The Novelty Connection

(New shows added June 2010). The Novelty Connection was a 30-minute show, hosted by this web site's editor, that played comedy songs and sketches by a variety of artists. The show initially aired in an extended-length format during summer 1988, and then ran in a 30-minute format from fall 1988 through spring 1990. Only a few of the shows are available. These archives are from tapes of the original live on-air broadcasts. Several of them are originally from the collection of Alex Weirich, whom we will always greatly miss.
