Happy Zappadan Day 13

We have more interviews today, I’m not sure how well known these ones are. I think that they are newly republished, and they are kinda fascinating.

I knew that Dick Cavett had a talk show, but I never saw it. He’s a sort of a mostly lost treasure, too, smart and funny (he was friends with Groucho, remains friends with Woody, and was one of Johnny Carson’s writers and a talent scout for The Tonight Show), but mostly smart.

    Another great post, and a peek into Frank’s mind. I’m old enough to remember Dick Cavett, soft spoken guy but a class act. The story of him playing Aynsley Dunbar’s drum kit(and not remembering)as Franks first meeting with him was priceless.
