[78-L] Nostalgic! Vaughn Meader

[David Lennick]

Might be time to listen to those again! I haven't gone near any of those albums 
since I did a 6-part series for Morningside (CBC, 1980) on political humor and 
got thoroughly depressed wading through a lot of the later dreck.

Mort Sahl..all is forgiven.

I'm sliding it out of its jacket right now! Alen Robin's sequel, "Funny Farm," on the Courage label is even racier - the producers went wild when they found a snippet from a Hubert Humphrey speech?where he says "really naked." That became a running gag throughout the record as Hubert interrupted every mildly suggestive statement with his comment.
