One Last Bloggerpalooza Note…
Before the
sweet memories of our recent blogger meetup fades from our memory, I want to share a moment from the golden days
of television comedy. This was prompted
by a recognition by one of the bloggers that my ape costume was a little tribute
to the Nairobi Trio. One of the other
bloggers wondered aloud, “Who is the Nairobi Trio?”
So, for JayinVA…this is the Nairobi Trio!

I had never heard of "The Nairobi trio". Very good!
RTG, this confirms what I've long suspected: you have lost your fucking mind. :-)
lol.......I had to laugh at Janey's comment! I agree with her but think it's lost in a most fabulous and zany way!!
Thank you, Nadege. Their creator (Ernie Kovacs) left us too soon.
Thank you Janey for your assessment of my psychoses. I hope to be fitted for a strait jacket any day now. :)
Thank Helena for your comment. I hope you enjoyed their show.
this is news to me as well; it is always lovely to learn new music.
Thanks for your comment, Spo. the tune itself is "Solfeggio" composed by a harpist, Robert Maxwell. He's better known for writing the songs, "Ebb Tide" and "Shangi-La". (As per Wikipedia.)
Ernie was a true comedic genius, a tv pioneer and sparked a lot of what you see on tv today-both types of comedy and actual comedians/comediennes working today....ok, just the "good" stuff you see.
Google his Gorilla Swan Lake ballet sometime.... lolz
