The Tap Chicks.

 Abbate Caldwell will

 Abbate, one of the 
original Walt Disney 
Mouseketeers in 1955 and 
1956, was considered the 
best dancer in the cast 
and was lovingly given the 
nickname “The Dancer” 
by Annette Funicello. 
Abbate occasionally makes 
appearances with other 
original Mouseketeers at 
Disney-related events, and in 
2005 was asked to restage the 
original Disneyland debut 
of the Mouseketeers for the 
50th anniversary celebration, 
featuring children from the 
dance studio she ran for 30 
years in Southern California. 
She received the Mousecar 
Award from The Disney 
Studio in 2015 for her service

1953 Betty Grable and Dale 
Robertson musical film The 
Farmer Takes a Wife, the 
1955 Dean Martin and Jerry 
Lewis comedy film Artists 
and Models, the 1957 Johnny 
Crawford film The Courage

Tim Allen and J.K Simmons 
film 3 Geezers! as well as

 For the past few years she

Two Bits starring herself and 
dancer/actress Estee Cooper. 
The duo performed an act on 
America’s Got Talent in 2012

 Play Music on the Porch 
Day started out as an idea... 
“What if for one day everything 
stopped... and we all just 
listened to music?”

 This year, Altadena Library will 
join the thousands of musicians 
in at least 40 countries and 
400 cities around the world in 
celebrating Play Music on the 
Porch Day, by hosting a small 
jam session on the shaded 
Main Library lawn. Stop by 
between 4:00 and 6:00pm to 
enjoy local musicians jamming 
together acoustically on a 
beautiful summer afternoon. 
Musicians and singers, of all 
levels, are welcome to join in 
this collaborative and relaxed 
musical moment!

 Hint: Wear a hat and some 
sunglasses! Bring a little towel if 
you want to lounge on the cool 
grass. It stays pretty shady under 
our beautiful trees outside the 
Library, but it will still likely be 
warm.
