457. More "Herb"

So when I made that 1986 Super Bowl commercials entry a few months back, I wanted to touch more on Herb, but needed the extra time to obsessively flip through old newspapers online. I did it.

When these cryptic ads began to pop up in papers in November of 1985, people named Herb who owned money to let's say, mob bosses began to get weary.

Of course, the parodies and jokes began to roll out:

It is still too early to tell whether Herb is doing for Burger King what Shamu has done for Sea World. But one thing is sure -- other chain restaurants are intent on stealing some of Herb's thunder. Signs at Wendy's and Ponderosa Steak House outlets in Central Florida proclaim that Herb is too busy eating in those places to appear at Burger King. Pizza Hut, in celebration of last week's National Pizza Week and to promote its new delivery service in this market, distributed pizza boxes containing a flier that read: "Herb won't be eating burgers this week either." There has even been a sighting of a trailer sign in front of a local Presbyterian church with the message: "Man does not live by bread alone, Herb." Perhaps to fend off the exploitation of its campaign by rivals, Burger King will finally unveil Herb this week. He will surface Tuesday morning on NBC's Today show. 1

I had to re-read this article several times to understand it.

And of course, people stole the cardboard cutouts of Herb that were in every Burger King.

I wanted to find newspaper articles about people finding Herb in their town-after all, he visited every state and parts of Canada. That was harder than I thought it would be! Turns out, sometimes, the local paper din't care or didn't know that Herb had arrived, I guess. I mean, before Herb made his super bowl debut, articles began popping up wondering if people would even care once Herb showed his face.

Also, I wasn't aware that Herb showed up on Today before the commercial. How dare he!

People in York, Pennsylvania seemed annoyed by the campaign:

Also, people who were named Herb (ok, maybe one or two people) were upset, which is really stupid:

Boy, you are 32 years old, you have bigger fish to fry than to be upset over a commercial. Also, don't remind people about Herbert Hoover. He was a terrible president.

Then, there was a guy in Colorado who looked an awful lot like Herb:

Someone got mad that he wore glasses?

Suffolk News Herald, March 12, 1986

and of course, the boomer jokes.

Little kids did a program for old people where they parodied old commercials. A kid attempted to dress like Herb!

In Schuykill County, Pennsylvania, kids dressed like Herb for a contest! You're right, Kelly, Herb is funny.

Herb even made a yearbook or two.

Alright, alright, so Herb hits the road!

(these aren't in order)

Kansas - Levenworth

Maryland - Baltimore

Nevada - Reno

Arizona - Tempe

(also an interview with Herb! Jon Menick stays in character though the interview! Just a lil guy from Wisconsin!)

Mmm! Wisconsin couldn't make their mind up whether they were proud or embarrassed by Herb:

(also, Wisconsin - Milwaukee)

Pennsylvania - unknown

Herb visited Gimbel's department store in Pittsburgh.

He also showed up at an American Heart Association fundraiser while in Pennsylvania.??

Montana - Bozeman

Hawaii - Hilo

North Carolina - Charlotte

Utah - West Valley City

Mississippi - Biloxi

This Herb sighting kind of bummed me out. The winner would go to the same Burger King six or seven times a day for two months. That's redic.

Florida - Lake Worth

Ohio - [Grove City?]

Illinois - Chicago

(the Gary from the commercial! )

I thought, `Hey! That looks like Herb!' " said the 24-year-old Franklin Park bachelor. Like the rest of us, Sirotzke has been inundated lately with teasers about Madison Avenue's ultimate nebbish, billed as the only American never to have set lips on a Whopper. "So I went up and asked him, and all this happened." 2

Rhode Island - [Providence?]

]

A giggly, glossy-faced fellow with thinning hair and horn-rimmed glasses, [Herb] hiked up his pant leg to proudly display his white socks, tweaked the winner's cheeks, and invited him to reciprocate. When Ham obliged, Herb said, "I love you. Some of the people are . . .," and he made a deadly face. As he spoke, he took a black marker to sign a huge plastic banner. Meaning to write, "Herb was here," he got confused and wrote, "Herb was Herb." A Burger King employee pointed out the mistake. Herb giggled, then wrote, "You was you." The reporters paid more attention to Herb than the customers did. If nothing else, Herb knows his way around the press. He took one reporter aside and in conspiratorial tones, promised to tell the full story behind the story when the Herb shtick ends in March. 3

Wyoming - Laramie

(from Reddit user wyoming_1)

Idaho - Twin Falls

New Mexico - Albuquerque

Texas - El Paso

El Paso broke the mold by telling people herb would be in the area that day!

