The other one - he carried a knife because they stop at rest stops and they're a guy and they've got a big car full of women's clothes, for God's sake. I t sort of shook Pooch up, because he carried a gun, only because he was on the road in his car and whatever. I asked if I could go out, like I usually did, into the lobby after the show was over and sign autographs for the fans and meet the people and take their names, put them on the mailing list and all that kind of stuff. Called the police, I have no idea what happened. I never knew who he was, there were no apologies, I don't know if they took him away or if they just got rid of him. I was on the men's side, I was on the women's side, it was very androgynous as far as where I was coming from with the comedy. I said, 'Am I going to get out of here or am I going to have to fight my way out?'' He said, 'Ah, you're not worth it.' I said, 'Really, I 'm not,' (laughs). I said, 'Christ, are you crazy? You I talians don't know what to do with it, you gotta put it everywhere.' And I started being Rusty and tried to get him with the jokes. I 'm clever with the repartee on stage and I to be idiot broad in the backroom with the guy exposing himself? I said, 'What? Are you gonna do something with that? I t's ridiculous looking.' His whole thing went flat again. For some reason I had to be in his office and without hello goodbye it was Z I P! I said, 'WHAT ARE YOU DO I NG?' I am so stupid. I t was funny because I was in the back room and his wife was at the register. Kliph Nesteroff: I read that you did a show once in the Midwest and a club manager exposed himself to you? I turned over and looked at him and I said, 'Do you really want to fuck up a million dollars for a lousy twenty minutes?' Well, he said, 'Ah, I guess not.' Yeah, I said, 'Put it down,' (laughs).

we're here aren't we?' Don't forget I made a lot of money that year. He just laid there and all of a sudden he says, 'Why don't we. He says, 'You mind if I flop down here?' 'Yeah, whatever.' It was a big massive suite so I didn't pay any attention to him. We stayed over at Jerry's suite and he comes walking into the bedroom, God bless him. and we were in New York and I was about to fly off to Europe to treat myself because I had just won a big award. We were in New York and I won the Female Comedy Album of the Year, the same year that Vaughn Meader for album. He came out of nowhere and said, 'You'll find him interesting.' I nteresting? Shit, I gotta watch myself with that guy. Big guy, balding, big blue eyes and a New York salesman, honey. Kliph Nesteroff: What kind of a guy was Jerry Blaine? and get their boobies up and that was how it was born. I had a great Italian boss who loved to march, so I a march and. We went somewhere else, on a Midwest tour and I came up with the March in Dayton, Ohio. just talking about it, but I didn't have the song written yet. We took those tapes, Stan looked at them, and he sent them to Jerry. Remember that? Double wheels? I did the weekend shows. We went in the liquor room and plugged into the sound system with an AmPex tape machine.

Songs For Sinners was the one we did at The Pomp Room. people would come in the door and I built an act around it. Rusty Warren: (laughs) You want the story? I was in Phoenix, Arizona. Kliph Nesteroff: So, how did they find out about you? Kliph Nesteroff: Had you recorded your nightclub act prior to Jubilee Records?
