"My son, you win the crown"

Memory Served: Sometime between 1976 and 1985, Makati and Las Pinas

For the month of September, I'm thinking of playing with the idea of blogs about "seven" -- its Latin form septem is where September is derived from.

For starters, in liwaliw Memories, the top-of-mind seven concept for a (Classic) Sesame Street kid like me would likely be the Alligator King and his seven sons. The lines "you helped me up when I was down" would deeply resonate to a young kid who wanted the shine of pride in his father's eyes.

This and several animation inserts in Sesame Street were the products of the tandem of Donald Hadley and Bud Luckey, according to Muppet Wiki. (Both have already passed away, Hadley in 2007, Luckey only February this year.) Animation geeks today will also recognize Luckey for his outstanding contributions with Pixar.
