When you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s hard to know when you’re finished. – Tommy Smothers
Born on February 2, 1937, at the Fort Jay army post hospital on Governors Island in New York City, a bundle of joy named Thomas B. Smothers III, or Tommy as he would later be known, came into the world. Little did anyone know that this baby would grow up to be a comedic legend and a passionate advocate for peace. Tommy was the son of Ruth (née Remick), a homemaker; and Major Thomas B. Smothers, an U.S. army officer who died a POW, of the Japanese, in April 1945.
Good morning sun, I say it’s good to see you shinin’
I know my baby brought you to me
She kissed me yesterday hello your silver linin’
Got spring and summer runnin’ through me
As a record collector, I went out and hunted down a lot of my favorites but obviously came nowhere near getting them all. These are some of the favorites that I didn’t own at the time.
