“Sing It Again, Sam!”  The inimitable song stylings of Sam Sacks  Arliss Records  For those unfamiliar with the wonder of WFMU’s Beware of the Blog let this be a welcome introduction.  Go to BOTB and listen to Sam’s fantastically awful mauling of standards.  A private recording on par with the best of the worst from Mrs. Miller, Lucia Pamela and Florence Foster Jenkins.  I gotta find a copy!

Emil Nargi IS Elvis  “It’s Now or Never”  There are so many records by Elvis impersonators you can’t imagine.  Each one stranger than the last.  Emil looks like he could be one of the little dolls or porceline statuettes that my Grandma Loretta kept in a glass case.
