    Hi,
     
    All of them good ... not great.
     
    Santa Barbara in the 70's had a notable named Ossman, living there and he was doing "Easy Street" at KCSB, playing old time radio stuff from his collection.  He later moved to KTYD and did even more shows for them, which likely meant he was getting paid for them. I can not remember of the KCSB show had a different name or not, or the KTYD one had a different name ... sorry ... or if the same show simply continued.
     
    That was my introduction to the Firesign Theater, and while not a gigantic fan like some folks, I liked the literacy of their work, in general, although at the same time, The Goons and PC and DM and English Comedy got a hold on me ... and the FT dropped in favor ... but still, they were nice and fun!
     
    I miss the comedic styles in those days ... many varieties ... you can't find anything like the Firesign Theater these days ... and comedy on TV is such a copykat thing, and half of it is not even funny! And the laugh track is obscene and de-humanizing!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    "...out west, a place where god-fearin' folk like ourselves can carve a new life out of the American Indian."
     
    I was living in Germany during FST's peak period, around 1970. At the time there was no English-language TV or radio available where I lived, so comedy records were a popular source of entertainment among us Yank ex-pats. Firesign Theater was second only to Cheech & Chong in popularity, and we knew every skit by heart - we'd sometimes rattle them off from memory to kill time on road trips enroute to gigs.
     
    More recently, I bought some newer Firesign Theater records via Amazon and was surprised and disappointed that they weren't nearly as clever and funny as I remembered. It would seem they hit their peak around 1972 and then stopped taking drugs. 


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
