It's Bob, Bob, Bob and Ray, Ray, Ray!
Posted by maggie

Sorry to post this so late in the day, but I wanted to notify everyone that I have just shoveled a skidload of [credit-card] cash to the website for Bob and Ray.

This is the final day for a Half-Off sale "in honor of Bob Elliott's 85th Birthday." I think the stack of simoleons completes my collection of currently available recordings of the decades of delight produced by Elliott and the late Ray Goulding. (If you check the website above, you can click on the Charles Osgood audio for a brief sample. You can hear an interview with Elliott and more samples of their strange, gentle, absurdist routines at National Public Radio.)

Again -- apologies for telling you so belatedly, but I couldn't let the deadline pass without recommending the special sale.

I have a few Best of compilations on tape that I got either from the Wireless catalog or Radio Spirits 10 years or so ago. I need to revisit those and probably order some of these some time.

I checked my shelf at home and saw that the tapes I have are the Classic Boy and Ray collections. Quickly comparing with the site, it appears the contents of the tapes were transfered over to the Classic Boy and Ray CDs. I didn't take a close enough look at the other collections, but do you know if there is any overlap between the various types of collections at the Bob and Ray site?

Thanks,

Neil

A new big sale is going on right now and they also have Jean Shepherd material as well.
