1960s Local TV

It's fabulous fun, watching them run
At Southland Greyhound Park
Action galore, more thrills are in store
At Southland Greyhound Park.
Just ten minutes from downtown Memphis
On interstate fifty-five in Weeeeessssst Memphis Arkansas
You'll have more fun when those greyhounds run
At Southland Greyhound Park.

Rudy's farm country sausage is so easy to tell
By the new plastic wrapper with the dinner bell
You slice right through the package
To get to the locked in flavor
You get more patties to the pound
That's why it's a money saver
Rudy's farm country sausage
It's worth every cent
It's inspected and passed by the US Government

Re: Fantastic Features. I remember going to the downtown christmas parade in Memphis and seeing Sivad(in costume of course) in a big black caddy convertible with a gorilla(someone in dress up also) on a chain and Sivad with a giant cartoon like mallet. It was great! As kids we would stay up late and watch Fantastic Features and be sleepy in church the next morning. It was worth it.

I remember entering the weekly TV talent show for children from three to twelve years old, that Trent Wood hosted, back in 1952. It was early that year and I was twelve. But, I didn't get on until Oct. 31st. I turned thirteen the next day. I sung Frankie and Johnny, won a wrist watch but lost in the return round. How time as flown!

My sister and I danced on a local children's show about 1962.I was born in 1959, so the year is almost certain as I was three at the time. I remember it was a children's show and that the host was male. No one else danced that day and it wasn't just talent acts. I have gotten responses from people, but several contradictions. Any ideas from anyone? I would love to find video or even a photo; my sister died several years ago.

A four day event will be held reuniting many family, friends and fans of Sivad with rare artifacts and film.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've chased so many leads-it's hard to believe no one knows for sure and no one has tapes. I appreciate it.
