RIP... Bob Elliott, (on the right), one half of the great radio comedy team "Bob & Ray" has died at the age of 92. If you don't know them, they worked in the '50's, '60's and '70's and they were great heroes of mine and many others. I will feature some of their incredibly classic comedy bits on my new Podcast that will be up right here tomorrow, along with special guest Tom DeLisle.
