Though not a musician, he was one of the most entertaining people I ever heard. "Car Talk" has been a weekend staple for me for many years. I suspect there are others around here who share my addiction. May The Four Winds Blow You Safely Home.

Yesterday I heard Terry Groce ask Doug Berman if Tom & Ray had trouble being that funny week after week; he said no - becasue that's how they were every minute of every day. The Lovely & Charming Mrs. Cowboy is not a car person, and would not miss them if she had a choice. And theme music by David Grisman - how could you go wrong? We'll miss you, Clack!

My dad used to take our cars to their garage back in the day. They were hilarious long before the radio show ever started. smokinbear Intermediate Member Username: smokinbear Post Number: 198 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Tuesday, November 11, 2014 - 9:41 am:    Best laugh i ever heard.
