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.

Here we see the Postman looking through his bared office at her with a sheepish look on his face.

Now, he couldn't spell Constantinople, he didn't know beans from bones, nor pencils and books they were never made for Puddin' Head, Puddin' Head Jones. Now, that Casey told his mother that she would teach him a thing or two. Why she was only bluffing, he began to understand, she taught him to boop-boop. Puddin' Head, so he kissed her and she bought him sweets and candy, yes, candy and ice cream cones, quick who do you think kissed him? Mary. Puddin' Head, Puddin' Head, Puddin' Head Jones."

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.

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.
