This is one of Richard Jeni’s best bits, and it’s a classic.
He’s in top form, snark at its best, impeccable timing
adding much to the performance.
One of the very best stand-up comedians ever, quite
possibly Top Ten.
Some excellent lines here…

The great Tom T Hall just passed away at the age of 85.
Considered by some to be one of the better story telling
artists in country music, he released a lot of hits, 12 of
which went to #1 on the charts and 26 reached the top #10.
Prolific and blessed with a rich soothing voice that made
him a star whose career lasted almost fifty years.
I play this tune on the show, it fits quite nicely.
R.I.P. Mr. Hall, you will be missed…

A certified Chandler Travis classic.
Either that or Chandler Travis is certified.
Sometimes I’m not really sure which it is.
I love playing this on the show, it confuses people.
That alone is a great reason for living…

Red Green (Steve Smith) is a sage of very high repute.
He says things in an unassuming way, no polarity at all,
and the wisdom contained therein appeals to all of us.
That’s my take anyway.
I’m getting older, I can relate to this bit.
When I need to grin, I think of him…

I was really tired, not sure if I was going to make it the whole show.
It felt at times that I would nod off between sets.
A feeling that I absolutely dread, having done just that once before.
That happened a couple of years ago.
The one and only time I fell asleep during a show.
Mine is the last one of the day, usually done by eleven pm.
Woke up at one in the morning…Dead Air…Oh Nooooo!
Opened one eye, noticed the on-air board with no movement on the
levels meter, for a brief moment I thought it was just a quick nod off.
Nope.
Fast forward to the present day.
Played some Summer stuff, have to keep that going a bit longer.
A few blocks of interest…coffee, beer, Pete, and sports.
Bobby Bare is a treasure, a wonderful singing voice in his prime.
He is still with us, the only one left from the Old Dogs, unfortunately.
Red Green is always a treat to play, down to Earth and wise to a fault.
Robbie Benoit lives on, and that is as it should be.
One of my favorite comedians as of late is Greg Warren.
Da Yoopers make a showing with a classic.
I played a Certified Guitar Player on the show!
Dean Obeidallah is a breath of fresh air.
Chandler Travis is a hoot.
Alonzo Bodden is a great stand-up comedian.
Does your coffee have Chick Corea in it?!
Don’t Ask!
I was just thirty five cents short!
Don Novello was/is a very underrated comedian.
