“Winchester Cathedral” by the New Vaudeville Band in August, 1966 was an early British throwback to the old music halls. There were other notable musical tributes to the bygone era’s sound.
By Neil Innes from February, 1968.
By Paul McCartney from November, 1968.
By Freddie Mercury from November, 1975
Joe Pera doesn’t scream at his audiences and, as far as we know, he doesn’t jerk off in front of other comedians.
I try to sustain a mostly buoyant tone in my posts, but I’ve been grappling with a difficult and stressful personal situation. Fifty years ago, during the craziness of adjusting to college life, I bought a record of Gregorian Chants. Listening to it on headphones helped to calm my nerves, so I’m going to give it a try today. Track 9, “College Runt”, is a favorite. 😉
When fully restored, I’ll follow that up with this musical meditation. See? Buoyancy!

The Star Trek Tour in Ticonderoga, NY, is the gold standard in the accurate, faithfully detailed reproduction of the sets as seen in the original series. To get official approval from CBS to operate as a tourist attraction, James Cawley agreed to stop creating new episodes. Other Trek TOS devotees have their own fan fiction videos.
An outstanding example of the masterful classic illustrative style of cartooning that I appreciate so much, as seen in the best soap opera strips. The challenge of how to make drawings of people sitting and talking look visually interesting. The inking seems to have been mostly done in pen, then a brush was used to touch up and add black areas.
Note to MIH: Neal Adams was a pen inker. He tried using a brush for line work, but never got the hang of it and gave up.
