NOW PLAYING: Allan Sherman - "The Twelve Gifts of Christmas"
It's undeniably summertime and so for this week's #StupidAccordionTrick we return to #AllanSherman revisiting his own memories of summer camp. When we last saw him, he was having a terrible time at #CampGranada -- now, one year later, he can't get enough of the place. From 1964, here's his #ReturnToCampGranada.
I was never a big fan of the young #MartinMull. I thought the songs of #RayStevens & #AllanSherman were funnier. Mull's musical recordings were unusually #sardonic for the times, but I found his later on-screen character performances to be repellent & smarmy. I finally took a shine to him in his #curmudgeon phase on the ultimately surreal #Til Death and the second #Ellen.
I #Hope2C #CBS finally make those last unaired episodes free to view.
That crazy album promo could remind one of the empty store scene in #SpinalTap, which included his almost partner, #FredWillard. More than likely this promo would have occurred in at least a half dozen cities back in early 70s. Therefore there could still be tens of thousands of his early #Boomer fans that could supply some further details.
I thought he might have possibly made a note about the promo somewhere.
I thought he'd remember it for sure because R said he'd performed his memorable #TiptoeThruTheTulips #TinyTim impression
Happy Weekend
It's been a wild week, for some.
I've been in or through a few storms, an earthquake, air delays and cancelled flights... finally made it to a nice calm land of gators & Burmese pythons.
"I used to love travel. Now I love visiting, *traveling* not so much"
It stopped raining today, temps low 70s going up to low 80s.
"Gee that's better"... Reminded of this:
