Author Peter Stoddard Produces CD of Lewis Grizzard Humor Few Have Heard Since 1981

In 1981 Ronald Reagan had just been elected, and the Georgia Bulldogs had just won a National Championship. Politically incorrect as always, Lewis delivers edgy stories that still resonate. - January 03, 2021 - Stoddard Media
