Overview

Burnett portrayed an anti-love protest marcher and a singer who couldn't spell, which created problems when she tried to perform Oklahoma and Mother. Musical numbers included a straight performance of Stormy Weather by Burnett. The Doodletown Pipers performed "Up, Up and Away", "Hang On Sloopy", "Georgy Girl", "A Hard Day's Night", "Feeling Good", "California Dreamin'" and "Our Place".[1]
The last telecast of Our Place was on September 3, 1967.[2]
