sorry about that—too much Nostalgia from your old Quartermain—I used to be a DJ back in the late 1940s after getting out of the Navy then went into the music business at capitol records—hence the catalog of old songs.
Reminds me of Myron Cohen’s joke about the little girl who buys a donut from the bakery. She comes back and says she wants to return it because one of the raisins on the donut is actually a fly. The baker says fine just give me the fly and I’ll exchange it for an extra raisin.

Mmmmm…rice pudding. My mom used to make it, especially at Christmas. I doubt if I’ll ever have rice pudding again :-(
