SUDS May-Nov 2010 Some of us here on the Ramp remember the olden-golden days of radio. Dramas, comedies, Jack Benny, The Shadow, Boston Blackie, and so on. It was an entirely different world then and with this program we try to take a step back to that time. This show is a “mufarmelcom,” a term I coined to represent a musical/farce/melodrama/comedy and it runs 33 minutes. Put your feet up, close your eyes and let us take you on the adventures of Dirk, a beer-truck delivery driver as he strives to actually rescue a damsel in distress. -Steve Adamczyk Suds was a collaborative effort and every person listed below played an important part.

I have often heard my grandparents talk about the good ole radio shows, I can see why they enjoyed them if they were anything like this!

This turned out better than I thought and was a hoot and was well worth the waiting and your forced rewrite, Steve.I'm still smiling at the thought of the two cold, blue, butts of pantiless Twinkle and Sidley no-drawers playing with his 'effects'.Well done everyone, especially you, Steve, for conceiving this fun frolic. ~ John

Good to see everyone is playing nicely together. Reminds me a little of Firesign Theatre. Some great cracks at musicians. Pretty interesting with some really funny sections. Enjoyed. Michael
Beeswing2010-11-13
wot a hoot!! It came out pretty well didn't it! I particularly enjoyed Dirk's Beer Truck Driving Man! All the actors did wonderfully well, and Mr Howarth's deft musical touch is apparent throughout. Well done to pantless sid for bringing it all together! ....and of course BIG congrats to Mr Porkbeli! Your creative drive is phenomenal!

Checked out first 10 minutes... so far, so good! I will be back for another taste of the later sections. This is certainly a COLOSSAL CoLLaB and wonderfully executed. Voted Fave. Cheers and Twangs! T-Bob

An aurora of creativity. Everyone did a stellar job on this. I was a little sad about the ending - Steve you have a dark sense of humor. Wonderful!!! Hats off to the entire cast and crew!!!
