I greatly enjoyed listening to this. Thank you for sharing.

So it's been 102 years since the Stooges got their start with Ted Healin vaudeville. Three year later the boys picked up Larry in Chicago; Larry was offered $90 a week to join the act to get rid of his fiddle. The boy were also called Three Lost Souls. As Moe stated Shemp left the act to take the part of Knobby Walsh, but only because Shemp couldn't stand Healy's hard drinking. Curly joined the group, and his own hard drinking caused him to fall ill and suffered the stroke that ended his career. RIP boys.

Moe was an encyclopedia of knowledge and had an outstanding memory. A few years after this interview he was on The Mike Douglas Show, and i recommend any Stooge fan watch it. He made 3-4 appearances between about 72-74.
