Memories of a Simpler Time and Place - The Dick Van Dyke Show

Songs are the filters of our memories. When we hear a song we can be transported back to a simpler time and place, like in this memory jogging song where Dick Van Dyke sings the forgotten lyrics to the "Dick Van Dyke" television show as Matt Lauer's guest on the today show.

Stars Among Us

I've heard it said that there are movie stars living among us in the San Fernando Valley, but they are elusive in their disguises and while they might turn up at any moment I wonder if we would even recognize them if we were face to face with them?

Not to long ago a friend went to dinner and she recognized a voice from another table. The lady was much older than her televison days, but it was her. It was the actress Rose Marie who played Sally Rogers on the Dick Van Dyke show.

The Dick Van Dyke show is an American television situation comedy created by Carl Reiner and starred Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore. It aired on CBS television from 1961 to 1966.
