Ventriloquist. Fairly well known in the 1950s and 1960s, I had his "Joke Along with Jimmy" album, which sped me on a path to comedy, a path soon littered with the bruised and battered. Via Masslive.
Lyricist, singer, songwriter, musician, and poet. Truly an amazing artist. Just some of the songs he wrote the words to: "Dark Star," "Box of Rain," "Truckin'," "Uncle John's Band," "Sugar Magnolia," "Ripple," and on and on, each one memorable and prizeworthy. AKA Robert Burns. Via Rolling Stone.
