I was really sad when I heard about this. I've enjoyed the Smothers Brothers since I was a kid and found my parents' records of them. "Mom Always Liked You Best," falling into a vat of Chocolate, Streets of Laredo, My Old Man, John Henry, Crabs Walk Sidways, Pretoria, etc, etc. If you have never watched them before, look up a few of these.

I was fortunate enough to see them in person when they performed in our city about a decade ago.

Did they ever do just a straight music album? That would have been great. Streets of Laredo starts off so beautifully.

EDIT: Here, I'll help you out:
