Hi Alaska Mike - I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

The songs your friend referred to hearing wouldn't be 'Clydesdale" or "Little Jim', would they? You wrote 2 beauties there, big fella.

I've found that the funny songs are what sell my CDs, both at shows and on the Internet. In fact, the comedy songs make up about 75% of the downloads I sell at CDBaby.

When I sing humorous songs in a club or at a concert, people usually want to buy the CDs with those songs on them.

Several of my CDs were recorded before an audience, and so the jokes and comic songs were part of the live show.

Now, as for how many times people can listen to the funny stuff when they get the CD home, that is up to them.

As Tom Bliss and Joe F pointed out up above, Les Barker, Tom Lehrer, Flanders and Swann, or my favorite, Victor Borge, can take repeated playings.

Like everything else, I suppose it's up to the individual.
