Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Bob Elliott, 1923-2016


Bob Elliott & Ray Goulding
Bob Elliott was half of Bob and Ray, the old radio and TV comedy duo.  My father loved Bob and Ray.  They began in the 1940's and worked into the 1980's.  Ray Goulding died in 1990.  Elliott died yesterday at age 92.

Their old comedy routines hold up well, and can be found on YouTube.  To remember Bob and Ray, here's one of their classics, "The Slow Talker."
