Our tribute to Les Blank was an unqualified delight.  Blank’s films unfurled in all their majesty; and his sons Harrod and Beau were on hand to provide commentary and to answer questions.  Our thanks to all who attended.

You can see a rare photographic portrait of me, enjoying my edition of Alphonse Allais’s How I Became an Idiot, over at the Black Scat site.  If you forgot to buy a copy for some reason, you can still correct the mistake.

There will be a student recital at the Jalopy Theater this Friday, the 16th, at 6 pm.  If you show up, you can see my uke student Ellie bring down the house.  Jalopy is still at 315 Columbia St., in Brooklyn.
