Mal Sharpe, RIP -- March 15, 2020

Mal Sharpe has died.  I have know his voice my whole life.  I remember a little bit of Coyle and Sharpe, and Mal solo on many television programs.  I used to park in a lot where Mal tried to get people to let him leave his ostrich in their cars.  I listened to his Sunday night show on KCSM, "Back on Basin Street," for many years.

Farewell to Back on Basin Street -- March 26, 2012

I was getting ready for bed last night and I turned on KCSM.  Sunday nights I always look forward to Mal Sharpe's program Back on Basin Street.  Last night he said that he was doing his last show.  I'm sad.  I've been listening to the show since he replaced Jazzbeaux.  He played a Coyle and Sharpe routine, the DIY operation, saying that was the last time anyone on KCSM would play Coyle and Sharpe "expect maybe Alisa Clancy."  I went to sleep before the show was over, so I missed Jimmy Durante singing "Goodnight, Mrs Calabash."
