Unfortunately some slight skipping at the beginning and some in the first minute of side two. Luckily all it does is interrupt the rhythm and flow.

===============================
The Geezinslaws Are Alive (And Well?)
Recorded on-stage at the Performing Arts Theater at the Hemisfair in San
Antonio, Texas
THE GEEZINSLAWS ARE ALIVE AND WELL. You might argue with that statement if you know what a Geezinslaw is, but if you're not quite sure, here's a short description: Geezinslaws originated in Snook, Texas (really!), however, they may be seen anywhere in the United States (via popular radio and TV programs). As far as research indicates, Geezinslaws come in pairs, couples, duos, twos, spans yokes or teams. They are likely to migrate across country, often stopping at nightclubs, fairs and concert halls. They attract large crowds who spend evening upon evening observing the highly amusing communication methods of the species.
Here, you'll be initiated, if 'til now you've somehow missed it, into the unhinged, delirious, mad as a March hare world of the Geezinslaws. The Geezinslaw Brothers are the slap-happiest comedy team since Martin and Lewis, but with this difference-they approach the comedic art with tongues-in-cheeks and a sly wink of the eye. According to them, their hometown of Snook got tired of hearing the Geezinslaw story of how its main street had to be widened before a white line could be painted down the middle of it. The town asked the Geezinslaws to stop telling that one because it had become a prosperous community-the townspeople expected to have their own Edsel dealer within the month!
Not only are they singularly hilarious (wait'll you hear what a Phillip's Screwdriver really is!), but the Geezinslaws are packed to the gills with musical talent-instrumental and vocal. Sam, the top banana, plays the mandolin while Son, the straighter than straight man, strums his way along on guitar. Both solo equally as well as they duo. So come along now and enjoy the Geezinslaws in their natural state-of Texas, live at the Performing Arts Theater, but first this testimonial…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
…Having been known to occasionally try to tell a story, I have to be nuts to keep using Sam and Son on shows, because when they finish with an audience, the audience is completely rung out with laughter. So, why do I keep doing so? Because on every show they have ever worked with me, I have always been standing in the wings enjoying them more than anybody does!
May I say, whether on my show or any other show, if you ever have the opportunity to watch these boys in person, by all means do so. And if you don't forget the cares of the day during the minutes the Geezinslaws are on, I'll eat my hat. In this album you will find a generous helping of the brand of knee-slapping humor and wit that [illegible].
And, Sam and Son, you are so good, so [illegible], and so funny, that I assure you… YOU'LL NEVER WORK WITH ME AGAIN!!!
