	12:16pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @12:13 That's the game.
	12:17pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @12:13 Yes, and there were complaints from the geezers because they had to bend down to pick up dust bunnies beacause the pick-up sticks were so small
	12:19pm Bas NL: Hi Tamar! Hi all!

	12:22pm TDK60: ↳ tim @12:20 Hello tim: That's Alison Kraus who played with Plant.
	12:22pm chresti: Hi Bas and Michael!
	12:22pm tim: Ooooooohhhhh. A-ha. I didn't take into account the accent. It could have been geyser.
	12:22pm northguineahills: magnetic fields!

	12:38pm TDK60: ↳ chresti @12:26 chresti hello \\//. I was looking at bureaucratic application stuff and almost fell asleep. So, I turned it up.
	12:39pm chresti: ↳ TDK60 @12:38 Good move.

	12:45pm Tamar: Howdy Threemoons and RevRabbit!
	12:46pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Tamar!! Great to see you here....
	12:46pm tim: ↳ Bas NL @12:27 Dankuwel, Bas!
	12:46pm TDK60: Threemoons: Wish I could help. Old-fashioned here, and use the paper ticket. In fact, I miss the old human ticket tellers, back there behind the bars with their cigar and Brooklyn accent. Y'know?
	12:48pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ TDK60 @12:46 LOL I guess so....
	12:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ TDK60 @12:46 The last time i rode one of those, they were probably still using tokens ...
	12:53pm doctorjazz: Hi Tamar and Thursday People!
	12:53pm Asheville Jon: man, i sure wish big blood would come south (further south than jersey city)
	12:55pm Tamar: Greetings, doctorjazz and Asheville Jon! The Big Blood show at Monty Hall is sold out (too bad for me).
	12:56pm Michael 98145: Should be a great show
	12:58pm Asheville Jon: howdy Tamar was hoping that fmu could have made some kind of paid webcast of the BB show available. oh well
	12:58pm TDK60: ↳ Asheville Jon @12:58 Hi A.John: Somebody should at least make a bootleg cassette.
	12:59pm Asheville Jon: ↳ TDK60 @12:58 on a tdk 60 cassette? :)
	1:06pm tim: ↳ Song: "Songs of the Humpback Whale" by "Humpback whales ... This is a good record!
	1:07pm TDK60: Esperanto took our DJ away-ay.

	1:12pm chresti: ↳ StringOFperils @1:07 Lol
	1:18pm tim: This set is whaley good!
	1:20pm tim: I really need more ELO records.
	1:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Evangenitals" by "Ahab's Leg" Like this a lot (sounds like a tune from a musical-I guess it could be)
	1:31pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Evangenitals" by "Ahab's Leg" Heh "evangenitals"
	1:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ chresti @1:31 Godnads
	1:32pm chresti: ↳ StringOFperils @1:31 😁

