Huge Waste of Time
Wasted a couple more hours this evening with the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives digitization project, this time with more episodes of our odd "compilation" series "The TRS Scrap Pile"...

In this week's scrap pile: "Almost"/"Rubber Biscuit"(The Blues Brothers), Fred Allen takes a look at the history of American humor.
The TRS Scrap Pile: Episode 21. Broadcast Wednesday, September 19, 1984 at 7:00pm central. Theme Music: Burt Reynold's House/If You Love Me Tell Me Loud(John Morris/Mel Brooks). In this week's scrap pile: scene from the very first episode of "Amos 'n Andy", an excerpt from the movie "42nd Street"(1933), Peter Lorre in the "Cask of Amontillado", excerpts from Benny Goodman's 1932 radio programs(Let's Dance/Crazy Rhythm/Love Is Just Around The Corner).
The TRS Scrap Pile: Episode 22. Broadcast Monday, September 24, 1984 at 9:30pm central. Theme Music: Burt Reynold's House/If You Love Me Tell Me Loud(John Morris/Mel Brooks). In this week's scrap pile: "No Not Now"(Frank Zappa), a Benny Hill skit about an interview with a poet, part one of the wedding of James Stricklin and Michelle Haney, "Witchcraft"(Elvis Presley).
The TRS Scrap Pile: Episode 23. Broadcast Friday, November 8, 1985 at 11:00pm central. Theme Music: Burt Reynold's House/If You Love Me Tell Me Loud(John Morris/Mel Brooks). In this week's scrap pile: "Beat Box"(The Art of Noise), "Relax"(Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Jimmy Durante and Eddie Cantor recall their early Vaudeville days, a blooper from "The James Stricklin Song Mirage", "Fantasy"(Aldo Nova/ James Stricklin/Randy Haney), James talks about Michelle's weight on an early "James Stricklin Happy Hour", "A Latin From Manhattan"(Al Jolson), the "Travel Agent" skit by "Monty Python"."
I announced the repetition of "Rubber Biscuit" from the previous week's show in episode 20 as "a scene from last week's show". To keep the show as "odd" as possible, episode 20 was "broadcast" with the shows closing theme music immediately after the "cold open".
I'm somewhat positive James would rather not think about the moment included in episode 22 these days, but shortly after it happened, I plastered it all over the place, including an episode of the "James Stricklin Happy Hour", "The Tape and Record Show", and "The TRS Scrap Pile". So, technically, it's a part of TRSE "history", thus "preserved", although, as usual, the "Scrap Pile" version had a "twist" at the end in editing.
