Danny Partridge was a good businessman and negotiated a number of endorsement deals with amp manufacturers over the period that the show was on air.

He also designed his own cabinets and amps. Those are the ones on the show that had no badges. They went down so well that Partridge Transformers Limited was founded in the UK. Their transformers were used in Hiwatt and Sound City amps.

This is really the case? It flies in the face of my limited knowledge of Mr. Bonaduce and his persona. Just goes to show, I guess, you never can tell.

Band uniforms were popular. Still are. Hawaiian and bowling shirts are at the top of the most liked list.

There was a time when Radio families were pretty popular, too!

Thank heavens! I thought you were privy to super-secret knowledge only available to those of the tube-amp-maven community. (Another way of saying I'm pretty darned gullible at times - I find the world to be a pretty strange place.)

Internet rumors like that one get started and eventually become fact.

It's worse than it may appear.

Well, let's get cracking....Danny is in need of a makeover.

You never know. Andy liked to provide instruction to the girl next door. I see Aunt Bea running the concession stand and Barney handling security.

And Floyd the Barber? And Otis? (Nice picture or that ol' lech, by the way.)

Here's a kick-ass version of the theme song by Henry Kaiser and company. (This moved a world-class female spectroscopist to kick up her heels and dance in our lab in the good ol 'days.)

What on earth did I just listen to?

What on earth did I just listen to?

For me, the high point is her singing 'Oh-hey-oh-hey-oh' at the very end, but I pretty much think it's all a work of genius. I think, but am not sure, Tom Constantin plays on this record.

ETA: Ixnay on the Constantin. He plays on other Kaiser records, tho.' However, ya got yer Andy West playing bass.

Otis was a hard drinking reporter. Floyd was in charge of social media.
