A black & white World War II era political cartoon by Dr. Seuss: A banner that says, "The Great U.S. Side Show" Two men standing on a stage. One has "America First" written across his coat. The other has a big swastika on his vest. They both have long white beards which are attached to each other in the middle. Below is a carnival barker (who kind of looks like Uncle Sam). He is using a cane to point to the men on stage & he is using a bullhorn to talk to a crowd that's gathered around. The text says: "And on this platform, folks, those most perplexing people... the Lads with the Siamese Beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds of the land!"

I love the sound of brass (obviously). Listening to a baritone saxophone solo in a Newen Afrobeat song today, I thought, “That sounds like a cool frog with a pack-a-day habit reading beat poetry.”
It was a total blast! Thanks for being there. I’m still humming the tunes from last night.
