This week we have a few selections from newly purchased but most definitely not new recordings. I'm slowly purchasing on CD items I have on LPs. I have arbitrarily chosen some of my "favorites", most of which you can experience for yourself on YouTube. 1. Gnu Song - Flanders & Swann
2. The Hippopotamus Song - Flanders & Swann
3. Madeira, M'Dear - Flanders & Swann
4. The Vatican Rag - Tom Lehrer
5. The Elements Song - Tom Lehrer
6. National Brotherhood Week - Tom Lehrer
7. Smut - Tom Lehrer
8. Anna Russell Takes on Nabucco and The Magic Flute
9. McMoon: Like a Bird - Florence Foster Jenkins
10. Mozart: Die Zauberflöte, Queen of the Night - Florence Foster Jenkins
If you are unacquainted with any of the above, you have missed out on significant cultural educational opportunities. I have on DVD An Ill Wind by Flanders and Swann but not on iTunes. It is one of my alltime favorites.

Funny songs of the last century!
My dear friend Lizzie Leigh, of sacred memory, used to sing the Hippopotamus Song at her concerts for the benefit of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. I miss her and miss her singing that song!
