A Wild Hare

Morning earworm: Back in NYC, Genesis. It eventually segued into Hairless Heart, just like on the album.

Gorgeous weather abounds. Even got a bit of naked hammock time in yesterday, partly just to be able to say I've done it in March - lol. Current prediction is that we'll be in the 80°s for the next few days. Sweet.

So, another April Fool's Day is upon us. Everyone run down to BK and get your free left-handed Whopper. I will be celebrating more privately here at home, with a listen to one of my favorite cd's - Bugs Bunny on Broadway. This is not a gag - google it or check it out on amazon. Those of sufficient age or interest in the history of animation are aware that those old Looney Tune cartoons we grew up with on Saturday morning are actually much older, and were originally made for theatrical release. Somebody at Warner Bros. decided that a new generation needed to appreciate these as they were meant to be seen and heard, and conceived of this show - brand new prints made of the original films, accompanied not by the recorded music but by a live orchestra, playing from Carl Stalling's original scores. Even just having the audio, this is epic. Stalling was an unheralded genius, and hearing his work in full glorious digital stereo reveals the depth of his brilliance as never before. And it is still hysterically funny, too - Kill the Wab-bit, kill the wab-bit ... =))
