What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Buck Privates (1941) I'd forgotten how much fun Abbott & Costello's first movie was. TCM got hold of an unusually good print. The peacetime draftee atmosphere of "sham battles," flimsy-looking light tanks, and everybody but the Andrews Sisters in a smokey hat is quaint now - but livened up by...- Fletch

If you could live/move anywhere right now, where would it be? Why?
I just visited St. Paul. Looks like my kinda town (and not just because we're both named for the same cranky letter-writer).- Fletch

Tasso Update! Macy*s has the Natural color trousers again - on sale for $29.98. They're offered as separates with a conservative 2B jacket this time out, but they match the Natural beltback (with the usual caveat that dye lots will vary - mine might be 2% darker than the jacket, and who'll... -
What are you listening to?
Happy Feet - Willie Lewis' Negro Band, 1941. The last American musicians to leave Europe - I kid you not! Maybe a tick or two behind the times - they still sound more like Fletcher Henderson than Count Basie. But I don't mind. Everybody Loves My Girl - Four Aristocrats, 1927. Have I got an act... -

Bow tie neat or imperfect?
There's also the matter of overcoming the popular stereotype. Especially with a bow tie, being too neat implies that you're wound up tight and playing a role, just like our pal Pee-wee. A better model might be Daniel Boorstin, the historian and public intellectual. Altho he seems at a quick...- Fletch

swingin' '34 Primitive - Luis Russell & Orch., August. Rube Bloom wrote a piano novelty which Russell made into a stylish bit of modernism for his band (shortly to become Louis Armstrong's). Albert Nicholas' clarinet, Bingie Madison's tenor and Rex Stewart's cornet contribute. How's About... -

Unpopular music opinions
Hi, I'm Fletch and I have problems with over-the-top show singers. (Hi Fletch!) It's kinda tough on me personally, because I am waaay into the pre-WW2 dance band sound, which does not have much of a community of its own. It's mostly a secondary interest for show music fans. These often express... -
