JCM, if you can take over the morning threads, I won't micro-manage this time, by checking the night before.

And if anyone is willing to do pub threads, I'll explain how.

Then we need someone on the hosting account. Preferably someone who can fix tech problems, but eventually the hosting account will need to be renewed (a year from this upcoming December)

Don't want this site to disappear, and the way to do that is to have some other people capable of at least doing some of the work.

In particular, if the code is OK, the site does need to be paid for every so often - I'll keep it up, but you never know what can happen. Need someone on the hosting account to pay for it (annoying because the payment always gets flagged by credit card companies, as spammers use stolen credit cards to buy hosting and email accounts

Mickey Katz was originally with Spike Jones and the CIty Shickers, as he called them, due to their drinking.

JCM, over the next few days I'll give you the info to set up an alternate login for the hosting account, and give you some information about it.

I love the cacophony of Spike Jones; it takes immense skill to create that illusion, much like a skilled juggler who pretends to be clumsy.

It does. As for Shickers, they did have the reputation of consuming a lot. Which brings us to this number.

"Cocktails for Two" was introduced in the 1934 film "Murder at the Vanities"---one of the last of the pre-Code movies.  It celebrated the end of Prohibition.

I knew that. Fairly obvious from the lyrics, too, about no longer slinking, but drinking like civilized ladies and men.

Even pre-Code cartoons could be great - with Cab Calloway. This was voted the best cartoon of all time by the Cartoonists' Guild

Helps to know the background music; both "Please," and "Here Lies Love" are from Paramount's "The Big Broadcast" with Bing Crosby.

And, of course, "Tiger Rag" at the end.
