	📖 4:03pm Mr Fab: Oscar Brand had a long series of “bawdy” (that is: dirty) song albums that are lots of fun.
	4:06pm Sem: I remember Oscar Brand's show "Let's Sing Out" on CBC television when I was but a spratt. Very earnest---and I guess the "blue" materials never made it to broadcast

	4:53pm spacebrother: ↳ WR @4:51 He's always seemed ancient to me, but if you're under 20, everyone older than 30 is. He certainly had ancient opinions for the time.
	📖 4:53pm WR: ↳ spacebrother @4:46 I cannot decipher the humanoid figure in that patch. Some Aztec god of Thunder and Lightening? ???
	4:54pm spacebrother: ↳ WR @4:53 Japanese god of thunder and lightning.
