In
contrast to the off-color humor of the Friars' roasts, White also
wrote and performed a more conservative comedy routine using one black
and one white glove while reciting his poem about equality between men.

In 1988, a mysterious album appeared in record stores. At first glance, Car Radio Jerome was full of silly nonsense with songs like “Upper Lip Of A Nostril Man,” “The Man With The Foldback Ears,” and “Hittite Hot Shot.” Listening to it though, one discovered darker undertones in songs like “White Woman,” which became downright ominous in “Car Radio Jerome.” By the time the album wrapped up, the “French Toast Man” was selling kids tasty goodies so rank that rats dragged it out of garbage pails and keeled over dead. In the last cut, a clinically depressed relative of Elvis croons his weepy ballad of woe “Pneumatic Eyes”—and blows himself up. The records ends with a hand grenade going off. Whether one loved, loathed or feared, everyone had more or less the same question: What kind of human being had perpetrated CarRadio Jerome? It was attributed to Fred Lane and the Hittite Hot Shots. But who were they? No one had ever heard of the group. They never toured, never made videos, never once appeared on Johnny Carson.In fact, the Reverend Fred Lane did make public appearances, though not many and none outside of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He first appeared at the Raudelunas Pataphysical Revue in 1975, a show mounted by Raudelunas, a group of artists in Tuscaloosa. The origins of their name is as obscure as those of Lane. According to Ron ‘Pate, the leader of the band the Debonairs which accompanied Lane at the Revue, “it was an Armenian family name meaning ‘moonlight’ or ‘worship of the moon as a deity.’”
Fred Lane was called upon to emcee the Pataphysical Revue, which was a stage show held on the opening night of an exhibit of Raudelunas art at the University of Alabama. He took the stage in a form that would soon be familiar to a few friends and aficionados, if not the country at large: a snap-brim fedora, sunglasses, cutaway tux, boxer shorts, pink socks, and wing-tip brogues, all accented by a few Band-Aids on his face. Lane, backed by Ron ‘Pate and the Debonairs, opened the show with a swinging cover of “My Kind of Town (Chicago Is).” After performances by the Blue Denim Deals Without the Sleeves, the Nubis Oxis Quarum doing the music of ancient Rome, the Captains of Industry all-appliance orchestra, and the world premier of Anne LeBaron’s “Concerto for Active Frogs,” Lane sang “Volare” to close the show. ~Full article

Bert Henry, stand-up comedian, is a man whose albums are difficult to find and whose humor is heard throughout the streets on an almost daily basis. There are no videos on You Tube and the advertisements for his 33 1/3 RPM Long Play Fax Records such as At the Hungry Thigh and In the Raw offer little education in the area of his life or career.
During the late 1950’s and early 60’s Henry established a clamoring audience that consisted of the average man and Hollywood entertainers who considered his bits to be wild and bold, which they were for their time: With routines about a cat of nine tails, sexual urges, a horse named My Dick ridden first by Jockey Strap (who falls off My Dick after the horse enters “a very dangerous position”) and then A. Crab (who nobody should “forget to put on their…scratch ticket.”) and (probably most noteably) a parrot who incessantly claims, "I know what you do!" and at the hatching of her eggs, it is discovered that what she does is have sexual intercourse with owls!
Henry, boasted by Fax records as a master of “Torrid tid-bits of sexopathic humor!” began his career in show business as a jitter-bug dancer in Cincinnati, Ohio. After earning acclaim for his performances on the USO circuit, Henry encountered an emergency when the record to which he and his wife danced went dead behind the stage wings. Henry stood before an audience of 2,000 in utter silence. He began adlibbing and, to his amazement, held them enthralled. After this, he “stooged” for a Burlesque Comic of Columbo’s in Philadelphia. After the Burlesque comic (kept anonymous even in the very few bios of Henry) became sick, Henry was sent up before the audience as headliner for the evening. Thus began his career as a solo act.
Those fortunate enough to own his records might remark on the superb timing of Bert Henry; of the charisma that "street jokers" lack which he brought to the stage and of how kindly he closed all of his shows by saying, "In show business you learn three things: You stand up to be seen, you speak loud to be heard and when you have an audience as nice as this, you sit down to be appreciated." All owners of his records (this owner included) may also find themselves outraged that, while his jokes live on in the voices of con's who steel material for a few jitters from their friends, the man who wrote them himself has faded away.
