SKIRBSCO

SKIRBSCO was;

Strong (as in Scott)
COmfort (as in Chuck)

Co-founder Scott was more in the creative "brain trust" department and not so much in the performance arm of the group. There was no HR department... it was the 70's.
It started as a few friends sharing funny stuff they had written with each other. Giving it a such a name seemed to lend it the air of a semi-secret society. Adolescents love that stuff.
When the decision was made to evolve into a performing comedy group, I was asked to join in since Scott didn't have much interest in that aspect of things. Roger and I were veterans of decades of "living room vaudeville" so I was a reasonable choice to fill out the group. Being a year younger than the others and a late addition made me feel a little like an outsider (hence the picture). I was known for a while as "Rogers Brother". I guess thinking that the niceness of others was an act was just a part of the High School caste system some took far too seriously.
We were a high school garage band with no music, only words. We performed skit comedy for our friends at parties. Parodies of Baretta, Starsky and Hutch (Husky & Starch), commercials in general and double entendres unusually subtle for High School aged males. Plastic guns, plastic handcuffs, even a plastic parrot served us well. Our "Big Show" was probably the 1977 Latin Club picnic;
Best...
Latin...
Club...
Picnic...
Ever.
Impressed? We were the highlight -even if our Globi commercial ran into technical difficulties.
I always saw Roger as the creative driving force. He wrote and directed most of what made it onto the stage. It was always a group effort though. No Yokos, bitter infighting, or nasty public feuds finding their way into the newspapers.
Thanks Rog, for letting me take that ride with you and your friends.