I'd love to find every single Herb appearance, but I've been at this for hours. I'm upset I couldn't find Virginia! Oh, wait, I forgot one -- Vermont (Brattleboro) . Vermont LOVED Herb the Nerd. They went behind the scenes with him in his Jon Menick clothes! He got a haircut! The article is too big so I linked to the jpg of the newspaper scan.

Another article that's too big is this absolutely insane article from Florida where someone found Jon Menick's parents and did a long interview with them, including baby pictures! (1, 2)

I wanted to know if the $1 million was given away! Yes! It was in Louisville, Kentucky at the still open Oxmoor Center Mall where Herb had visited a few months prior. A young man who worked at Sears won the million dollars.

Herb looks upset in that photo. Probably because it would be his last public appearance.

Before this, he appeared at Werestlemania II as a timekeeper along with Joan Rivers. All I can find is this gif. (source)

The Herb campaign was on many "worst of" 1986 lists. Along with Joan Rivers!

Herbert Manfred "Zeppo" Marx (February 25, 1901 – November 30, 1979) was an American actor, comedian, theatrical agent, and engineer. He was the youngest of the five Marx Brothers and also the last to die. He appeared in the first five Marx Brothers feature films, from 1929 to 1933, but then left the act to start his second career as an engineer and theatrical agent.

Zeppo was born in Manhattan, New York City, on February 25, 1901. His parents were Sam Marx (called "Frenchie" throughout his life), and his wife, Minnie Schönberg Marx. Minnie's brother was Al Shean, who later gained fame as half of the vaudeville team Gallagher and Shean. Marx's family was Jewish. His mother was from East Frisia in Germany; and his father was a native of France, and worked as a tailor.

As with all of the Marx Brothers, different theories exist as to where Zeppo got his stage name: Groucho said in his Carnegie Hall concert in 1972 that the name was derived from the Zeppelin airship. Zeppo's ex-wife Barbara Sinatra repeated this in her 2011 book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life with Frank. His brother Harpo offered a different account in his 1961 autobiography, Harpo Speaks!, claiming (p. 130) that there was a popular trained chimpanzee named Mr. Zippo, and that "Herbie" was tagged with the name "Zippo" because he liked to do chinups and acrobatics, as the chimp did in its act. The youngest brother objected to this nickname, and it was altered to "Zeppo". Another version of this story was that his name was changed to "Zeppo" in honor of the then popular "Zepplin". In a much later TV interview, Zeppo said that Zep is Italian-American slang for baby and as Zeppo was the youngest or baby Marx Brother, he was called Zeppo (BBC Archives).

Zeppo replaced brother Gummo in the Marx Brothers' stage act when the latter joined the army in 1918. Zeppo remained with the team and appeared in their successes in vaudeville, on Broadway, and the first five Marx Brothers films, as a straight man and romantic lead, before leaving the team. He also made a solo appearance in the Adolphe Menjou comedy A Kiss in the Dark, as Herbert Marx. It was described in newspaper reviews as a minor role.

In Lady Blue Eyes, Barbara Sinatra, Zeppo's second wife, reported that Zeppo was considered too young to perform with his brothers, and when Gummo joined the Army, Zeppo was asked to join the act as a last-minute stand-in at a show in Texas. Zeppo was supposed to go out that night with a Jewish friend of his. They were supposed to take out two Irish girls, but Zeppo had to cancel to board the train to Texas. His friend went ahead and went on the date, and was shot a few hours later when he was attacked by an Irish gang that disapproved of a Jew dating an Irish girl.

As the youngest and having grown up watching his brothers, Zeppo could fill in for and imitate any of the others when illness kept them from performing. Groucho suffered from appendicitis during the Broadway run of Animal Crackers and Zeppo filled in for him as Captain Spaulding.

"He was so good as Captain Spaulding in Animal Crackers that I would have let him play the part indefinitely, if they had allowed me to smoke in the audience", Groucho recalled. However, a comic persona of his own that could stand up against those of his brothers did not emerge. As critic Percy Hammond wrote, sympathetically, in 1928:

One of the handicaps to the thorough enjoyment of the Marx Brothers in their merry escapades is the plight of poor Zeppo Marx. While Groucho, Harpo, and Chico are hogging the show, as the phrase has it, their brother hides in an insignificant role, peeping out now and then to listen to plaudits in which he has no share.

