A long time ago I posted something about the Scopitone video I love so much of Neil Sedaka’s “Calendar Girl.” More recently I posted a song by Nino Tempo & April Stevens. Here’s the brother-sister duo that’s like no other doin’ the jerk on Scopitone.

A QUESTion of Race
If “Race” Bannon is related to Steve Bannon, why does he look like Mike Pence? I’ll be taking in the Hanna-Barbera exhibit at the Norman Rockwell Museum to find out!
Denton Doctors
The finest sounding loudspeaker I have ever owned is the Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary Edition. Don’t be put off by the relatively small size of the cabinet and the 5-inch woofer. The cabinet is heavy and solid, with beautiful mahogany wood veneer — not cheap vinyl — on all sides, and bass response from the Kevlar woofer is excellent.
This is a warm, smooth and refined speaker, yet richly detailed and musically dynamic, in the best British mini-monitor tradition. The Denton is not ideal for a surround sound system, but for music it is magnificent, presenting an incredibly deep and wide sense of space. Adding a subwoofer is not only unnecessary, it would be a mistake, in my opinion.

Tonearmenia City in the Sky
What the heck will they think of next? This is a Kickstarter campaign. If it actually goes into production, the proposed cost of the Mag-Lev turntable will be $1500, which is reasonable, considering the novelty level, if nothing else.
