Here's the ultimate stocking stuffer that's uniquely Maine

[Old and In the Way]

A "Best of Dick Stacey's Country Jamboree"! No joke...this was better than Saturday Night Live back when it was a regular late Saturday night local program up here in the Bangor area. Of course, you had to be in the right head to truly appreciate it. Before American Idol, there was Dick Stacey and his Jamboree. Hopefully, they have Dick's commercials featuring his motel and his gas station. "See these hands? These hands pump gas, so you don't have to..."

3. Stacey's was also HUGE in the Canadian Maritimes

Friends in Newfoundland still rave about it...

And, I remember one night when a bunch of drunken UMO students tried to sing "My Ding-a-ling". Stacey went ape shit and literally thew them off camera.
