I hope somebody's still visiting this forum.

I remember Rusty Warren's "Knockers UP!" album...a friend's boyfriend had it (I think he got it from his older brother in 1956 or '57...we were juniors or seniors in high school, and the brother was in the Marine Corps.) One of the songs on it was a hilarious thing about a sailor who never forgot the girl who gave him his "first lei in Hawaii."

I also remember "Work with Me, Annie,: and the sequel: "Annie Had a Baby (Cain't Work No Mo')"

Stand-up comics like Lenny Bruce were starting to make names for themselves in the clubs in the late 1950s and early '60s, AND making comedy albums. I saw Bruce LIVE at the Unicorn on Sunset Strip some time before 1963 ... after sitting through two sets, every muscle in my face and torso was on fire from laughing so much. I loved and admired that man through all his persecutions by the blue-noses and everything else until the day he died. I still do. I had all the (expurgated) recordings he did for Verve (cherry RED vinyl!)...and like an idiot, I loaned them (AND my Cal Tjader collection) to someone in the 1980s, and she promptly skipped town.

Oh! WHO recorded "Big 10-Inch....Record of the Band that Plays the Blues"?

That was VERY popular when I was in high school...even in a "morally" uptight town like Beautiful Downtown Burbank (dancing of ANY kind was frowned on by practically everyone...so I studied ballet and tap for most of my childhood). I'm surprised there wasn't a pillory in front of City Hall.
