Is anybody listening to Fablio right now? His reign of criminality continued unabated. He is the worst lead-in for Courtney, chasing away all listeners with good musical taste.

I leave the volume set at zero until 6pm. Otherwise the headaches would spoil my enjoyment of Courtney's program.

Fablio is playing a recording by a man who can't sing. He sounds like he's in pain. I know I am.

Courtney really chose "Gettin' Dirty Just Shakin' That Thing" over "Head Rag Hop"? This is not board of standards and practices approved material. He must be stopped!

@G@6:07, jeez, give us some time. We formed a bounty-hunting party for Irwin but some wiseacre directed us to an organic grass-fed pickle-flavored frozen-yogurt shop and now we're stuck there. You can't get liberal bounty hunters away from organic pickle fro-yo for *anything*. Well-played, friends of Irwin.

@Lolabelle: Check with Ub Iwerks' living relatives etc., duh. -- For years I told people there were missing James Joyce mss. from the 1910s-30s out there somewhere, because there were notebooks that covered part of a Ulysses episode but not the rest of it. So things that existed were clearly missing. People said I was crazy. But then dozens of items turned up in the closet of a relative of a Paris acquaintance of Joyce's, in whose closet they'd been sitting for decades after he "temporarily" left Paris in 1939, never to return. National Library of Ireland bought them for millions of euros, back around 2000. -- People often do not know what lost gem is taking up space in their garage.

A little bit of "Mysterious Mose" at the end.

This Flip the Frog motion picture soundtrack was a pivotal influence on Bernard Hermann. He told Courtney about it during a visit to the shanty years ago.

You know, Ms. Pancacke, I think I can hear a bit of "North by Northwest" in this.

Rudy tried putting the moves on Sophie Tucker in her dressing room while Courtney was out getting her a snack of brisket and knishes. When he came back, he slugged Rudy and knocked out four teeth. At least that's what Courtney told me. There are no photos. Sophie wouldn't talk.
