Dance of the Cuckoos - Laurel & Hardy Theme
Laurel and Hardy...never surpassed..why?..because,like, a lot, of, Comic Actors..they, took,
Their,Acting,seriously....[You ,can ,see,most, of, the Scenes,in, this,Vid, repeated, in,other,Movies,
time, and,again, 'Ear Biting', etc, in,Tarantino's, 'Resevoir dogs', or, 'The Coens,Movies..etc..]..
I,was, listening, to, the Radio, last night, about, the, up-coming, Oscar, Ceremony, in,February..
seems, that, Sylvester Stallone, is, getting, rave reviews, for, His, new, Movie, 'Creed'...
and, is, in,line, for, a Best Actor, Award...[He, already,has, an,Oscar, forWriting, a Screenplay]..
Sylvester, put, His, faith, in, a young,Scriptwriter..to revive, His, Career...and,I'm, betting,
that, He,gets, the Pay-Off..
The comedy team of Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy did win an Academy Award for best short subject, comedy for their 1932 short film “The Music Box” but that went to the film's producer Hal Roach. Laurel also received an honorary Oscar in 1961 after Hardy's death but together or apart they were never nominated.
maybe, the Cuckoo, waltzed?..right over, the nest...

Saigon 2015
eight, more, weeks..and, I'm,going, there!..
Giác Lâm Pagoda (Vietnamese: Chùa Giác Lâm; chữ Hán: 覺林寺, Giác Lâm tự) is a historic Buddhist pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in Vietnam. Built in 1744, it is one of the oldest temples in the city. It was officially listed as a historical site by the Vietnamese Department of Culture on November 16, 1988 under Decision 1288 VH/QD.[1] The pagoda is located at 118 Lạc Long Quân, in the 23rd ward of Tân Bình district, in the Phú Thọ Hòa region of the city.[1] It stands on Cẩm Sơn, and is also known as Cẩm Đệm and Sơn Can.
It was built by Lý Thụy Long, a native of Minh Hương, in the spring of 1744, i.e., during the season of the Vietnamese new year, during the reign of Nguyễn Phúc Khoát of the Nguyễn Lords, then the ruling family of southern Vietnam. The history chronicles of Gia Định, the then name of the settlement that later became Saigon and then Ho Chi Minh City, written by Trịnh Hoài Đức describes the area as being quite undeveloped at the time, with dense foliage resembling a jungle. The area was surrounded by flower gardens. In its formative years, the temple was a gathering place during the Tết new year and the temple was a scenic lookout on a hill overlooking the Gia Định markets.[1]
In 1772, Thích Viên Quang of the Lâm tế Zen lineage arrive to become the abbot of the temple. From then on, the temple was known by its current name of Giac Lam

THE DEER KING
Not far away, another herd of deer was watched over by another golden deer named Branch. In the tall grass and shadows of the deep forest, the two herds lived in peace.
One day, the King of Benares was out on a hunt and spied the beautiful green forest where the deer lived. "What a perfect hunting ground!" he declared and into the forests he dashed with his thousands of hunters and came upon the two herds of deer. Without a moment's hesitation, he notched an arrow in his bow. Suddenly he spotted the two golden deer. Never had he seen such beautiful creatures! "From this day on," he commanded, "No one is to harm or kill these golden deer."
Thereafter, he came to the forest everyday and killed more deer than was needed for his dinner table. As the weeks went by, many deer were wounded and died in great pain.
Finally Banyan Deer called the two herds together, "Friends, we know there is no escape from death, but this needless killing can be prevented. Let the deer take turns going to the chopping block, one day from my herd and the next day from Branch's herd."
All the deer agreed. Each day the deer whose turn it was went to the chopping block on the edge of the forest and laid its head upon the block.
One day, the turn fell to a pregnant doe from Branch's herd. She went to Branch Deer and begged, "Grant that I be passed over until after my fawn is born. Then I will gladly take my turn."
Branch Deer replied, "It is your turn. You must go."
In despair, the poor doe went to Banyan Deer and explained her plight. He gently said, "Go rest in peace. I will put your turn upon another." The deer king went and laid his golden head upon the chopping block. A deep silence fell in the forest.
When the king of Benares came and saw the golden deer ready for sacrifice, his heart skipped a beat, "You are the leader of the herd," he exclaimed, "You should be the last to die!" Banyan Deer explained how he had come to save the life of the doe.
A tear rolled down the cheek of the king. "Golden Deer King," he exclaimed. "Among men and beasts, I have not seen one with such compassion. Arise! I spare both your life and hers.
"So we will be safe. But what shall the rest of the deer do?" "Their lives I shall also spare." "So the deer will be safe, but what will the other four-footed animals do?" "From now on they too will be safe." "And what of the birds?" "I will spare their lives." "And the fish in the water" "The fish shall be spared- all creatures of the land, sea, and sky will be free."
Having saved the lives of all creatures, the golden deer raised his head from the chopping block and returned to the forest.

