Sure of Surprises: Commercial Recordings of Unaccompanied Captive & Wild Birds from 78rpm Discs, 1913-36 (plus ca. 1949)
“War or no war, bird life is going on and even the armed powers of the
three dictators cannot prevent it. I would like to advise everybody in a
position to do so, to relax his nerves, in listening to the songs, now
so beautiful, of the birds. If one watches carefully, one can be sure of
surprises.”
-Ludwig Koch, May 13, 1940 London Times
Well, it one of those kind of nights. Not a blended malt Whiskey night, however, I'm going with gin & a bit of Vermouth with some ice to cool it down a tad. What do they call those things? Bernie Worrell
