It's not that unexpected, since Dr. D is a musicologist rather than a musician or a singer. But didn't he clap or something on the in-studio recording of AORTB?

Yes that's where that took place. There is a pic of it inside Dr.D's 20th anniversary CD set. maybe Dr.D is more comfortable "acting" and talking then being a "musician"...or maybe Al secretly thinks he sucks...AGH what did I just say- Blasphemy! Shame on me. I'll go to my corner now.

Okay Alberta1 I was wrong. I guess it isn't a duplicate. Sorry.

All is forgiven

I never realised how popular dr demento was. I mean aside from the obvious that he started als career but i hear so much about him in this forum. At least al includes him in his work. What a nice man

Did you mean Al or Dr. Demento? Because I'd say they both are.

Al of course. But im sure the man who is responsible for the discovery of al is a very nice man too.

dr. d is actually pretty cool--too bad we can't get his show here in CO anymore. I've been debating sending him some music. He personally answers his mail most of the time and actually goes on tour, which is pretty cool I think.

C'mon, Sarley, don't be snarky. There are so many places where Dr. Demento is no longer on the air that it would be a valid question from somebody in this country. And Alberta is from Australia, fer cryin' out loud!
