We open "RAMBLING 'ROUND RADIO #7 {SERIES 2 #1}"; in a postal building where we are seeing the Postma in a bared office dressed in a black  suit, white shirt and a black tie.  He is busy at work sorting his post.  We are now seeing Miss Bonnie Poe walking into the Postal Building dressed in a beautiful black dress with a huge white bow at the neck, black full length coat and a black hat as she has now reached the Postmans cage.

MISS BONNIE POE to the POSTMAN:  (As she is standing there in front of his office with a happy look on her face as she is saying through the office in a happy voice to get his attention):  "Yoo-hoo!"

POSTMAN to MISS BONNIE POE:  (As he is now greeting her with a dazed look on his face as he is saying to her in a questionable tone of voice):  "Me?"

We are now in the ballroom quarters of the hotel where we are seeing the postman coming out of their hotel room looking for them to give them their post and is standing on an inside balcony landing getting ready to call them as he now stops to watch them doing their dancing routine.  We are now seeing a beautiful stage settin, a back drop of a beautiful tree lined Southern platatian as the stage is set with two sets of side steps lined  with beautiful palm trees.  The centre of the stage is lined with six beautiful spot lights and is tiered by eight black marble shallow steps and a beautiful  white marble based water fall with an angel in the centre playing a harp as water is now spraying upwards around the angel.  We are now seeing Rosita slowly walking down one of the sets of steps dressed in a beautiful full length white ball gown as she is now holding it out at  her sides as she looks like a beautiful angel flying down the stairs.  Ramon is dressed in a tuxedo as he is now meeting up with her and is kissing one of  her hands as they are now slowly walking down the centre steps looking at one another with loving looks on their faces for one another as they are now doing a beautiful waltz with one another as we are hearing Miss Vera Van singing in the background.

"MOONLIGHT MEMORY:"         BY:  MISS VERA VAN:          {START}:

"A moonlight memory, a meeting by the sea, then romance that just had to be.  I thought a starry night glance, come what will, I though to my excitement, thrill on thrill, each second was a dream, each moment was so dear.  And the hours of parting was so near, as Summer fades into Autumn,  think of me for I will have a moonlight memory.  Here we are having a break from the singing as we are seeing Ramon and Rosita waltzing beautifully with one another to the song 'Moonlight Memory'

For I will have a moonlight memory.

We are also seeing Ramon and Rosita ending their waltz with one another as the are bowing gracefully to one another.  All the while that Ramon and Rosita were beautifully waltzing with each other we saw the postman standing on the balconey with a sweet and happy look on his face as he was enjoying their dancing. We are now in the hotel quarters of Mr. George Jessel as we are now seeing a postal envelope that reads as follows:

MR. GEORGE JESSEL to his PIANO PLAYER:  (As Mr. Jessel has now hung up the telephone receiver and is saying to him in a sarcastic tone of voice):  "A benefit, I'll probably make a fortune out of this thing.  Just when you get in the middle of rehearsing something always happens."
