I have been reading about Lou. There is a lot of information in that book about Bud. Both were fascinating people!

I grew up in the 70's watching them every week on TV. They were my favorites.

Great thing about A&C is that they could get laughs without being dirty, unlike today's so called "comics". Their "Who's On First ?" routine has not been equaled and still never fails to get laughs.

It continues to surprise me that no matter how many times you see "Who's on first?" it just never seems to get old.

Lou's daughter was on Johnny Carson once, her voice was eerily similar to his. She said they'd done some shows in England at one time and since baseball was pretty much unknown there they'd somehow converted WOF? to soccer and it was a great hit. If anyone knows of a recording/video of that being available please share, I'd love to hear/see it.
