The Night of the living duck: The final Looney Tune short to feature Mel Blanc
Swan song Mel Blanc has been described as the man with a thousand voices because he lent his vocal cords to a majority of the animated shorts that have thrilled us for many generations. His final short was a 6 minute Merrie Melodies offering titled "The Night of the living duck" which paled in comparison to previous work from Blanc. This is Blanc's swan song whether we like it or not. Some Baby Boomers have said that it seems as if the cartoon shorts and other work by Mel Blanc has been dummied down over the decades and lost some of the original magic.

Gordon Lightfoot music threads my needle
The first time I heard a song by Gordon Lightfoot it was "If you could read my mind which was released in 1970. I listened to the tune on an eight tract tape player on the school bus in 1971. I was 13 and in the eighth grade and thought this was one of the most mellow, songs I had ever heard and it always made me feel relaxed. We had a 45 minute drive to and from the junior high school and listening to the music was a way to pass the time.
