Bob & Ray are still in my top 10 favorite comedians. We have the recording of their B’way play The Two & Only and tend to play it on long trips in the car. Hilarious! When I wasn’t working, I remember listening to them on the radio at home or in the car and marveling at their brilliant routines. They were perfect for radio...because they parodied radio.
Radio is a strange business. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen John Gambling, Jr. be fired. One day he is at WOR, one day he is at WABC, one day he is at 970AM Radio. Fickle, fickle, fickle!
We put on G&S, some old Country & Western ( Cash, Carter, & Cline ), BOB & RAY, and Broadway shows; a rather mixed and somewhat disjointed bag of things. hehehehehehehehe
B&R did FANTASTIC commercials ( voice-overs for cartoons )on earlyish T.V.!
Radio is a rough business and yes, I've heard stories re hired/fired/hired someplace else/fired/back to the first station etc.; such a scary and uncertain profession!
