#2: "Wow! I didn't realize he was still alive. Rest in peace Ed."

Neither did I. I loved the Ames Brothers too. Ed Ames really made the world a happier better place. It seems so long ago, a galaxy far far away, a better healthier, happier American culture. Thanks Ed!

2nd. Watched that show on old school broadcast TV as a kid.

I suppose my wife is sort of metaphorically related. She’s a descendent of Squire Boone.

[VTenigma]

Well said, I agree. RIP Ed, and thank you.

That hatchet throw on Carson was the funniest piece I ever saw on there; and I saw a ton. It ranks slightly ahead of his response to Zha-Zha Gabor’s “Would you like to pet my pussy?”

As a very young girl, I remember hearing “Try to Remember” and “My Cup Runneth Over” on the car radio. Just a couple of years later, there wasn’t anything like that. Only years later did I learn that pop music used to include music like that … before rock took over. I love rock, but I loved those gentle, well-sung melodies too.

For a long time, I thought actor Jack Palance was a ‘fifth’ Ames Brother, his physical resemblance and bold style seemed to fit right into the family mold.

I figured Jack was that Ames brother who did those one armed
Push Ups.

Two things I remember him for....that thing with Johnny Carson and the song “My Cup Runneth Over”.

RIP

Never heard that version before. I was only familiar with the instrumental version by the Village Stompers.

[ABN 505]

Back when late night TV had real entertainers and funny hosts, nowadays MEH.

[Dan in Wichita]

RIP, Mingo. Another connection to the America of my youth is gone.

[Buttons12]

Love them both. The Village Stompers’ version, an instrumental, is something I’ll never get tired of.

He was a good singer, and had some good songs. His “My Cup Runneth Over” was very good.

[married21]

Thank you! That was beautiful.
