I got a complaint about the cylinder that opens this seg as being too noisy - you be the jusge. I guess the best thing about a 2 minute cylinder is that it only lasts two minutes. A bunch of 1920s dance band stuff follows, including the love theme from the silent film "The Man Who Laughs," featuring Conrad Veidt - in the photo - whose visage, as you can surmise, inspired the character of The Joker in the Batman comic strip. There's early Benny Goodman, early Glenn Miller, early Three Suns, a pumpin' groove by Italian film composer Claudio Simonetti and just plain weirdness from France's team of Gainsbourg and Columbier. A nice, early morning set lasting exactly 40 minutes.
