A hilarious Bob & Ray radio sketch featuring a bonehead radio interviewer as he screws up his interview with Dr. Daryl Dexter, worlds living expert on the Komodo Dragon . Some younger blog vewers may not be aware of the comedy duo of Bob & Ray who were a very popular radio team on the 1950's. They featured dead pan, often banal sketches. on the mundane aspects of life  with charcters like Wally Bellew , the slow Talkers of America. Charles the Poet etc. I especially love their coverage of the Corrupt Mayor of Skunk Hollow , New Jersey.
 I include this in a musical blog because it demonstrates he importance of timing in comedy just as it is in jazz-the right expression (beat) at the right time. Sometimes the pauses are more significant than the words or notes.
