DESCRIPTION:
It was at Yale in 1958 that he and Robert Bryan cut the first Bert and I album and launched what is now a Maine icon. Marshall Mike Dodge stands undeniably as a godfather of Down East humor, bringing an energy and imagination to the stage that took him from a small Connecticut studio to his standing as the premier New England humorist of his era before he was tragically killed by a hit-and-run driver in H
Five Stars Happy with everything. Way Too Short! Back in the LP days, an album with less than 30 minutes of music or comedy (CONTENT is a such a dumb word to describe what we listen to, read, or watch) was not unusual; think back to the US version of Revolver by The Beatles. While Bert and I was funny, with dozens of very short bits, it ended way too soon, especially for listening in the car. It would have been better as a double LP on one CD..

. About the Author Marshall Mike Dodge stands undeniably as a godfather of Down East humor, bringing an energy and imagination to the stage that took him from a small Connecticut studio to his standing as the premier New England humorist of his era before he was tragically killed by a hit-and-run driver in Hawaii in 1982.

These three stories did not appear on the commercial album or were changed. Eventually, Dodge and Bryan recorded three more Bert and I albums together. More than fifty years later, their milestone album has been digitally remastered for this special CD edition, which also includes three bonus stories taken from the private ten-incher that preceded the first commercial record.

The two amateur storytellers soon recorded a short ten-inch album of eleven stories for friends and family, but ultimately pressed just a few hundred. The iconic Bert and I stories were first created by Yale University students Marshall Dodge and Robert Bryan in the late 1950s and performed around campus. They remain the godfathers of Down East humor.
