Saturday Funky Solutions (019)

Let's jump straight into the answers to yesterday's Friday Fun & Games:

While scoring, remember to note how many points correct answers are worth in each section.

*(Whiteman's was the first to popularize jazz in 1924; but that was at the Aeolian Hall. Maybe Dad remembers!)
**(Kenny was an MJQ'er; Conneie succeeded him on the skins ... Who's Tony Jackson? A noted 88'er of the New Orleans school. (No relation to MJQ vibist Milt))
***(Louie took some highly publicized blasts at bop, but the distinguished author of this one was Condon ... and, tis said (why disbelieve it), he immediately proved his point!)
****(now, you do get it, don't you?)
*****(no, not Father O'Connor!)

The footnotes above are a part of the original answers in the magazine. The (1959) by the answer to #4 in the first section reflects their own acknowledgement that the answer was "as of this date, that is" and the number might be higher for them now.

Have you totaled your points?
Let's see how much better you scored than i did:

I cannot even claim to be Oblong. (Maybe oblong with an equatorial bulge)
So tragically eligible for hermitage.

This quiz comes from the same place as the final ad (for the Gartier Watch) in yesterday's Ad-On Post, the May '59 issue of The Dude. Almost 60 years ago, but they had a fair lock on modern life today for their cover image:

Sure, the tech isn't timely, but if they're on the phone to each other (ages before even radio-telephones were a thing in cars) as it seems, it really is a fairly prescient cover.

Hunting Season

November is here, as noted earlier, and hunting season is in full swing sixty-one years ago. (I've mentioned my relationship with time is kind of loopy, right?)

To mark the season, we turn to Professor Tom Lehrer, a most noteworthy social educator. For the unfamiliar heathenry, other songs from our delightful maestro include The Masochism Tango and The Vatican Rag, classics & personal faves both, and many others.

The Dude brought in Jim Davis to illustrate their presentation of Prof. Lehrer's words and music for The Hunting Song:

The Hunting Song
by Prof. Tom Lehrer

I always will remember,
'Twas a year ago November,
I went out to hunt some deer
on a morning bright and clear.
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow -
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

I was in no mood to trifle,
I took down my trusty rifle
and went out to stalk my prey.
What a haul I made that day!
I tied them to my fender and I drome them home somehow -
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

The Law was very firm, it
took away my permit,
the worst punishment I ever endured.
It turned out the was a reason,
cows were out of season,
and one of the hunters wasn't insured.

People ask me how I do it,
and I say there's nothing to it.
You just stand there looking cute,
and when something moves, you shoot!
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now -
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a purebred Guernsey cow.

Jim Davis banner art was savaged in the presentation above, so here's the original page layout for your perusal:

We'll definitely have to come back to The Dude again. Not only did they pair Davis & Lehrer as we've seen here, but you might have noticed some names on the cover tucked up the corner there. Top of the list is D.H. Lawrence, who provided a social essay:

and hidden in the back unannounced was new fiction from Harlan Ellison:

Most certainly worth a return visit, don't you think?
