Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness has bestowed upon us quite the gem.
This, a Dumb Birthday Game from July 29th, 1995.
I will title it ‘Radio Cowboys.’
Norm is again at his ad-libbing finest. Whether it be DBG rules, personal details of the celebrities or co-writing and singing a C&W song on the air (more on that later)…this is the show for you.
We are joined on the hot July night by:
Addie
Ellie from Salem
Robert from Everett but calling from rainy Ormstown, Quebec, Canada!
Lisa from Topsfield
Jack Harte
I’m producing and playing
And then, after some, what I will call, ‘open mic/dead air’ Liz is introduced.
Bdays:
Marilyn Quayle
Patty Scialfa
Elizabeth Dole
Ken Burns
Peter Jennings
Alexandra Paul
And we enjoy some events in history too!
What year did Jack Paar make his debut on the Tonight Show?
Prince Charles married Lady Diana
Transcontinental Telephone Service began – NY to San Francisco
Robert has a prize request if he wins the game and Norm is willing toupee even more.
The showery weather in Ormstown inspires and leads to some on-air writing and singing of what would become a country and western standard.
(Lyrics further down)
We also mention some lesser know c&w songs but are classics all their own.
The puns lead Norm to comment that the one thing he likes about the humor here is that it’s not forced. “Or funny” as Liz chimes in.
Let me remind you to like, subscribe and share what Norm refers to as “The worst display of whatever it is…”
Lyrics:
My trailer done rusted through
And now it’s raining on me head
Can’t stop sneezing, caught a cold
And ever since you went away
I feel so old
