Talk:Linus the Lionhearted/Archives/2017

i remember something about this...

"the cartoon characters packed a trunk within a spotlight. As the lyrics ended, the Billy the Bird character "mopped up" the white spotlight circle until it faded to black."

I have a vague memory of my grandfather telling me about an old and respected Vaudville comic who improvised an ending to his show by grabbing a broom and pretending to sweep up the spotlight on the floor. The light crewman caught on and slowly reduced the diameter of the spot light and the performer continued to sweep until the light finally was no more and the show ended witht the stage in darkness.

I have no other idea of the details but this all came back to me tonight while watching Linus on youtube during a bout of insomnia. thought it might be recognized by someone as relevant\.

I hope this is what this page is intended for...else please just forget about it  : ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.79.220.1 (talk) 10:52, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
