On a free night, Steve got a hold of three Harley's for him, me and Jim Garner to go to Obermensing for a folk festival. Neither Garner nor I had many cycle hours and the narrow streets, humped in the middle and made of cobble stones would have been scary enough, but then to have cars flying by within inches, made Garner and I think it was our last trip anywhere. We got to the folk fest...lots of carny offerings...throw balls in holes, ride bumper cars, etc. From a big tent, we heard classical oompa music and that is where we headed. Picnic type tables, the local community..many in leather pants, the band and lots of beer. Steve and Jim were recognized immediately and room was made at a table with a policeman, a dairyman, etc. While we didn't know German, pretty soon we are singing along as if we knew the words. The crowd got Steve standing on the table singing the chorus of whatever....everyone loved it. Going home in a light rain was horrible. Jack Linkletter Host of HERE'S HOLLYWOOD

Later he sings "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." Singer of Jazz, Ruth Olay sings one number. It is a rare example of her television guest starring appearances (1957-1963). The song opens with an introduction to a Jazz instrumental with a narrator stating: "You've got to flip for St. Louis. They got there from cardinals to seals to chimpanzees. Society cats who make the scene at the Chase Hotel. And, the kind of cats who dig back alley joints." Ruth Olay sings: "One name that walks right by my door today, That man, man, walks right by my door today, No let up. Just get goin' on his way. Always thinking I can't hold on much more. I can't hold on much more, Seems like everyday I love you more than the day before. You've been gone two years. I hope it ain't a gonna be two years more, I need lovin bad, I'm keeping' mine in store. Yea, when you come home I'm gonna lock you up baby like I did before, in a small pad up the California shore. And tell them all you've gone... And lock this door and throw away the keys." There are two solo performances by classical guitarist Laurindo Almeida, including "Bad and the Beautiful."
