I honestly don't remember when I started listening. 1982? 1983 maybe? Just about the time Weird Al popped into the picture. My parents also thought that the instrument of choice should be the accordion and so, at age 7, I was given lessons. I only lasted about two years before I quit since my older brother quit - I wasn't doing that alone. Just a few short years later, I find this guy using an accordion to make funny songs. I was floored that somebody was making actual money with this thing. His talent was off the charts, so I followed his career. I listened to Dr D religiously taping just about anything. My love of comedy, parody and music grew. I still have some of those cassettes. I attended Al's last show here in Clearwater last month. I feel like I've been listening to this stuff my whole life....and since I'm in my mid-50s, I pretty much have. I'm so grateful for this stuff - it's gotten me through some really REALLY crappy days. The Good Doctor will be greatly missed.

I am so enjoying memory lane here, I cannot let this little dirty go unmentioned. Fast Food.
