Either way, this is pretty fascinating stuff. The Drake story from the perspective of the guys in the business who were there would definitely be an interesting read.Kent Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957314237921636620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-48040598730205339802013-08-27T12:53:17.040-07:002013-08-27T12:53:17.040-07:00Jordan Hines booked these guys with the Marimba Si...Jordan Hines booked these guys with the Marimba Sisters for one of his productions.

What could he possibly have stolen from Rickles, though? Don's work was so weird and idiosyncratic. I'd love to know specific lines he lifted from Don's act, but I suppose too many years have passed for him to remember.<br /><br />But the idea of Don Rickles asking him "how's my act doing?" is priceless.<br /><br />- Glen RamkawskyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-91555453203106512302013-08-27T06:58:59.729-07:002013-08-27T06:58:59.729-07:00So, he'd rather not talk about him?
