In this episode we are introduced to the superb comedy of Jon Dore, and the musical talent of the late Robin Williams. I call this episode "New Haven, The Birthplace of Valerie Velardi", who is my good friend and my connection to Robin Williams. And, if I can find her, you get to meet Harriet Macledermy.
