Multi-Talented Comedian And Musician Jim Stafford
Back in the 1970s and 1980s, Jim Stafford made quite a name for himself with his comedic songs and impeccable musicianship.
A Wikipedia entry about him reports that he taught himself to play multiple instruments (guitar, fiddle, piano, banjo, organ and harmonica).
During that era Stafford achieved some radio pop-chart success with his tongue-in-cheek songs, 'Spiders & Snakes, 'My Girl Bill,' 'The Streak,' and 'Wildwood Weed.'
In 1975 Stafford had his own variety show — and through that decade and the 1980s he made numerous guest appearances on music specials and talk shows, including as a frequent guest on The Tonight Show. He also co-hosted Those Amazing Animals, and episodes of Nashville on the Road — and was the supervising writer for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour Revival Show in 1988.

While his star burned most brightly at that time — thanks to Al Gore's invention of the internet — more people are rediscovering his unique talent.
