Miracle stain remover!
Carol and I were eating out last week. For dessert, Carol had a huge piece of peanut butter pie, covered in chocolate syrup. I helped, of course, and after I took a big bite I looked down and saw a dark stain on the leg of my olive green pants. I told Carol, she said leave it, and she’d put stain remover on it at home. But when we got home the stain was gone! Carol thinks it must have been only water, and not chocolate syrup, but I know better, because I believe in miracles!
ABC for Peanuts
The Daily Cartoonist reports that ABC-TV has signed a five-year contract to continue airing the Peanuts holiday specials. Which is good, because ten years after moving from CBS, I still need more time to get used to them being on ABC!

Recordings about Recording the Beatles
Not too long ago, I posted an item about the fascinating work in electronic music by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The Bob Moog Foundation has an excellent article called MoogHistory Unveiled: Brian Kehew Explores 1965 R.A. Moog Co. Electronic Music Workshop.
Brian Kehew is the co-author with Kevin Ryan of the book RTB: Recording the Beatles. Interviews with Kehew and Ryan about the book can be heard on Musicians Radio…
