    Jerry has as much cooth (kooth?) as a stick. What a colossal boor.On the other hand a 70s throwback folk singer is just inviting heckling. Heck, I’d heckle her too!

    Cooth? Kooth? probably couth, and that ear worm escaped in 1963.

    Mixed feelings. Sometimes listening to a “local talent” is like fingernails on a backboard. But I know I wouldn’t have the courage to put myself out there like that, talent or otherwise. But sometimes, puhleese!I also remember being in a bar in SFO in the early ’60’s—I think either the Purple Onion or the Hungry I—and hearing a young warm-up singer named Barbra something-or-other.

    why doesn’t he go outside if he doesn’t like the way she sings. I agree not everyone has a great voice but I don’t see anyone preventing him from leaving. lol

    I always try to find a little ray of sunshine in The Dinette Set. For instance, in this one, see the guy on the right giving Jerry the stink eye? That’s the performer’s boyfriend. In a few minute, Jerry will get up and go to the restroom. The boyfriend will follow. Jerry will later emerge, very much sadder but not a bit wiser.

    And after they get clear to the bottom of each, Burl will pull out his little jar of dried fruit flies, pop one into each glass… then create a ruckus and demanding each of them get a free replacement or two or three.

    why is Burl so rude about a person that he hopes they have no siblings. Seeing Burl and Joy we would all hope they had no children at all, but then we see Patty and it appears she has been able to crawl out of the Crustwood environment reasonable sane, Although we do not know the circumstances of her meeting Dr. John.

    There’s an arched eyebrow on the guy to Burl’s right, and it looks like he’s giving Burl a ‘lil evil-eye, sideways. Maybe he’s that singer’s boyfriend or older brother……..hmmmmmm

    Jerry is just exhibiting sour grapes. His rendition of Moon river, in the style of Joseph Pujol was not well received.
