Why is Fuji Puzzle Box such an important public resource? Because I listen to ancient stand-up comedy albums so you don't have to. Luther Gehringer, aka Dopey Duncan, radio star of Allentown, Pennsylvania since the days of the WSAN Barn Dance in 1939, leader of the Sun Valley Serenaders, former hillbilly comedian, entertainer of the troops in WWII, star of the Melvyn Douglas show, leader of Dopey Duncan and His Melody Rangers, Dopey Duncan and His Top Hats, Dopey Duncan and His Tophands [sic], and Dopey Duncan and His Manhattan Trio, performs before a live audience at Walp's Restaurant in Allentown in 1963, before an audience of screaming-squealing patrons who like so many tragic Americans in the post-war period had never before heard a joke.
