Vice, corruption... sounds like a swinging place.

Even through all that beautiful surface noise, they do sound happy.

Mon. 12/22/08 12:16pm monica:

The Codger's an old coot but he's OUR old coot and we love him! Even though he's tight with a dollar and refused to tip the nice lady waitress at the Flamingo the other day. Told her to bet on Flossie's A Goner in the third race at Belmont or some such nonsense...

Mon. 12/22/08 12:21pm A lawyer:

I advise Liz Berg to plead Lox Nova Philadelphia - offer the judge a bagel and a schmear and hope for the best.

Mon. 12/22/08 12:27pm Sean Daily:

I recommend that Liz pull an Al Pacino in court: "YOU'RE out of ordah! YOU'RE out of ordah! This whole trial's out of ordah!"

Mon. 12/22/08 1:10pm S. Quentin Quale:

Mon. 12/22/08 1:24pm GP:

O.C. this is a wonderful show but how are we to know when to expect you next ( 1st time hearing this show). Do we just follow the car with the turn-signal for 30 minutes until it FINALLY decides to turn into the FMU parking lot?

A section of the ending of Dawn on the Desert by the John Kirby Orchestra (9:24 to 9:38 of this archive) has the same melody as the chorus of Henry Mancini's It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera) from The Pink Panther (http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=12705&archive=15844&starttime=2:02:52).

Wed. 1/7/09 3:38pm Ruy Silva:

Dr.Mr.Courtney,
I know you are a Codger, but I deeply think that the accrued effort would be minimum if you could post at least the year of each wonderful recording that you show. This is the first time I hear your program although it was a very long standing aspiration. I'm your most humble colleague from Listener Hour and from Brazil. Do put that damn year, Codger, please, so that we could evaluate the records even better. Anyway, what a hell of wonderful program I've just discovered and I've already downloaded a dozen of them.A hubba-hubba-hubba, mighty smoky over Tokyo, all those foolish things...
