EXTRASODE: “A Phone Call For Mr. Tompkins”
From The Paul F. Tompkins Show 10th Anniversary Special
10 March 2012
Brian Whalen is one of my oldest and dearest pals. I loved doing this sketch with him, inspired by his love of imitating George Harrison’s sitar songs.
Also, you might want to listen to this one more than once, because Eban Schletter goes reference crazy under the ramble before the sketch. I missed half of the stuff he played the first time, and I was there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANK YOU FOR THIS OLD YEAR.
As we celebrate the end of 2012 and the beginning of the… one after… that (math is not my strong suit) I would like to thank everyone who bought a ticket to a show, downloaded a podcast or purchased an album that I created this year. I am grateful to have nice fans and lucky that anyone pays attention to anything I do at all.
Here is a video from my final Largo show of 2012, and the last one, overall, for a while. I will be sharing more stuff like this with you from the considerable Paul F. Tompkins Show video archive as 2013 (now I get it; it’s like a series of numbers) unfolds. So go on and subscribe to my channel, should it please you.
On to the future. We’ll take a cup of kindness yet!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL.
I am grateful for and to all of you who support me creatively. I am fortunate indeed to get to do what I do for a living.
No matter who you are or where you are, even if you are not celebrating a day of thanks today, I thank you!
