Mike Troubled Diva's Aunt Cyn mentions Flanders and Swann, and helpfully provides a link to Amazon. Before I clicked on the link, I had a distant memory slide in from the recesses of my mind and googled for Gerard Hoffnung. For some reason, they are indelibly linked in my mind, a distant memory of an autumnal Sunday post-lunch when my father played his F&S and Hoffnung records (vinyl? They were 78s...) and I devoured the cartoons from the bookcase with the glass doors.
Amazon helpfully tells us that people who bought Flanders and Swann also bought Hoffnung. So it's not just me.
I. will. not. commit. more.money. to. Amazon.
I take it you all know what 78s are...
