I've been a little distracted with some work complications that are becoming all too typical for the past day or so, which is exactly why I've tried to stock up on some items to trot out when I can't be bothered to track down new material. This is a second photograph of my television from the heady days of my long, lonely Labor Day weekend. The UPN 9 sports team, Russ and Monica, flank Tony Orlando here and help him sing "Knock Three Times" during the telethon. A cool surprise from Tony's performance was the presence of Toni Wine (a sliver of whom is visible behind Mr. Orlando's right arm). Toni, as a few of you might already be aware, is a real bubblegum legend, writing or co-writing a bunch of classic songs and voicing both Betty and Veronica on the first few Archies albums, most notably on Sugar, Sugar and Jingle, Jangle. Her connection with Tony Orlando is that she wrote Candida, and in fact rumor has it that they just released the demo for that single with Tony overdubbing the lead, so she is also probably the original Dawn.
