Leon Berry Wants to Steal My Lunch Money


Or possibly do something more malevolent. I mean LOOK at that evil stare, a little mal de mer and he's ready to lead a road company of the Grinch who Stole Christmas.

He's like Harry Connick Jr.'s lecherous uncle. Those wacky men and their giant Wurlitzers. Aaah, I got nothing here, stop the carousel, I wanna get off.

It's like "I plan on taking over the world!!!! Right after I figure out how to get out of here......"

^LOL!!! Martooni!...

This vinyl is definitely full of associations... I don't know who's Harry Connick (Jr., Sr. or his uncle), but this Leon Barry reminds me greatly of Herbert von Karajan in his youth...
"Wurlitzer" reminds me of "Brave New World" (A. Huxley)...
But the reason why I will download it, is supposedly this: "a study in HIGH FIDELITY sound"... (Yes! some verbalisms like these get round me...)

Hooked on Stereophonic has about 5 Leon Berry Albums. The sinister looking Mr. Berry put a theater organ in his basement, and one of HOS's incompletes is one called The Beast in the Basement. Warpage kept them from including The Pacific Electric Trolley Waltz, but I snagged a band version (CA 1906) from YouTube. A Trolley Waltz?!? Hey, blessings on the internet! Always giving you gifts you knew nothing about!
