Probably not . . . after all, she's still waiting for her prince to come . . .

Remember Susan from way back? Well, she dumped her hubbie with his weenimobile fascination and found Mable -- who has other fascinations

The golden age of American Radio did not have to evade your Kingdom's Orwellian censorship via les doubles entrandre 😜 lol. Thank goodness! However befuddled Hollywood movies were with showing Gay people did not exist anywhere in the world, expect in mental institutions and prisons, American comedians on the airwaves were openly, teasingly -- perhaps one could say, lovingly -- riffing on queer men and women all the time. I was just listening to NBC's The Big Show while doing the dishes, a program that reveled in long-running jokes on the host's -- Tallulah Bankhead, darhling -- open, Bi nature. Like this, from Episode 21, broadcast on March 3rd, 1951: Tallulah Bankhead: "Men, again. All roads lead to men." Judy Holliday: "Yeah, so why'd you take a detour?" (Another gem I don't have time to look up the episode number and date has a jaw-dropping adlib by Bankhead about her marrying one of Eddie Cantor's five daughters. There is palpable shock that Tallulah went there, and after the laughter died down, Bob Hope adlibbed in reply: "Tallulah, why don't you get a crew cut [a clear Lesbian reference] so you can read the script." ) And the amount of references in the Jack Benny Program are mind-blowing. Like the time Jack got a letter from his doctor saying "Good news; you're not pregnant." Which turns out was for another patient. So, ten minutes later in the episode, Kenny Baker tells him "Good thing that letter wasn't for you." Jack Benny: "whoo. I know!" lol The queer content of American radio should be documented in a well-researched and cited book; it would make revealing reading and show in black and white that Gay people's lives were accepted far more readily that the people who use the "H-word" about us would ever want us to know

Yes, indeed, the first storage discs were indeed floppy. And much bigger than the hard-cased "floppies" that replaced them. These larger, original floppies I think emerged around the time IBM started loading MS programs on their consumer-grade personal computers, so that would be circa 1980 I guess. Correction: wiki says IBM brought out the original floppy in 1971!

The situation: The solution...?:

So you're saying those boys can READ?

Bortnyansky Choral Concerto a cappella No.10 (Psalm 47)

The video poster says this is a pianoforte, but it's a late 18th century clavichord, something very, very rarely heard on recordings. And this despite the fact that Old Man Bach wrote for this keyboard, preferring the dulcimer sound of it over both the piano and harpsichord (although you'd never know that with all the tangy harpisy recordings of his stuff made in the 20th century). Give a listen; it's very interesting
