Tom Capasso Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks Adrian (and everyone) !! While I am interested, we do get people that contact me asking about you. Getz and Willie are working on some material to update your "project" site (some of which you furnished during our chat). Details soon.

Luke73 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 ...yes it's true! I can confirm that Tom Capasso is a great guy I'm all the way over here in Australia, and Tom is in east meadow,NY,UNITED STATES. I get a PM one day from Tom asking if I played Ashdown gear... Yes I do! Turns out, Tom has an Ashdown T-Shirt that he wants to send me! Why? Just 'cause he's a nice guy. The T-Shirt arrived shortly after complete with a great CD of Tom and his Band Stonefly. Thanks Tom, you're the genuine article. http://www.myspace.com/twoshortrocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Brown Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Tom and I share a love (born of our almost identical old age, I guess) of '60s comic genius. (Go, Stan Freeburg!) He and I were chatting once, and I mourned that I had lost a couple of great old albums to damage, and hadn't listened in years. Within a few days, he had mailed me cassette copies of them. Maybe I shouldn't have told that story. Now I fear Tom will be inundated by requests to mail us his stuff! Anyway, he's indeed a great guy, and we're lucky to have him. Yep.

Flemtone Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yep, Tom is a great guy. Did you know he actually MET Stan Freberg a few times? He was interviewed by Freberg under Tom's stage-name at the time, The Abominable Snowman. Tom used his natural singing voice for the interview. ..funnily enough... Freberg = Capasso = Play. Just play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraub Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 After a couple of minor road trips and a lunch, I would say that, as absolutely funny as Stan Freberg is, that's how nice and cool Tom is. It's true. He's definitely about the nicest guy whose rental car I have thrown up on. Seriously, all the kids think Tom's a righteous dude. And, they're right.

Tom Capasso Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 To clarify, I sent DBB some old material by Allan Sherman. I really love that guy - in '63 he had a song that seemed to show how a couple got married, settled down, and grew older. It was really a song about how acronyms were taking over the language (in '62 !). While I'm not the packrat that some of my forebearers have been, my wife would be all too happy to satisfy requests for any of my "stuff". It's this community that makes us help each other. I've been "taken care of" much more than I've helped others here, including (but not limited to) free drinks, special custom made "Shecky" stickers (Pernax), amplifier loans (57pbass), and many other expressions of hospitality and extra effort.

And I still listen to it; I even have the package addressed in Tom's handwriting. And it is Stan "Freburg" (one E.) Private to bump: "Force of habit, I guess."

kenfxj Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Originally posted by Tom Capasso: I sent DBB some old material by Allan Sherman. When I was a kid we had a 45 of "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah (A Letter From Camp)". It would make me laugh so hard I could barely breathe. My mother was afraid I'd have an asthma attack and die, so I wasn't allowed to listen to it. My brother would play it for me when she wasn't around. I don't know if he was cool or if he was just trying to get rid of me. And Tom really is a very nice guy. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pernax Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 How about we play a little game, as seen on a few late night talk shows. It goes by the name of "What if they mated". Click on the smilies from left to right see the corresponding pictures. Here we go: + = Ok, that was just a practice run, let's try again! + = Now that the logic is clear, let's try the real deal! + = Wow! (up to 200 characters) You may use UBBCode in your signature.

wraub Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Pernax- That was truly the best Hallmark card I have ever seen. Until the last example. That one almost made me uncontrollably expectorate my beverage upon my CRT display. Luckily, my wife was in the room. Seriously, truly funny!

Dave Brown Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Originally posted by bumpcity: You know, either way man, as long as it swings. "Scooby-doo" "He's out of step with me, sir." You know Stan did BOTH of those characters himself? That Yankee Doodle sketch still stands up as one of the most inventive and funniest things ever written. It is every bit equal, and perhaps superior, to the "Dead Parrot" sketch. It's true. Anybody who is a fan of the "Stan Freburg Presents..." has every line, every note of every song memorized. Great cast, INCREDIBLE MUSIC ARRANGEMENT BY THE LATE BILLY MAYS and great writing. Yep. I'm the other voice in the head of davebrownbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
