Gerard Hoffnung - Letters from Tyrolean Landlords A year before he died - 33 years old - not not inebriated, not premature old age just his affected persona of an eccentric!
I heard this on Dr demento back in like 75. Fell in love with it along with bricklayers lament. My uncle Paul knew him and had a few records. It blew uncle Paul's mind that demento was playing his buddy and I remebered him playing it. He's great Gerard.
HILARIOUS! Brilliant readings of letters written in English by foreign hotel landlords. There is no way you can keep a straight face. His timing is perfect!
Me to! It reminds me of long flights on British airways in the 1970s listening to the in-flight entertainment (audio only). Gerrard Hoffnung was one of the highlights of the comedy channel.
