Uncle Floyd - Deep In The Heart of Jersey - 12/16/1981 - Capitol Theatre
Ferocious DesignsWe didn't get UHF Channel 68 growing up at the Jersey Shore, but when my sister and I would stay overnights with my grandmother, I would make sure to watch #UncleFloyd there (also where I first watched MTV because we didn't have that in Brick yet either). Things I remember from those days is Oogie singing "Puppetry Man" when Phoebe Snow was on and some ridiculous bit about fruit flies. Took this pic of him holding court after a show near me in 2016. Legend.
Jason DidnerI came late to the Uncle Floyd party - but am sure glad I made it! About 4 years ago a friend, who's distantly related to Floyd suggested I send him "You Can't Get There from Here in Jersey" for his weekly radio show. Floyd really embraced the song and played it on several occasions.
I dedicate yesterday's performance to Floyd, may his memory be a blessing.
for Uncle Floyd - "You Can't Get There from Here in Jersey"
Roger H.RIP Floyd Vivino, New Jersey's favorite uncle. When I was around five, my father brought me to the Union Market in Vauxhall to meet Floyd and the cast. I was completely floored. Before we left, I yelled out, "SNAP IT, PAL!" and they all broke out laughing. I still have the autographs. Bye bye, Floyd. You will be missed. #unclefloyd #floydvivino #newjersey

Tony MasielloDid anyone out here ever watch The Uncle Floyd show growing up???
RIP to Floyd Vivino, best known as Uncle Floyd, a very talented musician, comedian, television producer, and entertainer.
My brother and I used to occasionally watch The Uncle Floyd show after school, in the days when we only had one tv in the house. I can't remember now if we picked him up exploring the various UHF channels with the rotating roof antenna, or if it was the early days of cable, or maybe both.
Here is a little clip from the show, with Floyd showing his chops at the piano while some others on the cast got up to some mischief.
