Grew up listening to a couple of goon Show albums and now have some on tape. Gotta get more. I'm involved in the terrible crime of passing on the delight to my children as my son loves listening to them as well.

I read Spike's war memoirs years ago and thought them funny, sad, bitter and very revealing about the source of some of his zaniness.
