Spring has sprung!
Not that you’d know it around here.
It has snowed at my house the last two days
and there’s supposed to be several inches
of the white stuff coming tomorrow.
This is more of a hopeful “Get it over with!” thing.
As with all of the seasons I have a favorite piece
that I like to open it up with.
Spring is always going to be the immortal Tom Lehrer.
Yes, the fully orchestrated version, anything else
would be a cry for help.
I got silly, I was taken with the notion of Winter finally
going away and allowing all those wonderful black flies
and mosquitoes to return in full regalia.
Maybe silly isn’t the word…insane would be more like it.
A wonderful piece by Stan Freberg and Daws Butler.
Out of all the folks that have done voice work over the
years I would have to say that Mr. Butler was the most
versatile, it amazes me that he was capable of so many
different speech patterns and accents with no two
sounding alike, definitely right up there with the best.
And he was correct, there was no party.
And C is most definitely for Cookie!
Da Vinci’s Notebook is/was awesome.
Walter loves his gravy.
Daniel Tosh is still one of the best stand-up comedians ever.
