Not political, but this performance by Cass Elliott with Tom cracks me up every time.

I loved him!! My parents had several of their albums and we wore them out. Saw them perform here in Las Vegas many years ago and met Dick after the show. Got his autograph and a big hug when I told him a bunch of us junior high kids put together a petition to get their show back on the air. One of my favorite songs to play on my ukulele is Crabs Walk Sideways. :crying: :crying: :crying:

I was in high school when The Smothers Brothers Comedy Show was on TV and I remember my sister having one of their albums. My husband and I loved seeing them perform at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis. What a great act! Tommy brought joy to so many! He will be missed. :brokenheart:

Thanks for the clip of Tom and Cass!

I loved that show, and not just the laughs. Who remembers George Harrison coming on in his oh-so-tight leather pants?

We stayed at Caesars.

Went to Nacho Daddy for our first meal

Found it! One of my favorites, granted the video and audio is poor. But combine Peter Paul & Mary, Donovan and the additions to the musical round table of Tom and Dick and LOL.

I stand corrected. Tight pants, but not leather :oldlady:

We've lived here for almost 34 years. It's been interesting watching the city grow. We rarely go to casinos as we are getting older and it's more of a hassle these days. Plus I'm not a gambler. If you come back again, let me know and maybe we can meet up for a beverage. I have yet to meet a Fogbowser in person.

I went to the Nacho Daddy in Henderson once. It was good.

Rest In Peace

I had pants very much like that, blue IIRC. I like the green better I think and wouldn't mind finding a pair like that now.

But did their mum love him more? I seem to recall that which one of them their mum loved best was one of their recurring jokes.

RIP
