The Very Funny Side of Pete Barbutti (1966)


Pete Barbutti was/is a really funny guy and like Jack Sheldon and Steve Allen (and in one horrific instance, Eddie Harris) was simultaneously a comedian and jazz musician and great at both. This is a surprisingly hard to find LP.

The George Gobel Show (1954)

Classic Television Showbiz's Late Late Show: Renfrew of the Royal Mounted (1937)

I get a big kick out of the ol' B-movie genre of "Mountiexploitation." This one is especially enjoyable as our singing RCMP officer doesn't just croon about getting his man, but about barbecue sauce as well. Highly entertaining.
