His conductor on piano, a young drummer from the local U, a jazz guitar colleague of mine, and myself, on stage behind him. Still funny as hell, perhaps his impersonations aren't as sharp as they used to be, but also to be considered, 1. a good percentage of the folks he does well are dead [tho he still does Paul Lynde in his show!!] and 2. without a so-called "adult" variety outlet for his type of entertainment (i..e Carson) his mass audience TV-wise isn't there anymore. Hate to say it but it was largely a bluehair-kinda audience that night. Didn't take away at all from how good he is, tho. Down to earth too and not terribly "dig-me", pleasant. ObRMD: So how well-ensconced is the "First Family Rides Again" album in the land of Dementia? I passed it over zillions of times in the stores, just couldn't make the commitment to buy it. He does a good Reagan, but I guess by now the humor must be quite dated (then again I may be wrong) Chris Power Salad http://listen.to/powersalad
