Ron Davies, aka Ron Richtofen, actor, singer, upright bass player,
upright bagpipe player and guitarist; a man with more talent in his little
finger, than he has in his index finger. Many believe that his most likable
quality is his sense of personal humility, despite the fact that he
constantly whispers, “I am better than you.”

Harry: It was the Professor who captured Harry in the jungles of Africa
while on safari. What the Professor was doing in the jungle we do not know.
How Harry was able to sign on with a safari is anybody’s guess. Ever since,
The Professor has had to begrudgingly share a hotel room with Harry while
touring on the road. This is not permitted in many of the finest hotels
unless
the Professor passes Harry off as his wife. Often, this is candidly accepted
by hotel administration without an argument. This infuriates the Professor,
who secretly believes he could do better.
