DR DAN M I have never seen or heard of that LP....do you own it? What is it? It looks like maybe it was a television show or something.
No, I was looking for things on Charles Nelson Reilly, knew he had been on the stage many, many times, and came across this LP that he had recorded with Robert Morse, I think in 1962 or 1963. It looks intriguing as I like both of them, but wanted to find out if anyone had heard the record and what they thought of it.
I knew Charles Nelson Reilly from his many visits to the Drama Book Shop, and I always looked forward to seeing him. I liked him enormously; we talked opera, singers, shows, his students, and gossip, and when he was in Jupiter, Florida, he'd call to order things and we'd talk about the productions and his students. . . .
CNR was a great guest on Johnny Carson and made MATCH GAME throughout the 1970s the afternoon "after-hours" party that it always seemed like it was.
I used to have (but was one of the things that was stolen from me) the complete Sid & Marty Krofft series that starred CNR, "Lidsville" which is really out there, and that's saying a lot 'cause their shows where already pretty out there to begin with. For those who don't know, the series begins with Butch Patrick falling into a magician's hat which opens into a magical land called Lidsville, a society of walking and talking hats, mainly voiced by Joan Gerber and Walker Edmiston. Charles Nelson Reilly is the baddie, playing Hoodoo the Magician who flies around in a flattened top hat.
