Bev,

I'm afraid I have to hang my head and shame and admit that my cerebral cortex isn't retrieving Yucca Dew from my memory bank. What year was that, approximately, if you remember?
In Beverly Hills there's now this Radio and TV Museum that has videos of old TV shows and commercials (and audios of radio shows, I guess). I spent a few hours there about a year ago watching Amos and Andy, Mary Tyler Moore (Chuckles the Clown's Funeral- "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down the pants") and many more. I think they had two old commercial tapes. They actually started getting kind of tedious. The ones that I remember now are "I want my Maypo!!" and "Hamm's the beer refreshing." What was the one where the girl said, "Mother please, I'd rather do it myself!"
Anyway, if you ever get to LA, it's a lot cheaper than Disneyland, and if you're a Southern Baptist, you're not forbidden to go there. We completed the ultimate LA experience after leaving the TV museum by then driving past the Nicole Brown - Ron Goldman murder scene followed by OJ's house on Rockingham. What a glorious day!!

Keep those commercials coming. Yucca Dew!!!
