As long as we’re on the topic of extreme weather conditions, here’s hoping our club members (and everyone else) in the south-central U.S. are finding ways to keep cool under the persistent “heat dome”. Temperatures in Dallas today were expected to reach 115 F (46 C) !

For Hey Bulldog, for the last hour of June 25th, V = 20904 and C = 48.4. More daily data in a few days.
A new video every week for the next two months? Time to up my caffeine dosage!

(Sorry, Jacki, you posted your reply while I was composing this one!)
Many of us in the U.S., myself included, were introduced to Suzi through her guest appearances on the Happy Days sitcom, where she played a reform school girl who had gone straight and formed a rock-and-roll group. Here’s a compilation of some of her performances on that show: a few 1950’s covers, and a couple of her original songs that I really enjoyed even as a kid. (Warning: exit the video at the 9:20 mark. Trust me!)

What a memorable ad campaign that was! As a kid, I assumed that when I got older I’d understand why someone might be walking down the street eating peanut butter straight out of the jar. Still waiting to be enlightened on that one.
Have you seen the one with Donny Most and Robby Benson?

I love that back story, JP!
As I’ve mentioned before, I saw John Sebastian in concert in 1993, but I was disappointed that he didn’t do that song along with all his hits from the 60’s. Well, we Gen X’ers are accustomed to being ignored.

Hey, Jacki.
Anson Williams sang a lot of songs on Happy Days, but I’m pretty sure the theme song wasn’t one of them. Wikipedia credits the performance to Jerry McClain and Truett Pratt.
Just a couple of years ago I saw Pump Your Blood being used on an aspirin commercial!

Lucy is currently passing through the main asteroid belt in preparation for its next Earth flyby late next year. Just a few months ago it was decided to have it fly by a small main belt asteroid while it’s out there, so on November 1st of this year we’ll be getting our first views from Lucy of a new world!

Lisa also did the “Melanie sway” in Look What They’ve Done to My Song.

Hey, Jung.
She actually appeared on several episodes over the course of a couple of years. I’m quite certain that the music (other than Suzi) was supplied by outside people.
I never thought about it when I was a kid, but even though the band on the show played a lot of gigs, there was never an occasion where we saw them practicing, or even talking about playing instruments!
-
David Y., it would be cool to track whether there is in general a correlation between the month-to-month variations in total views and the popularity of the most recently posted MLT video.

Ever since I found out that Suzi was an actual musician, I’ve wondered how she ended up on Happy Days. I read that Garry Marshall (the show’s creator) first learned about her because his teenage daughter had a poster of her on her bedroom wall, and he immediately cast her without an audition. But did he already have the Leather Tuscadero story arc planned out and thought Suzi had the right look, or did he just see the poster and think, “I must get her on the show somehow”?