	1:36pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @1:07 Hi TDK60.
	1:37pm tim: I hope we get to when Queequeg is introduced. he's my favorite Moby Dick character.
	1:38pm Tamar: Hi Andrew! Tim, I love Queequeg too, and he'll show up later, kind of.
	1:39pm TDK60: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:36 Ahoy Andrew.
	1:41pm doctorjazz: Hi Andrew in Toronto!
	1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe Starbucks will have Coffeez for all ...I got DeathWishCoffeez tho...
	1:41pm chresti: Hi Andrewkins!
	1:43pm StringOFperils: ↳ tim @1:37 When Queequeg and Ishmael share a room before they sail, that section is amazing: the discussion of 'savagery' and belief and magic...and us
	1:44pm chris in the redwoods: well, that was a muggy and buggy walk. happy to return for the shanty.
	1:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:44 hi chris.
	1:47pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:10 I can’t even…. still not sure if friends are ok…
	1:48pm tim: ↳ StringOFperils @1:43 Yes! It's been quite a long time since I've read Moby Dick but I distinctly remember when I read that section that my interest went from "yeah, this book seems OK" to "wow! what did I just read!".
	1:48pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:47 ahoy, good Sir Andrew!
	1:50pm tim: Baritone saxomophone is a good instrument for a song about a whale.
	1:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Les Obsessions d'Achab" by "Fish from Hell" This is GREAT!!! (Fish from Hell indeed)
	1:53pm tim: ↳ Song: "Moby Dick" by "Led Zeppelin" Hahaha! I was wondering and hoping this would show up!
	1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Moby Dick" by "Led Zeppelin" ...ok - Bonzo playing with bare hands...
	1:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Moby Dick" by "Led Zeppelin" That boy could have a future as a geetar player...
	1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:47 <3
	1:58pm doctorjazz: Robbie Robertson passed away yesterday, RIP (big Band fan).
	2:00pm chris in the redwoods: the ‘Don!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blood and Thunder" by "Mastadon" Screamo vocals drive me crazy (younger daughter MollyJazz is a fan, have seen some Metal Bands with her).
	2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think I saw Mastodon. Drummer had sticks like an inch thick or some shot.
	2:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Greenland Whale Fisheries" by "The Pogues" These guys are/were GREAT!
	2:02pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ doctorjazz @2:01 yes!
	2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aren't they tho.
	2:03pm tim: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:01 The first time I saw the Melvins (in 1991), the drummer had sticks that looked like those little souvenir basball bats and a bass drum the sizze of a marching band bass srum.
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @2:03 Also heavies.
	2:07pm Hubig Pie: ↳ doctorjazz @2:01 How do you feel about death growl vocalizing ?
	2:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:07 Well, if you're on your death bed...
	2:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In Old Nantucket" by "Robert Longden & Hereward K... And there it is, Moby Dick, The Musical!
	2:09pm StringOFperils: This stuff shorts my circuits out. *sorry Bronwyn, I do try
	2:09pm tim: ↳ Song: "In Old Nantucket" by "Robert Longden & Hereward K... I have to say that I'm enjoying the Moby Dick musical much better than the musical numbers by cults that Micah sometimes plays on Music For Mind Control. ;)
	2:10pm tim: Oh, here comes Queequeg!
	2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ StringOFperils @2:09 It's an acquired taste (at least in my case-wife is Musical Theater obsessed, older daughter is a Musical Theater performer, I had to adjust)
	2:11pm chresti: ↳ StringOFperils @2:09 Same
	2:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ doctorjazz @2:10 I always appreciate its cleverness, but there's just something lacking in me I suppose
	2:14pm tim: ↳ StringOFperils @2:11 I'm not a musicals fan at all. I like this in context of today's show. Ordinally I avoid them.
	2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& when I say there is no cannibalism in the British Navy ...I do mean there is a certain amount...
	2:18pm tim: Yes! I LOVE Mountain!
	2:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ tim @2:18 Me too; Leslie Weinstein was a hero in my high school!
	2:20pm tim: ↳ doctorjazz @2:19 A man with a heart the size of his band name!
	2:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Taunta/Nantucket Sleighride" by "Mountain" Decades since last hearing this. Such cool guitar phrasing. Strangely, it's making me miss thos long-gone first 2 Blue Öyster Cult lps. It must all be parked on the same brain cell
	2:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Taunta/Nantucket Sleighride" by "Mountain" Quite some arranging (just a trio)!
	2:24pm StringOFperils: Pappalardi was a pretty talented guy
	2:27pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Whale Song" by "Pearl Jam" First time I listened to anything by Pearl Jam
	2:28pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @2:27 really? even i heard them on the radio (and I admit I had two of their albums)
	2:28pm tim: ↳ chresti @2:27 I think that's the first time I've knowlingly listened to Pearl Jam in 30 years.
	2:29pm tim: ↳ Song: "The Chase--First Day" by "Herman Melville Read by... Go Spartacus!
	2:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Whale Song" by "Pearl Jam" there, i've officially turned in my hipster card (est 2000, williamsburg, brooklyn, ny) for clicky starring Pearl Jam!
	2:32pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:28 what killed them for me, was that one of my freshman roommates in my dorm was PJ obsessive, and listened to nothing by PJ. (luckily, I had a partner, and rarely spent time in my room).
	2:34pm Funky16Corners: Good afternoon! Testify! Coming up at 3PM ET - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/130611
	2:35pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:29 I was going to go w/ "you damn dirty ape!"
	2:35pm chresti: Great set Tamar!
	2:37pm tim: That was super fun, Tamar! Thanks for putting it together.
	2:38pm northguineahills: if you want to learn about whales, watch, "The Extraordinary Attorney Woo" on Netflix. You'll never have to ask, 'cetacean, please'!
	2:38pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @2:32 I couldn't really handle their sound from the get go. The song Tamar played was OK.
	2:39pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @2:35 Hahaha!
	2:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ chresti @2:35 What chresti said!
	2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @2:30 And here I thought I LOST my hipster card because I know nothing of Pearl Jam's music...
	2:41pm chresti: The sea shantys are very much like Continental Subway's weekly Roud set, thanks Tamar!
	2:42pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:38 I got the Singles sndtrk a week after my 16th bday (the first album I bought). Pearl Jam's "10" would be the third (SP's "Gish" was my second)
	2:45pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thank you for this amazing set!
	2:46pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @2:41 there are traditions of sea shanties that fall under what musicologists would place under 'folk' moniker, so, it's perfect.(many folk bands (especially british) usually have quite a few sea shanties in their repertoire.
	2:47pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @2:42 I read a funny Mudhoney anecdote about the Singles soundtrack. the Singles sopundtrack went platinum. Mudhoney's major label debut sold 100,00 copies. The guys in Mudhoney decided that meant that there were 900,000 Singles soundtrack fans who did not like Mudhoney.
	2:48pm tim: ↳ Song: "Warning Sign" by "Talking Heads" Yes!!!!!
	2:49pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:47 I bought Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge based on Singles (and later on, many more mudhoney albums)
	2:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a creative and fantastic show!
	2:50pm doctorjazz: Just about the end of the Road Trip, much fun, thanks Tamar!
	2:52pm tim: Thanks for the great show today, Tamar!
	2:53pm chresti: ↳ Song: "When School Starts Again" by "Tony Perkins" Tony Perkins?!
	2:53pm MarciB: This has been such a great show and what a treat to hear Tamar again-here and on the mothership!
	2:53pm StringOFperils: Psycho prom, here I come!
	2:53pm chris in the redwoods: much fun was had, thanks, Tamar!
	2:53pm northguineahills: ack, it's almost three, nooooo! thanks Tamar, it's been a treat. come back so we can hear ya soon!
	2:55pm MarciB: @Tamar - thanks for the sea-focused set. We just got back from our annual visit to Martha's Vineyard and while we didn't see any whales, we did see a shark!
	2:55pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @2:53 that's the spirit!
	2:55pm StringOFperils: Crazy great show, Tamar; thanks!!
	2:57pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Clear Out of this World" by "Frances Faye" Danny Kaye's 2nd cousin
	2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY DJ Tamar ~
	3:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Tamar!

