Dixie Evans (The Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque) and Rosie Mitchell, (Novita, the Pixie of Burlesque).

And to Florence Brill who took me to the store on my sixth birthday to buy a present for myself which turned out to be my first pack of Topps Baseball Cards which contained a memory which led to this podcast.

Were Don Rudolph and Patti Waggin real people?

Yes, Don pitched in the major leagues and you can check out his career at www.bb-ref.com. Patti was a highly paid burlesque dancer from the mid-1940's to the early 1960's.

Is the podcast fiction?

Yes. There are elements which turned out to be real events such as particular baseball games, but the story is fiction.

Are the songs copyrighted?

Yes, copyrighted, published and registered at BMI. 

Can I purchase NFTs with Bit Coin style currency?

No we are strictly dealing in dollars, or foreign currency converted to USD

Where can I learn more about this couple?

There is very little available on-line. We suggest our book "Fan Letters to a Stripper," because it is the most definitive work about them. There were articles written about them over the years but it should be understood there was a lot of "publicity" used in the articles.
