I just heard that Tom Magliozzi, the older of Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers has passed away. Though not a musician, he was one of the most entertaining people I ever heard. Car Talk has been a weekend staple for me for many years. I suspect there are others around here who share my addiction.

May The Four Winds Blow You Safely Home.

Very sad. Sunday morning listening to their show was always fun. Infectious laugh echoes on . . .

A brilliant man. Yesterday I heard Terry Groce ask Doug Berman if Tom & Ray had trouble being that funny week after week; he said no - becasue that's how they were every minute of every day.
The Lovely & Charming Mrs. Cowboy is not a car person, and would not miss them if she had a choice.
And theme music by David Grisman - how could you go wrong?
We'll miss you, Clack!

Will, Missem, & Howe.

My dad used to take our cars to their garage back in the day. They were hilarious long before the radio show ever started.

On Saturday, Ray did a tribute show to Tom and their mom was featured. Now we know where he got that famous laugh!
