Today's album is a down-home country (read: squeaky clean) comedy album from Hoosier native Captain Stubby.
He was the leader of Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers, a fun-time band in the tradition of Hoosier Hotshots--check out their tune "Wahoo".
He later moved to Chicago to write and perform on Don MacNeill's Breakfast Club, and also had his own syndicated radio show for many years.
Usually when recording a live album they stack the deck with a lively audience-- but it seems as though Cap'n Stubby is generating a little flop sweat at times trying to provoke a response from an audience hellbent on sitting on its hands. Maybe he made the mistake of working in a dry county. Though myself, I thought the punchline to the skinny dipping bit was pretty funny.

Doodad Records Galveston IN (references to hippies makes me think the recording date is circa 1967-1972)

Hi - found your blog today and spent several hours being entertained by it.
BTW: The Brother Dave Gardner zip file is corrupted and won't open.
I just downloaded & successfully opened the Brother Dave album. If you continue to have problems with it, contact me and I will find another way to get it to you.
Hi - thanks for the offer, but no need to go to the extra trouble. I'll just keep crate digging and flea market shopping and I'll turn it up soon.
I'll still be checking in on your blog, it's really cool!
