It would seem Karen and Red advertised records of their act for sale and available after their show ended.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-91514045136133710582016-08-02T21:38:59.451-07:002016-08-02T21:38:59.451-07:00I may have a little tid bit of interest.

I recently went through all of my father's old records (some of which were inherited by his parents and late cousin, both long time Vegas residents), and found a copy of a Karen and Coffee LP, Live At Sahara Tahoe. Here's a link to the discogs.com listing, https://www.discogs.com/Karen-Coffee-Live-At-Sahara-Tahoe/release/8841635<br /><br />I haven't been able to find any information on this record, though I would assume it came out in the 60's. A rare piece of comedic history, perhaps?bqad720https://www.blogger.com/profile/05698273240777443741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-11165257503017762162013-05-18T08:10:29.213-07:002013-05-18T08:10:29.213-07:00Great investigative work, Yowp...You live up to yo...Great investigative work, Yowp...You live up to your name.

Given the timing of the arrest and when the case would have wound though court in Los Angeles, I wonder if Hanna-Barbera may have gone with Weldon as the voice for their new regular series simply because they and/or Kellogg's didn't want any potential <i>"Kids cartoon voice was busted for drug possession"</i> stories getting out and about.<br /><br />Also, that exit off Interstate 20 going into Abilene is still there, and it's still kind of tricky -- it's a left exit onto the old highway which then merges with traffic off of the south side service road. No surprise that world be the scene of Coffman's accident.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
