Celebrity never finds most of us, but for those it does locate, there's no accounting for how. Musician Hugh Brannum, who played bass, never became a celebrity in music, but he did as a children's show sidekick, Mr. Green Jeans on "Captain Kangaroo."
Brannum was second fiddle to the show's host, Bob Keeshan, "The Captain." Brannum also played a painter named Bainter, a clown, a singer and a professor on this show, which ran from 1955 to 1984--a long span of years.
Brannum died of cancer in 1987.
