[HAM] Ethel Smith

[Drew Hoelscher]

She's in a compilation of Disney shorts called "Melody Time", which I 
think is a 1947 release.  The short she stars in is called "Blame it on 
the Samba".

I got the VHS of "Melody Time" from Amazon.com, if I remember 
correctly.  I really like it!  Especially when the woodpecker (parrot?) 
tries to give her a "hot foot" by placing matches in her platform shoe 
and lighting them...(while she's kicking pedals and then kicks the 
little bugger off the pedal board; all without missing a beat).

Very dated, but it makes me laugh and you can see that she is an 
organist (Hammonist) extraordinaire!