	12:13pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @12:12 isn't pick-up sticks that game where you have a pile of sticks and try to pick up sticks w/o disturbing the pile?
	12:16pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Strange Ballad" by "Junior Mint Prince" A strange ballad can easily make a comfy home at WFMU. Or, so I have heard.
	12:16pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @12:13 That's the game.
	12:17pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @12:13 Yes, and there were complaints from the geezers because they had to bend down to pick up dust bunnies beacause the pick-up sticks were so small
	12:19pm Bas NL: Hi Tamar! Hi all!

	12:22pm TDK60: ↳ tim @12:20 Hello tim: That's Alison Kraus who played with Plant.

	12:46pm tim: ↳ Bas NL @12:27 Dankuwel, Bas!
	12:46pm TDK60: Threemoons: Wish I could help. Old-fashioned here, and use the paper ticket. In fact, I miss the old human ticket tellers, back there behind the bars with their cigar and Brooklyn accent. Y'know?
	12:48pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ TDK60 @12:46 LOL I guess so....
	12:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ TDK60 @12:46 The last time i rode one of those, they were probably still using tokens ...
	12:53pm doctorjazz: Hi Tamar and Thursday People!
	12:53pm Asheville Jon: man, i sure wish big blood would come south (further south than jersey city)
	12:55pm Tamar: Greetings, doctorjazz and Asheville Jon! The Big Blood show at Monty Hall is sold out (too bad for me).
	12:56pm Michael 98145: Should be a great show
	12:58pm Asheville Jon: howdy Tamar was hoping that fmu could have made some kind of paid webcast of the BB show available. oh well
	12:58pm TDK60: ↳ Asheville Jon @12:58 Hi A.John: Somebody should at least make a bootleg cassette.
	12:59pm Asheville Jon: ↳ TDK60 @12:58 on a tdk 60 cassette? :)
	1:06pm tim: ↳ Song: "Songs of the Humpback Whale" by "Humpback whales ... This is a good record!

