My father was Neil LeVang, guitarist and banjoist for the show from 1959-1982. Your dad was such a great musician!

I also mowed his lawn as the children were to young to do the job. I sure enjoyed doing the job as he always paid me a little extra for the fine job that was done, in his opinion. I use to play the accordian, and like the song Lady of Spain, so he would play that song on the banjo for me, when I would get up the nerve to ask him to. I'm very proud to have had the honor to consider Mr Peabody a person that I looked up to and admired.<br /><br />Duane "Dewey" MooreAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056699079325632692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345662905143790534.post-47413597997691457152012-04-19T06:33:07.162-07:002012-04-19T06:33:07.162-07:00You are absolutely correct!

The chap who was peaved was Tarrant Bailey Jnr, a classical banjoist. Either way, it did not detract from being a super read and thoroughly entertaining in every way.
