Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy OH, okay...thanks, Dave. The closest thing I could think of was Count *Bessie*, the piano-playing chicken on an episode of "The Golden Girls" (Rose watched for her for someone); I wondered if that might be a connection, lol.
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy Thanks too Dug, but I saw Dave's link first. ;-P And yes chicken, I do live in Kentucky...but I think I live on a fantasy-named street, not a funny one...I really like it.

It appears Count Basie never made it into the script for Mama's Family or The Golden Girls. And the latter show suprises me!

I meant I live on a street that *I* think has a fantasy-ish name. lol <It appears Count Basie never made it into the script for Mama's Family or The Golden Girls.
