Episode 116
As a very lucky adult, I have toured the US and Europe many times, singing and playing guitar for people. But in my younger years – when I was the handsome young man you see in this photo – the music I made was keyboard based.

Here's the TowerSummer Specials Schedule
SPECIAL
Every other Wednesday this summer, we’ll hear a complete season of Here’s the Tower in its entirety. In five special shows, we’ll take a whirlwind trip through 104 episodes totaling 3 1/2 hours of action-packed entertainment.
We’ll revisit the dozens of characters we’ve met, from the Dirty Statler Brothers to sportscaster Marty Klein to Tower’s sitcom girlfriend Debbie to the beloved Chattahoochee River Strangler.
We’ll relive all manner of big-dumb-jackassery and see just how far off the rails this experiment has gone since the first episode back in May 2018.