	1:20pm tim: I really need more ELO records.
	1:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Evangenitals" by "Ahab's Leg" Like this a lot (sounds like a tune from a musical-I guess it could be)
	1:31pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Evangenitals" by "Ahab's Leg" Heh "evangenitals"
	1:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ chresti @1:31 Godnads

	1:36pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @1:07 Hi TDK60.
	1:37pm tim: I hope we get to when Queequeg is introduced. he's my favorite Moby Dick character.
	1:38pm Tamar: Hi Andrew! Tim, I love Queequeg too, and he'll show up later, kind of.

	1:41pm doctorjazz: Hi Andrew in Toronto!
	1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe Starbucks will have Coffeez for all ...I got DeathWishCoffeez tho...
	1:41pm chresti: Hi Andrewkins!
	1:43pm StringOFperils: ↳ tim @1:37 When Queequeg and Ishmael share a room before they sail, that section is amazing: the discussion of 'savagery' and belief and magic...and us
	1:44pm chris in the redwoods: well, that was a muggy and buggy walk. happy to return for the shanty.
	1:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:44 hi chris.
	1:47pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:10 I can’t even…. still not sure if friends are ok…
	1:48pm tim: ↳ StringOFperils @1:43 Yes! It's been quite a long time since I've read Moby Dick but I distinctly remember when I read that section that my interest went from "yeah, this book seems OK" to "wow! what did I just read!".
	1:48pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:47 ahoy, good Sir Andrew!
	1:50pm tim: Baritone saxomophone is a good instrument for a song about a whale.
	1:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Les Obsessions d'Achab" by "Fish from Hell" This is GREAT!!! (Fish from Hell indeed)
	1:53pm tim: ↳ Song: "Moby Dick" by "Led Zeppelin" Hahaha! I was wondering and hoping this would show up!
	1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Moby Dick" by "Led Zeppelin" ...ok - Bonzo playing with bare hands...
	1:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Moby Dick" by "Led Zeppelin" That boy could have a future as a geetar player...
	1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:47 <3
	1:58pm doctorjazz: Robbie Robertson passed away yesterday, RIP (big Band fan).
	2:00pm chris in the redwoods: the ‘Don!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blood and Thunder" by "Mastadon" Screamo vocals drive me crazy (younger daughter MollyJazz is a fan, have seen some Metal Bands with her).
	2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Think I saw Mastodon. Drummer had sticks like an inch thick or some shot.
	2:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Greenland Whale Fisheries" by "The Pogues" These guys are/were GREAT!
	2:02pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ doctorjazz @2:01 yes!
	2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aren't they tho.
	2:03pm tim: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:01 The first time I saw the Melvins (in 1991), the drummer had sticks that looked like those little souvenir basball bats and a bass drum the sizze of a marching band bass srum.
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @2:03 Also heavies.
	2:07pm Hubig Pie: ↳ doctorjazz @2:01 How do you feel about death growl vocalizing ?
	2:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:07 Well, if you're on your death bed...
	2:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In Old Nantucket" by "Robert Longden & Hereward K... And there it is, Moby Dick, The Musical!
	2:09pm StringOFperils: This stuff shorts my circuits out. *sorry Bronwyn, I do try
	2:09pm tim: ↳ Song: "In Old Nantucket" by "Robert Longden & Hereward K... I have to say that I'm enjoying the Moby Dick musical much better than the musical numbers by cults that Micah sometimes plays on Music For Mind Control. ;)
	2:10pm tim: Oh, here comes Queequeg!
	2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ StringOFperils @2:09 It's an acquired taste (at least in my case-wife is Musical Theater obsessed, older daughter is a Musical Theater performer, I had to adjust)
	2:11pm chresti: ↳ StringOFperils @2:09 Same
	2:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ doctorjazz @2:10 I always appreciate its cleverness, but there's just something lacking in me I suppose
	2:14pm tim: ↳ StringOFperils @2:11 I'm not a musicals fan at all. I like this in context of today's show. Ordinally I avoid them.
	2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& when I say there is no cannibalism in the British Navy ...I do mean there is a certain amount...
	2:18pm tim: Yes! I LOVE Mountain!
	2:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ tim @2:18 Me too; Leslie Weinstein was a hero in my high school!
