It’s been a long-delayed project of mine to digitize some of my old vinyl. Things forgotten or things that never made it to CD — honestly, I don’t have a list of criteria, I just want to get started. So, armed with a cut-rate USB digitizer and a half-tank of gas, storage-wise, here I go.

This first one isn’t even the whole medley — it cuts off right before the big thunderclap. I think Ken Nordine is made of mahogany or Rich Corinthian Leather. The way The Voice gets fuller and richer as he ages (dude’s almost ninety!) is something we’re lucky to be alive to hear.

Hi Diddle Dee Dee (An Actor’s Life for Me)
