More on The Old Philosopher

There's so much more to say about Eddie Lawrence. Brad Ferguson wrote, "The New York Times obit is good, but it neglected to mention that Eddie Lawrence hosted the Three Stooges show on WPIX Channel 11 in New York for about a year in 1963-64. That's how I found him."

My pal Mark Rothman wrote a tribute to Eddie that says much the same thing I said. I offer it as independent corroboration. Mark reminds me of another of Eddie's great roles — as a burlesque comic in one of my favorite movies, The Night They Raided Minsky's.

And here's a little sample of Eddie at work. This is a special Old Philosopher record he made for disc jockeys. Enjoy…
