Index Number: 6966 Ron... Do you remember the name of that commedian? It's been bugging me that I can't remember it (will probably wake up at three in the morning with the answer...). There's a guy named Henry Holden who does standup commedy with crutches, and a blind commedian named Gord Payner (?), and there's always Geri Jewell, but that's a different entertainment category. What's his name???? Jesse -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!300!7!Jesse.Tharin Internet: Jesse.Tharin@f7.n300.z1.fidonet.org

Gene Mitchener is a comedian with a sensory nerve disorder. He does sit-down comedy: "You'll notice I'm in a wheelchair tonight. I thought I'd slip into something more comfotable. I used to be in an iron lung." The British comedy team Flanders and Swann, popular in the '50s and still among those in the know, like me. I think it was Swann who performed from a wheelchair. Their two classic recordings were "At the drop of a hat" and "At the drop of another hat." Funny stuff! -rsr- ... When I want your opinion I'll give it to you. L.J.
