Tom Parks is one of the very best stand-up comedians I
have ever heard.
He hit his stride in the 80’s and 90’s, headlining a HBO
television series, a few solo comedy specials and some
talk shows…not, in my opinion, close to what he deserved.
He has it all, stage presence, superb material, and timing.
A very well balanced comic, I wish he still toured.
Here he is doing two of his classic bits, as good as it gets.
The video is a little weak but very usable, well worth
the time spent watching a master…

I was thinking of posting this superb example of
Chap-Hop just the other day.
Topping it off with a steaming hot cup of Orange
Pekoe as I type this.
I do so love British humor…

This is a zany example of what Rhett and Link can do.
You have to give them credit, they have pretty damned
good imaginations with a rock solid sense of humor.
I’m liking Nora bunches right now…

James P Connolly with a humorous look at selling yourself.
In more ways than one.
He’s a pretty good stand-up comedian, used to be a marine.
Must have been a good one at that, he came back to be a
comedian…

A Shel Silverstein classic as done by the man who made it famous.
I was never a big fan of Johnny Cash growing up, folks pegged him
as being a country music artist but I learned that he was so much
more than that.
I’m not against country music, there are artists that I like that have
made their living in that genre, but it is a bit confining and not
something I’d listen to when needing a good tune.
Mr. Cash was different, one of the first bad-boy artists, he had a
reputation as being a renegade of sorts.
He was also a huge fan of Shel Silverstein.
Proved that the man had class.
This is the live prison version, you can hear the inmates in the
background enjoying the Man in Black and his back up band.
I do like this piece, it’s sung with passion, and humor…
