Crankin' It Up: Halloween Special




Moran and Mack were a comedy duo in the 1920's who don't get much play in our modern world. The only pictures I can find of them are with their faces made up with burnt cork, so they are generally ignored nowadays, but their jokes are still funny. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. stated that they told the funniest joke he ever heard, and if I don't receive too much flak over this record, I just may share my others with you someday. Anyway, this recording is a two sided routine titled: "The Two Black Crows In Hades." It was a lot of fun picking out photos for the slide show. It was difficult to record because of the loud noises maxing out the mike, but we got it. Happy Halloween!
