Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness - Ep 131

For the uninitiated, the sounds you just heard were Spring Peepers.

A brand new recording for 2023. My usual spot was quiet. I was driving by a very small pond and heard these sweet sounds and had to stop, record and share.

I plan on making another recording at the larger area when that one gets-a-peeping.

Now,  for those who may be tuning in for the first time, my name is Tony Nesbitt. I produced Norm’s show from 1989 until 1996. I worked with him in studio and then when I moved to the David Brudnoy Show, I continued to book all his guests and make appearances that have become legendary. ;-)

The Vault of Silliness has been broadcasting for nearly 2.5 years! I’m just so thrilled that we can relive these classic radio moments that Norm graced us with.

I recently started a Patreon acct to help support the program. Please consider helping out and become a subscriber there. Once show costs are covered, I will be donating a % to the Berklee College of Music in Norm’s memory. The link is in the description box. Thank you again to those that have become Patrons.

Before we get to the meat of today’s episode, I also wanted to mention that WMCT here in Marlborough, MA, our local community cable outlet has expanded the reach of NNVoS. In addition to their public channel, they have added it to their ‘government channel!’ You can hear it on Friday and Saturday nights at 11pm just like those radio days of yesteryear. If you’re local, it’s on Comcast 8/Verizon 34.

Alrighty, today the Vault has spilled forth a DBG from March 25^th, 1995. I have titled it: Amusing Musings.

We begin with Norm introducing Jack first and he was not quite ready.

The rest of the panel:

Joe in Boston

Howard from Laconia, NH

Alice in Quincy

Glenn from Brighton

Jim Frawley producing and playing in-studio

Bdays:

Howard Cosell

Gloria Steinem

Aretha Franklin

Anita Bryant

Elton John

Paul Michael Glaser

Mary Gross

Joseph Barbera

A sample of the many Amusing Musings that took place:

Variety is the spice of life

The DBG rules are taught to every school child for those hoping to be part of the game someday

The DBG is being considered for the Olympics and Jeopardy.

Nick Lowe & Bonnie Bedelia

Wickedly cool ideas

Millard Fillmore firsts

Norm’s cheap 72 – 77 key piano, The SteinPoop

“Mr. Ugly”

Tasteless, worthless material

Tension and hate

The hybrid talk/game show idea is genius!

Do we have a time traveler on the panel?

And dwarves envy.

Ep 131, Amusing Musings, brings a smile to your ears in 3, 2 and 1.
