Who's On First


This isn't a song, but it's for you Ethan.  This was Grandpa Tom's favorite comedy bit of all time.  Since baseball is your life, you may have seen this before.  The comedians are Abbott and Costello, a comedy team from the 1940's and 50's I think.  They were in a lot of funny movies back then, and this bit is from one of those movies.  Grandpa Tom first showed me this bit when I was about your age Ethan, and way back in those olden days, we didn't have DVR's, Netflix, or even a VCR.  So when the movie was playing on TV, Grandpa would yell, "Steve! Hurry up, 'Who's on First' is going to be on," and I'd run to the TV to watch it with him.  He knew every word of this bit.  So anytime you're watching this, it's not only funny, but it's kind of like hanging out with grandpa, too.
