We certainly were goofy back then. I don't imagine that we have changed as much as we think. Thank you for the classic memories.

So many things that stand out. First, no kid today could watch this for more than 10 seconds. There are not enough camera angle changes, crazy loud music, digital displays, or screaming in-your-face contestants. The first guest, Buzz, is a record shop owner. Not many of those guys any more. Also a book stitcher after that. Then an actual snail mail address on the screen. I used to watch this show all the time, and forgot about it. Thanks for posting!!!!

I grew up in Geneseo, bought my first guitar (and many others over the years) at Buzzo Music. Al was a great guy and a community fixture in the small college village of Geneseo. For years Buzzo would lead the Halloween parade of kids in costume up Main Street, where Buzzo's shop was at the far end. It was a great place to be a kid, despite the cultural upheaval of the Nixon era. The world could use more Al Brunos, now more than ever!
