My Son, The Flashback

I was (and still am) a big fan of Allan Sherman, the great singer of song parodies. As I mentioned back here, he played the Hollywood Bowl twice — in 1963 and again in 1964 — and both times, my parents took me to see him.

Eric Yarber, a devout follower of this blog, e-mailed to tell me that someone has uploaded to the net this audio recording of Allan Sherman at the Bowl. It's 47 minutes of what he did there in '63 and I was in that audience. I am amazed to be able to hear it again, more than half a century later.