China Crisis - "Wishful Thinking"
Liverpool [Kirkby] Group,from,'79, I,wonder, what, happened, to Them?..
Monday 16 November 2015
NORTHERN SOUL - CHARADES - 'THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS'
The MGM CHARADES were formed with a different line-up when the original
1950/60's Doo-wop group, who had planned a comeback, were reluctant to
sign a new contract. This prompted the record label to work with a
mysterious new act based in New York.
However, when soul singer DeanCourtney moved from RCA records to MGM,
he mentioned that John T MacJunior had been running The Charades. The same group may be linked with the Charades that recorded 'You're With Me All The Way'/'Power Of Love'
on the Mercury label in 1965 -both sides written by J. Mack.
Robert Pruter's 'Chicago Soul' book, explains that only a few Chicago acts in the 60's appeared on Mercury.
Theproducer credited on the label is Tom Wilson -best known for his work
in the 1960s with Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Simon and Garfunkel and The
Velvet Underground. Arranged and conducted by Horace Ott.
The Charades recorded two 45's for MGM Records;
'Key To My Happiness/'Weeping Cup' (66) written by Robert Gerald Maxwell
'I Don't Want To Lose You'/'Never Set Me Free' (66) written by Maxwell flip Rhodes-Casey
'Can'tMake It Without You'/'Love Of My Life' also recorded by the Charades
(Okeh Records) 1964 -arranged and conducted by Horace Ott.
'YouBetter Believe It'/'Darling Believe Him' also by the Charades (Harlem
Hitparade) Woodbury, New York 1973. Distributed by Pickwick Records,
this is a much earlier recording -again, written by Horace Ott.
"From the very first bars of the piano and drums this is Northern Soul at its
very best, with heart pleading vocals, accompanied by tight group
harmonies and brass. 'Keys To My Happiness' just gets better as it goes
along. Perfect for dancing to."
As far back as 1973, the Charades track was being featured at the Pendulum Club in Manchester.

NORTHERN SOUL - THE TEMPESTS - 'SOMEDAY'
TEMPESTS hailed from, or around, Charlotte, North Carolina. The groupwas first set up by two brothers Mike and Roger Bunch. In 1968, "Would
You Believe!" album was released on the Smash label, a subsidiary of
Mercury records.
At the time of this release, the Tempests consistedof ten members. The leader singer and co-songwriter of 'Someday' wasHazel Martin Jr. (1936-2008). He had a powerful and distinctive voice,
described by some with "an unforgettable, honey-soaked voice".
'Someday',and other tracks featured on the album, became highly sought after in
the early 1980's on the Northern-Rare Soul scene.
The track was featuredregularly on DJ Guy Hennigan's top twenty at Top of the World,
Stafford. Initial plays of the record in 1983 required the traditional
practice of 'covering-up'. Consequently, the artist was introduced for a
brief time as 'Bobby Paris!'The Tempests also figured prominently in the Carolina Beach scene.

ARMISTICE DAY
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.

BOB KANE,JEWISH INVENTOR,OF, BATMAN
Early life and work
Robert Kahn was born in New York City, New York. His parents, Augusta and Herman Kahn, an engraver,[1] were of Eastern European Jewish descent.[2] A high school friend of fellow cartoonist and future Spirit creator Will Eisner,[3] Robert Kahn graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School and then legally changed his name to Bob Kane.[4] He studied art at Cooper Union before "joining the Max Fleischer Studio as a trainee animator in 1934".[5]Comics
He entered the comics field two years later, in 1936, freelancing original material to editor Jerry Iger's comic book Wow, What A Magazine!, including his first pencil and ink work on the serial Hiram Hick.[6] The following year, Kane began to work at Iger's subsequent studio, Eisner & Iger, which was one of the first comic book "packagers" that produced comics on demand for publishers entering the new medium during its late-1930s and 1940s Golden Age. Among his work there was the funny animal feature "Peter Pupp" — which belied its look with overtones of "mystery and menace"[6] — published in the U.K. comic magazine Wags and reprinted in Fiction House's Jumbo comics. Kane also produced work through Eisner & Iger for two of the companies that would later merge to form DC Comics, including the humor features "Ginger Snap" in More Fun Comics, "Oscar the Gumshoe" for Detective Comics, and "Professor Doolittle" for Adventure Comics. For that last title he went on to do his first adventure strip, "Rusty and his Pals".Batman
Detective Comics #27 (May 1939). The first appearance of Batman. Art by Bob Kane.
Bill Finger joined Bob Kane's nascent studio in 1938. An aspiring writer and part-time shoe salesperson, he had met Kane at a party, and Kane later offered him a job ghost writing the strips Rusty and Clip Carson.[9][10] He recalled that Kane
...had an idea for a character called 'Batman', and he'd like me to see the drawings. I went over to Kane's, and he had drawn a character who looked very much like Superman with kind of ... reddish tights, I believe, with boots ... no gloves, no gauntlets ... with a small domino mask, swinging on a rope. He had two stiff wings that were sticking out, looking like bat wings. And under it was a big sign ... BATMAN.[10]
[WIKPEDIA]..
KANE, IS, BATMAN.
[SEE MY OTHER BLOGGER]..KANE, THE CITIZEN?..OF?...
GOT HAM CITY...HAHAHA!
KANE,CLAIMED,IT,WAS, HIS, IDEA...BUT....
THE FAMOUS, 'MOON-MEN', HOAX,OF, THE 19TH CENTURY...?
Edgar Allan Poe claimed the story was a plagiarism of his earlier work The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall. His editor at the time was Richard Adams Locke. He later published "The Balloon-Hoax" in the same newspaper.
