Hi Vickie

Robin sure is still around. He posted here a little while back on the thread named "The Rationals" - you'll find his email address on his posting :o)

Hello Vickie, At the show for the Detroit Legends, there were videos of Swing Time for sell, and several other videos with Robin Seymour.

Vickie......

someof us in the UK have not even heard of Hy Lit let alone seen Tammi on it.

I hope at the launch party that you are inviting us all too, that you show us these clips!!

Arf arf!

Vickie,
Robin is living in San Diego. If you like I can put you in touch with Fred Saxon who can tell you how to reach Robin.

Thanks to evereyone and to John Lester -FYI
The Hy Lit clip is the only clip I have so far, I begun this phase earlier and put it aside now I am back to it..I know there are clips and archives out there...I just have to hunt for them and find them...There's also The Today Show clip which will be easy...Also I know fans have home films of Tammi & Marvin so I am hoping to begin compiling that too...
And yes Ralph, I'd love to be in touch with Fred and Robin..I found the email addesss on the thread that Sis mentioned, but the email bounced back...I will kep trying. Vickie

Robin Seymour is living in Los Angeles, and has been for years. He and his daughter Jennifer will be visiting Detroit around the 6th of August, and I will be seeing him. If anyone has any messages for him, just let me know, and I'll deliver them! The name of his television show, which was on CKLW, was called "Swinging Time".

By Ralph (209.240.222.130 - 209.240.222.130) on Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 03:59 pm:

OOOPS! Sorry Millie..I goofed. Fred lives in San Diego.

It seems to me that CKLW was a radio station known as "The Big Eight."....the 'Swinging Time' TV show was on CBC (Ch 9). I watched it all the time as a boy. My uncle Bud was on the teen jury.

Channel 9 was CKLW-TV. The network is the CBC. Like it was NBC and WDIV-TV.

By Millie (68.40.198.72 - 68.40.198.72) on Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 08:26 pm:

To set the record straight, when "Swinging Time" was on CKLW TV, both the tv station and the radio station, CKLW AM, known as the "Big 8" were owned by RKO. They also owned KHJ in Los Angeles, KGO in San Francisco and WRKO in New York. It was in the early 70's when both operations were taken over by the Canadians.

Ahhhhhhhhh of course Millie would know!! So it wasn't CBC back then? Well I was half right, as usual ...

By Sue (152.163.195.181 - 152.163.195.181) on Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 09:22 pm:

p.s. This is where the phrase "newspaper sure" comes from ...beware of trusting memory unless, like Millie, you worked there ...

By Ritchie (62.254.0.6 - 62.254.0.6) on Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 09:45 pm:

"Newspaper Sure"...?

Sue - you've obviously never seen some of our tabloids!

By Sue (205.188.209.48 - 205.188.209.48) on Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 10:34 pm:

Actually I have seen 'em Ritchie, Page 3 Girls and all, and you're right ... but I didn't say "tabloid-sure" !!

By Ritchie (62.254.0.6 - 62.254.0.6) on Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 10:36 pm:

Sue - quite right. I guess you were actually referring to newpapers, not comics ;o)
