The tribute at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood? If so, I wish I would have known you were there! At that particular tribute, he was in a wheelchair due to having recently broken a hip, and seemed a bit “out of it” overall (but his wife Hunter did try her darnedest to prompt him for anecdotes). But there were a bunch of great clips shown, some very rare, and there were a bunch of tributes, live and on video, from people ranging from Micky Dolenz to Weird Al. Incidentally, Dr. Demento appeared via video — and I couldn’t help but wonder what he possibly had to do that evening that was more important than appearing in person at a Stan Freberg tribute. Without Stan Freberg, he’s just an eccentric jazz record collector named Barry Hansen. -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
