Welcome to CRAZY COLLEGE, the last bastion of all musics odd, silly, or forgotten; anything from Stan Freberg to Allan Sherman, from Weird Al Yankovick to Spike Jones, from Noel Coward to Sir Harry Lauder, from The Foremen to..well, let's just leave it at that...Odd Instruments, Instrumentals, musicals, kids' records, stereo demonstration Lps, ephemera from Vaudeville, Tv, and Films, just about anything that makes one shake one's head up and down and even sideways!
We had problems with our email from 7/4 until 7/12. So if you wrote us please resend. We didn't get it.
Calling all archives: We need Shel Silverstein's "The Father of a Boy named Sue." Can you help? Please so that more can laugh...
HOT NEWS: The new Ray Stevens cd is out: Musical yucks about trucks. Hear it here on Crazy College just as soon as we can scarf up a copy .... and Mr Stevens said he's ready to sit down for an extended interview! Stay tuned....
I though you might enjoy 4E's business card that a good friend sent me when the old Ackermonster died recently.
You have to get this book! Its author, Gregg Ehrbar, will be a guest on Crazy College sometime soon, so do your homework NOW!
Here's a link to my favorite website (but knock off the twittering already). Mark Evanier's News From Me. If this works I'll start putting more links I think you'll enjoy on the site. But Yahoo wants more money again and is making me go through hoops to "upgrade" even though I don't want to, so all bets are off: http://www.newsfromme.com/
*Nope, didn't work...Where is a child to show me how to do this when I need one? *
I had lunch with Soupy Sales at his home! May 19, 2008. Thank you, Kathy O'Connell and Trudy Sales for a really great day
Here I am up to my elbows in dogs: White Fang and Blacktooth, specifically. The arms used for the 1977 syndicated version of the Soupy Sales Show.
New releases from Archiophone! Collect them all

More on Colonna when I air my interview with his son in the fall. Get his book on the old man while you can.
Here's the picture cover for an incredibly rare double-A side 45 from Senor Wences. Thanks to the generosity of Delaware broadcast legend Roger Holmes for the record. The back of the picture sleeve is just as nice
:
And surprise: BOTH sides of the 45 are GREAT! A real treat!!
Newsweek has a whole page on Ross Bagdasarrian, aka, Davide Seville, that's accurate and appreciative. Check it out!
From the G. Stewart/C. Healy Archives: A 7 year old Andrew Warhola does his first silk screen: "36 Wax Coke Bottles."
Join me every Sunday evening at 6:00 PM on 91.3 FM, WVUD, Newark or evey day on Shokus Internet Radio.... where like an babbling brook, they STREAM!
Now Playing the week of....
JULY 13
Streaking
On the next edition of Crazy College, Burt & I take Jerry Lewis for a ride. Julie Brown and Clint Eastwood protected their right to bare arms, while Martin Mull and Ray Stevens bared everything else – when we revisit that Seventies fad of “Streaking.” All that and then some, next time on Crazy College.
JULY 20
Beatnics
This week on Crazy College, we salute the Beatniks with the likes of Edd “Kookie” Burnes and Perry Como. Then we hit the highway to hilarity with the likes of Jerry Van Dyke.
JULY 27
Wanderlust
This week we ride the rails with The Firehouse Five, pull Taffy with Minnie Pearl, and sample the delights of unorthodox instruments like a musical saw and a steam Calliope.
AUG 3
No. 128 Summer
Now that Summer is upon us, it’s time for Crazy College to hit the beaches. We find Sheri Lewis and Lamb Chop selling seashells at the seashore. Jerry Lewis and Ariel live to the fishes. And Brian Hayland finds Annette Funichello’s yellow polka dot bikini to be just a bit too itsi bitsy for good taste – from the album The Thong Remains the Same. All that and then some, when Crazy College summers in the sun.
AUG 10
No. 76 WOODSTOCK
It’s three days of love piece and underhandedness this week when Crazy College goes wallowing in the mud at Max’s Farm to try and recall anything some forty years later about the Junior Woodchuck Rock and Roll Extravaganza that happened once at Grandma Duck’s farm . I know I was there. Wasn’t I?
AUG 17
REVOLUTION
This week we go back in time to our prehistoric past to visit with Alley Oop and Trout Fishing in America. We get some child rearing advice from Joey Ramone and Robert Mitchum. And we have a 45 race, where we put two copies of the same record on two different turntables to see which one will finish first. No wagering please.
Aug 24
Hats
Aug 31
Bananas
On the next edition of Crazy College we hit the disco floor with Martin Mull, Mad Magazine, and Gefilte Joe and The Fish. Plus Philadelphia song meister Steve Pullara introduces the new dance craze, "The Banana" with the help of Tony Randell and The Hoosier Hotshots. All that and then some next time on Crazy College
SEPT 7 Feet
SEPT 14 Jean Shepherd
This week on Crazy College we remember Jean Shepherd, the great American humorist. Most know him from the film “A Christmas Story”, but he pioneer the radio talk format, telling his long, rambling shaggy dog stories nightly on WOR in New York City for well over twenty years.
.......
Now hear all WVUD's fine programming over the web by going to the web page and then clicking on "LISTEN", something good to do on Sunday nights twix 6 and 7 on WVUD..
Hey, all you big time public radio stations!
Updated 7/17/2009. This is the Crazy College Promise:
Fire up the colortini, kick back and put on the head phones...and wait some more....
NEWS FLASHS!..SEE EXCERPTS FROM THE CRAZY COLLEGE TV SHOW, BAKED POTATO, now on YOUTUBE!! Search "Baked Potato George" or copy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjlxxD575Ns Thanks to Al Engberg for making that happen...UPDATE!! We done got censored: See but don't here Baked Potato, since we hummed the theme to Star Trec, they tell us we're not playing nice with ASCAP and BMI. I say it's fair usage. So far they've won...
I remember when Calvert "performed" at the University of Delaware in the late 1980s. His rider required a bark-o-lounger and a bottle of scotch on stage, which was really the gym forecourt with a hundred folding chairs around. A student was selected to hold his cue cards which he read with diminishing success as he drank more and more of his scotch while reclining in his bark-o-lounger. When the bottle was finsihed, so was the show - and him. A pleasant time was had by all.
