Author, drummer, urban wit. #AT40 regular. Letterman writer, 1991-2015, Adrianne Tolsch husband 1990-2016. That will always be my best credit.
Normally not one of these guys, but this was too good on too many levels (especially for a former classics major turned RPI hockey writer for the Albany Times-Union)
Since Casey mentioned him, here's my favorite shot of Brando, who once said, "I live in my cat's house...." #AT40
"Draggin the Line" was on Tommy James second solo album, "Christian of the World." The cover of his first, "Tommy James," which came out September 1970, was done by my late wife, pre-comic then artist Adrianne Tolsch.... #AT40
Was racking my brain when I saw those pants last. Finally, it came to me.... #AT40
June, 1971. Editorial staff of grade school magazine. 5-1, 88 pounds. Ladies, as always, don't all bid at once.... #AT40
#AT40 #DirkWilbury #StayClassy (From 4 months ago....?) Album cover: DIRK WILBURY: OFF THE DRAPES....
RIP, @dirkwilbury.bsky.social. Remember: Life is finite, but grief is infinite because the connection is eternal. You will always be the heartbeat of #AT40
I feel compelled to add a couple days later, he's crutching into the Southern Cross Hotel as I am leaving (probably to go to the track). He stops me and says, "Broadway Show League? Improv? You doubled off me three years ago to beat my team...." #AT40
Hah! I think he was listed on crawl as "Bruce Kirby Jr." His father was longtime TV character actor Bruce Kirby. #AT40
My only 1978 shot, from the sports desk at my college daily (where, unbeknowst to me, I would occasionally share a press box with @santorinidreaming.bsky.social). The other guy, Bob Grady, went from lying down in front of police cars protesting Apartheid to working in Bush I White House.... #AT40
Just arrived. I know people are weighing in about "Almost Summer," but it was the perfectly awful theme song to a delightfully awful movie featuring Tim Matheson, Didi Cohn, Bruno Kirby among others.... #AT40
I'm sorry I missed Obama Appreciation Day on Sunday. I would have posted this....
I'd rather think about @dirkwilbury.bsky.social than listen to Paul doing his solo nonsense.... #AT40
Another story from Fall 1976 that I've told before: Thought I had bought Tower of Power "Live and In Living Color," but when I brought it back to the dorm, Reprise had stuffed in this.... #AT40
I absolutely wore out "I'll Be Good To You" in Quincy House D-5 fall of sophomore year.... #AT40
My longtime boss (with buddy and fellow comic Jeff Altman) as part of troupe for "Starland Vocal Band" summer replacement show, 1977. #AT40
August 1960, working summer gig as my brother John's chauffeur, rocking the Yale swag 15 years before I would go to the other side.... #AT40
Knicks ars 86-47 at MSG since Tracy Morgan yakked on floor in 2025. Your move, Rangers!
Hey @gingersnapstn.bsky.social, I don't want to tell you your business, but how about.... #AT40 #MrJanuary
Hey, @dirkwilbury.bsky.social, I found another album cover, from 1995: DIRK WILBURY: RELEASE PAR-TAY! #AT40
"Stay Awhile" makes "Playground In My Mind" look like "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing...." #AT40
We've seen it before, but #AT40 is the only place I can post such nonsense. Here is the 1971 Fessenden School varsity baseball team, having just completed a dominant 11-0 season. (2nd row, far right) I might have led the team in runs scored because I walked....a lot.
Maybe two months later in 1972, but you get it. Nice sleeve game.... #AT40
Not that anyone asked, but @thetruants.bsky.social destroyed The Triad last night. To be fair, we had a little help.... #AT40