	2:20pm tim: ↳ doctorjazz @2:19 A man with a heart the size of his band name!
	2:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Taunta/Nantucket Sleighride" by "Mountain" Decades since last hearing this. Such cool guitar phrasing. Strangely, it's making me miss thos long-gone first 2 Blue Öyster Cult lps. It must all be parked on the same brain cell
	2:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Taunta/Nantucket Sleighride" by "Mountain" Quite some arranging (just a trio)!
	2:24pm StringOFperils: Pappalardi was a pretty talented guy
	2:27pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Whale Song" by "Pearl Jam" First time I listened to anything by Pearl Jam
	2:28pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @2:27 really? even i heard them on the radio (and I admit I had two of their albums)
	2:28pm tim: ↳ chresti @2:27 I think that's the first time I've knowlingly listened to Pearl Jam in 30 years.
	2:29pm tim: ↳ Song: "The Chase--First Day" by "Herman Melville Read by... Go Spartacus!
	2:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Whale Song" by "Pearl Jam" there, i've officially turned in my hipster card (est 2000, williamsburg, brooklyn, ny) for clicky starring Pearl Jam!
	2:32pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:28 what killed them for me, was that one of my freshman roommates in my dorm was PJ obsessive, and listened to nothing by PJ. (luckily, I had a partner, and rarely spent time in my room).
	2:34pm Funky16Corners: Good afternoon! Testify! Coming up at 3PM ET - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/130611
	2:35pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:29 I was going to go w/ "you damn dirty ape!"
	2:35pm chresti: Great set Tamar!
	2:37pm tim: That was super fun, Tamar! Thanks for putting it together.
	2:38pm northguineahills: if you want to learn about whales, watch, "The Extraordinary Attorney Woo" on Netflix. You'll never have to ask, 'cetacean, please'!
	2:38pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @2:32 I couldn't really handle their sound from the get go. The song Tamar played was OK.
	2:39pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @2:35 Hahaha!
	2:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ chresti @2:35 What chresti said!
	2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @2:30 And here I thought I LOST my hipster card because I know nothing of Pearl Jam's music...
	2:41pm chresti: The sea shantys are very much like Continental Subway's weekly Roud set, thanks Tamar!
	2:42pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:38 I got the Singles sndtrk a week after my 16th bday (the first album I bought). Pearl Jam's "10" would be the third (SP's "Gish" was my second)
	2:45pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thank you for this amazing set!
	2:46pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @2:41 there are traditions of sea shanties that fall under what musicologists would place under 'folk' moniker, so, it's perfect.(many folk bands (especially british) usually have quite a few sea shanties in their repertoire.
	2:47pm tim: ↳ northguineahills @2:42 I read a funny Mudhoney anecdote about the Singles soundtrack. the Singles sopundtrack went platinum. Mudhoney's major label debut sold 100,00 copies. The guys in Mudhoney decided that meant that there were 900,000 Singles soundtrack fans who did not like Mudhoney.
	2:48pm tim: ↳ Song: "Warning Sign" by "Talking Heads" Yes!!!!!
	2:49pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @2:47 I bought Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge based on Singles (and later on, many more mudhoney albums)
	2:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a creative and fantastic show!
	2:50pm doctorjazz: Just about the end of the Road Trip, much fun, thanks Tamar!
	2:52pm tim: Thanks for the great show today, Tamar!
	2:53pm chresti: ↳ Song: "When School Starts Again" by "Tony Perkins" Tony Perkins?!
	2:53pm MarciB: This has been such a great show and what a treat to hear Tamar again-here and on the mothership!
	2:53pm StringOFperils: Psycho prom, here I come!
	2:53pm chris in the redwoods: much fun was had, thanks, Tamar!
	2:53pm northguineahills: ack, it's almost three, nooooo! thanks Tamar, it's been a treat. come back so we can hear ya soon!
	2:55pm MarciB: @Tamar - thanks for the sea-focused set. We just got back from our annual visit to Martha's Vineyard and while we didn't see any whales, we did see a shark!
	2:55pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @2:53 that's the spirit!
	2:55pm StringOFperils: Crazy great show, Tamar; thanks!!
	2:57pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Clear Out of this World" by "Frances Faye" Danny Kaye's 2nd cousin
