This one was suggested by my longtime pal, Russell Myers. Russell draws the wonderful comic strip, Broom-Hilda, which can be read online on this page. But he didn't suggest you read his strip. That's my suggestion. What he suggested is that I favor you with the following Spike Jones clip. It runs almost eight minutes but, hey, you have nothing better to do for the next eight minutes. So sit back, click and watch as Spike — wearing one of his more conservative outfits — conducts "The Poet and Peasant Overture." The funny guy with the banjo is Freddie Morgan and of course, you'll all recognize Jim Backus…
