Matt1: That’s outstanding
dave: good news, rush
Rush: Yes.
Rush: Hello, Dave!
mda19083: Lou – can your CD be purchased on your website?

Hawaii_Steve: Like Lou, I have a new CD coming out too. It’s called “Hawaii-Steve Can’t Sing a Note if his Life Depended Upon It.” I’m selling it out of the trunk of my car.
Rush: 🙂
dave: I have to say to you: Thank You So Much…
Rush: Steve, we could make that a duet!

Matt1: Hello M & R!
HonoluLou: Steve, too good. I’ll start with the 12 Days of Christmas by Maven (in her honor). MDA, it was, but they switched me to another site Bandzoogle and I’ve got to fix. However, if you just google “Never Before Lou Armagno” it’s for sale elsewhere. CDbaby.com & Barnes & Noble has it.

Rush: NICE!
Hawaii_Steve: Lou, speaking of your CD. Several years ago, I placed your CD in the Volvo player and it won’t come out. It just plays and plays and play. I cannot eject it.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey Dona!
HonoluLou: Rush, so you & Louise ARE making progress that is awesome!

Rush: I could think of worse, Steve…Starland Vocal Band…The Archies…?
Hawaii_Steve: Volvo makes $500.00 from me to eject your CD from my car. So Lou, old buddy, you’re always with me … on the road.
HonoluLou: Steve, look at the bright side…it could have been the Monkeys!
Hawaii_Steve: Aloha Mike & Rachel, and Dona.
mda19083: Lou – thanks for the update – I always like to support the site preferred by the artist

mda19083: enlightening but disturbing
Dona: I lost audio at the end
Matt1: Ok
Rush: Went silent for the last minute of so.

mda19083: NOT M and R – are you in competition with NOTHERE
NOT Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes, Dona. He wasn’t a dupe…he just had a flawed strategy. But the British ruling class was morbidly afraid of communism. THAT was the real enemy, or so they thought.

Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: Yes, Rush! February 1941 here last week!
Rush: In this film we see the Nazi swastika on planes. Not blotted out as in “Olympics.”
NOT Mike n Rachel in DC: This all sounds very brave, but France folded like a pair of 2s when the Germans really came.
dave: Real!
Nothere: Hello total strangers I do not kno.
Rich Maine: J. Romaine…famous for his salad
Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: VEERY interesting. Interesting to note the promo the Maginot Line was getting here, given what happened only months later.
Nothere: That happens hen t enemy igores your army, and takes your cities.
Rush: Yes, Mike. Especially because the Maginot Line, which France reloed upon, was ineffective.
Rush: (relied)
mda19083: nt is without his w tonight
Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: The Romaine people have always been signiferant.
NOT Mike n Rachel in DC: Well, the Maginot line worked…but the Germans went around it.

Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: Rush: We know the date on this is 1939—had the war started, as this was made?

Rush: Production on this film was in the summer of 1939.
Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: WHERE’S MY PIANO? I had it on me when i came in!
Nothere: I’m the butler madam not the footman.
Rush: I suspect, looking at the copyright date, that the ending was added.
Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: We must get this precisely.
dave: Makes sense, rush
Rush: By then the war had begun in Europe.
Hounder: ..
dave: The cross section of people…
Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: “I am a poultry man” means something, uh, different now.
Rush: Marcel.

dave: I noticed earlier this week this is a story about the City of Lights…the City of Darkness
Rush: True, Lou?
mda19083: he should have gotten out of the way
Rush: Yes, Dave?
Rush: No mask?
HonoluLou: He would be a good subject for the annual newsletter, hmmmm!
Rush: Not a good idea!
Angel Louis Stevenson+Fox: dave, the pun had never occurred to me: we are zo embarrassed! City of Light / Darkness!!
Nothere: Such a sneaky cop. Totally blends into the background
Rush: Yes, Lou!

Rich Maine: Looks like a 1 star hotel
