summertime. The crack staff of this series went above and beyond to provide an exceptionally well done segment with 24 people picked out of the New York phone book. Their last names placed in a sequence provide the lyrics to the classic song. Inda - Good - Old - Somerstein were some of the names of the participants. Stewart Somerstain was the surprise hit of the segment as his off key and loud delivery was a wow with the audience. The next week's episode had him return with singer Dorothy Loudon singing a tribute to him. A classic in every sense of the word.moreless
