Originally Posted By J_E_Smith **Which reminds me, JE, I don't think I ever responded back to your emails about the Country Bear shows. ** Actually you responded to the first one, but not the second. You did read it though, because in the other CBJ thread you mentioned some stuff I told you(The differences between the WDW and DL AAs) I noticed you mentioned you wanted to see the Sun Bonnets' Christmas slides in full. Well, since the video LP posted here cuts off partway through the song, here's a link to one that does: <a href="http://www.jtcent.com/disneyland/special/spex05/spex05b.html" target="_blank">http://www.jtcent.com/disneyla nd/special/spex05/spex05b.html</a> Yes, its of the Tokyo verison, but you can see the slides very clearly in it.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Well, I'll respond to the email now, JE, lol. 1.) I really don't care for the WDW version of Tennessee. His wide-eyed demeanor makes him look dorky. 2.) A friend sent me his videos of WDW, so now I have all *3* Country Bear shows, as well as the Tokyo Summer show. I felt that the Tokyo Vacation show seemed to drag because there was too much talking; for those of you who have never seen it, Henry introduces EACH act (except Big Al) and has dialogue with everyone. Eh... here's the show: -Henry & 5BR: "The Great Outdoors" -Wendell: "On the Road Again" -Trixie: "Achy Breaky Heart"; After the curtains close, you hear Trixie taking a huge bite out of her sandwich. -Terrence (called Shaker): "Hawaiian Love Song"; Terrence sings a duet with his octopus girlfriend, who is now an actual AA -Sun Bonnets, Gomer, Max, Melvin and Buff: "California Bears" (shortened version), in English -Liverlips and the Sun Bonnets: "We're Gonna Make it to the Top", in English -Teddi Barra: "Singin' in the Rain", in English -Henry, Ernest & 5BR: "Mountain Music"; Ernest now wears a pink sweater and hat, and has candles and a fan with him. -Big Al: "Working on the Railroad" -Finale: "Camptown Races"/ "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain"/ "V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N" And JE, I had never heard of V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N until you told me about it. I guess it was one of Connie Francis' big hits.

I would ALWAYS make a point of going to Bear Country when it was at DL for whichever show was currently playing. Even more so at Christmas & over the summer. Trixie taught me to sing, truly.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Sadly, no. America Sings ran at DL from 1974-88, and as every single Disney fan in the world knows, the cast members are scattered about DL's Splash Mountain. What I was saying was that I found some America Sings sites last year and kinda-sorta became obsessed with it. Someone also downloaded a grainy RealPlayer movie of it for me as well. Try <a href="http://visions.fantastic.com" target="_blank">http://visions.fantastic.com</a> They still might have the good quality America Sings video, but I think you have to join the site first. And Now For Something Completely Different: Both Big Al and Mickey make cameos in Monty Python's Flying Circus! If you have the DVDs, they're in Episode 36 (on Disc 12) and are featured in the Terry Gilliam cartoon.
