One of the fun things that I like to collect are old comedy albums. Jonathan Winters (may he rest in peace) made some great ones, for sure. But the albums that make me laugh out loud more than five decades later are by Bob Newhart. His first and probably best is The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart, but there are at least a half dozen more from that era. There is not a mean bone in his body, and his legendary comedic timing is spot on all the way through. Even his topical humor is still hilarious. The one that I just heard was Behind the Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart, at least the fifth album of his that I have picked up from used record stores in the past few years. He’s still around and just put in an appearance on a sitcom; I think it was The Big Bang Theory.
