Since 1970 when he first took to the radio in his secret identity, Barry Hansen has been a champion of funny records. He has made many careers by promoting the music of new, up-and-coming performers and he has introduced veteran performers like Stan Freberg, Spike Jones and Tom Lehrer to a new generation or two. Wearing the top hat of Dr. Demento, he has been a fixture of radio and its Internet equivalents and done oh so much to preserve old recordings.
Some folks are fixin' to do a documentary about the guy and to fund it via Kickstarter. As of this moment, they've had $64,774 pledged but their goal is $100,000 and they have only three days to get to it. I urge you to go to their Kickstarter page, browse about and consider joining me by pledging some dough. It seems like a most worthy cause to me.
