I so love the diction from this era. It's so distinctive, the clear enunciation and the "I don't mind telling you wHHy!" You can hear the "h." I had a sweet, friendly older neighbor who talked like this when I was growing up (she was probably a contemporary of the enthusiastic Gallo spokeswoman, actually), and it makes me nostalgic to hear it!
