A funny yet sad show this week, saying goodby to the graduates
always brings a tear to my eye.
Not for reasons that you might think…a lot of them owe me money.
Well prepared they are, wealthy they will become.
Some great Shane Mauss this week, as well as Andy Woodhull and
Jake Johannsen…all top notch comedians.
I also played one of the rarest 45s in my collection, Jim Stafford
never sounded better.
Kurt Weitzmann is very twisted, that is a GOOD thing.
The show was worthy…

Go Forth and Conquer!

This is special!
Not your typical comedy song.
In an effort to broaden your, and my,
horizons I offer this wonderful piece
of animation by the virtuoso violinist
Augustin Hadelich.
Though not pure comedy, there certainly is
some humor here, along with some superb
playing by Augustin himself.
Helped quite nicely, of course, by the gifted
composer Nicolo Paganini.
Do yourself a huge favor and search on the
internet for Mr. Hadelich, you will discover some
incredible things about him, his skill set, and
an unfortunate series of events that almost
stopped his career before he became the gifted
musician that he is.
I took violin lessons for quite a while when I
was much younger, on a good day the sound could
best be described as “awful”, with varying degrees
of “horrendous” depending on whether or not I was
drooling heavily at the time…

Hale and Pace were a comedic phenomenon that
ruled British television during the 80’s and 90’s!
When they were on top of their game they were a howl.
Low key, smart comedy that the British are known for.
Like this sketch…

Tommy Johnagin with a funny riff on his parental units!
Some good lines here, he’s an excellent comic.
His timing has never been better, a lot of times that
can really make the joke.
He has a keen mind, that will go a long way…

Rhett and Link with a great life hack!
Lesson learned…?
Always keep a spare BLT sandwich tucked away in
your utility belt, you never know when you’ll
need to rub it on something.
Hold the mayo…

A cautionary tale from Birdbox Studios!
There are times when it is VERY important
to know what you are up against.
In this case, is it something you can throw
on the fire and have the kids make ‘Smores
with, or could this make you postpone the
travel plans that you had for the weekend?
Life can be harsh…
