Interesting. Jazz music in a country setting. That must be one of the first music videos.

Here is some info on Abbot & Costello:

Abbott and Costello William (Bud) Abbott and Lou Costello (born Louis Francis Cristillo) were an American comedy duo whose work in radio, film and television made them one of the most popular teams in the history of comedy. Thanks to the endurance of their most popular and influential routine, "Who's on First?"---whose rapid-fire word play and comprehension confusion set the preponderant framework for most of their best-known routines---the team is, as a result, featured in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

May I say I am a huge Abbot and Costello fan I think I ahve seen every movie. I am waiting for some one to do their story. Nathan Lane I think could do Lou. If there are other fans there is the Official website run by the families of Bud and Lou. abbottandcostello.net

I think that episode was shot on the Warner Ranch, but I'm not sure. Living in LA, I always check the backgrounds of the sets for signs.
