Brian, You should hear a guy in Oz called Bob Downe. He is a lounge singer from the 70’s – beautifully recreated by Mark Trevorrow

PS: tnx for your great work 🙂
Richard Cheese is the King! I’ve been and always will be a loyal fan of his. Thank you, Brian, for doing this show.
Cheeze is the Whiz!
I actually just downloaded a bunch of his songs from my emusic account; cheaper than iTunes…
Great stuff Brian, though no “baby got back”, that I know Mr C has performed live? Taking nothing away from the fabulous (other) Mr C, Richard C’s version also rockswings!!
But hey, who’s complaining…onward and upward to 200…

Wow, great episode. I had never even heard of Richard Cheese before, but now I’m hooked. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
Nice work, Brian! Great music and a great interview. Definately an interesting guy…hilarious that he doesn’t care about the truth. Who needs the truth when comedy is at stake.
Oh dear… I note that Rhapsody’s list of RC’s influences lists… Paul Anka. Anka, of course, wrote the lyrics “I did it his way.”
one of the best shows so far…. really amusing interview. thanks.
