Take Me Home to the Movies
The setting for the show is the living room of an average American home
where Lester and Eunice are just settling down to watch an exciting evening
of television... an extravaganza of old movies. Their fondest dreams are
shattered by a power failure. We hope that what ensues will delight our
audience. We’re also sure you will be thrilled with the exciting
arrangements of some of the world’s favorite songs.
