New Eddie Carroll DVDs available
When Eddie Carroll passed away, a lot of people commented to me that they had been sorry that they could not have seen him perform. Now I am happy to say that there are two DVDs available which can help you enjoy and remember Eddie:
Jack Benny: Laughter in Bloom- It's here!
At long last! The complete video of Eddie's one-man performance as
Jack Benny. If you never saw it, or saw it many times and loved it,
you've got to have this DVD in your collection. Buy
it here.
Cincinnati Eddie Carroll Interview - Bob Burchett is
raising money for the Cincinnati Old Time Radio Nostalgia Convention by
selling a DVD of an hour and a half interview with Eddie Carroll from the
April 25, 2009 convention. You can get your copy for a donation of $15
by contacting Bob at 10280 Gunpowder Road, Florence, KY 41042.
Eddie Carroll: A Life in Bloom - When we knew
the end was near, Carolyn told me that she was going to have a life
celebration for Eddie about 4-6 weeks afterwards. She asked me to name
it. It didn't take me long to come up with "A Life in
Bloom". This is a DVD of that celebration, and features a host of
celebrities and friends, including Jamie Farr, Tom Kennedy, Wink Martindale,
Peter Marshall, and many more. Plus, it includes a number of clips of
Eddie performing. And oh yeah, I'm in there too. So is
"Brad from Georgia" for Forum frequenters. This disc is
available through the IJBFC video library.
