Coincidentally visited Oscar Brand's website for the first time only yesterday (link from Arlo Guthrie's)....
The weekly TV show he hosted in the '60s was also screened here in Australia (anyone recall its title? - it was a B&W Fremantle production, probably out of Canada).
I do remember - don't expect him to - being his opening act at a Speakeasy gig in NY in the '80s.
