Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle. While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000). Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.

Meet Ray Stevens, titan of comedy music for over 50 years, in this miniprogram. Starting as a teen rocker back in the 1950s, Ray's gift for witty novelty tunes soon became apparent -- and he rode that talent to top 40 radio with Gitarzan and The Streak, to his own wildly successful nightclub in Branson, and to a huge recording, publishing, performing and songwriting empire in Nashville. And he's still at it! As always, find extended cuts in the comments at laughtrackscomedy.com and thanks for sharing our shows.