Though Zeppo continued to play it straight in the Brothers' movies for Paramount Pictures, he occasionally got to be part of classic comedy moments in them—in particular, his role in the famous dictation scene with Groucho in Animal Crackers (1930). He also played a pivotal role as the love interest of Ruth Hall's character in Monkey Business (1931) and of Thelma Todd's in Horse Feathers (1932).

The popular assumption that Zeppo's character was superfluous was fueled in part by Groucho. According to Groucho's own story, when the group became the Three Marx Brothers, the studio wanted to trim their collective salary, and Groucho replied, "We're twice as funny without Zeppo!"

Zeppo had great mechanical skills and was largely responsible for keeping the Marx family car running. He later owned a company that machined parts for the war effort during World War II, Marman Products Co. of Inglewood, California, later acquired by the Aeroquip Company. This company produced a motorcycle, called the Marman Twin, and the Marman clamps used to hold the "Fat Man" atomic bomb inside the B-29 bomber Bockscar.[citation needed] He invented and obtained several patents for a wristwatch that monitored the pulse rate of cardiac patients and gave off an alarm if the heartbeat became irregular, and a therapeutic pad for delivering moist heat to a patient.

He also founded a large theatrical agency with his brother Gummo. During his time as a theatrical agent, Zeppo and Gummo, primarily Gummo, represented their brothers, among many others.

On April 12, 1927, Zeppo married Marion Bimberg Benda.[15] The couple adopted two children, Timothy and Thomas, in 1944 and 1945, and later divorced on May 12, 1954. On September 18, 1959, Marx married Barbara Blakeley, whose son, Bobby Oliver, he wanted to adopt and give his surname, but Bobby's father would not allow it. Bobby simply started using the last name "Marx".

Blakeley wrote in her book, Lady Blue Eyes, that Zeppo never made her convert to Judaism. Blakeley was of Methodist faith and said that Zeppo told her she became Jewish by "injection".

Blakeley also wrote in her book that Zeppo wanted to keep her son out of the picture, adding a room for him onto his estate, which was more of a guest house, as it was separated from the main residence. It was also decided that Blakeley's son would go to military school, which according to Blakeley, pleased Zeppo.

Zeppo owned a house on Halper Lake Drive in Rancho Mirage, California, which was built off the fairway of the Tamarisk Country Club. The Tamarisk Club had been set up by the Jewish community, which rivaled the gentile club called The Thunderbird. His neighbor happened to be Frank Sinatra. Zeppo later attended the Hillcrest Country Club with friends such as Sinatra, George Burns, Jack Benny, Danny Kaye, Sid Caesar, and Milton Berle.

Blakeley became involved with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and had arranged to show Spartacus (featuring Kirk Douglas) for charity, selling tickets, and organizing a postscreening ball. At the last minute, Blakeley was told she could not have the film, so Zeppo went to the country club and spoke to Sinatra, who agreed to let him have an early release of a film he had just finished named Come Blow Your Horn. Sinatra also flew everyone involved to Palm Springs for the event.

Zeppo was a very jealous and possessive husband, and hated for Blakeley to talk to other men. Blakeley claimed that Zeppo grabbed Victor Rothschild by the throat at a country club because she was talking to him. Blakeley had caught Zeppo on many occasions with other women; the biggest incident was a party Zeppo had thrown on his yacht. After the incident, Zeppo took Blakeley to Europe, and accepted more invitations to parties when they arrived back in the States. Some of these parties were at Sinatra's compound; he often invited Blakeley and Zeppo to his house two or three times a week. Sinatra would also send champagne or wine to their home, as a nice gesture.

Blakeley and Sinatra began a love affair, unbeknownst to Zeppo. The press eventually got wind of the affair, snapping photos of Blakely and Sinatra together, or asking Blakeley questions whenever they spotted her. Both Sinatra and she denied the affair.

Zeppo and Blakeley divorced in 1973. Zeppo let Blakeley keep the 1969 Jaguar he had bought her, and agreed to pay her $1,500 (equivalent to $8,600 in 2019) per month for 10 years. Sinatra upgraded Blakeley's Jaguar to the latest model. Sinatra also gave her a house to live in. The house had belonged to Eden Hartford, Groucho Marx's third wife. Blakeley and Sinatra continued to date, and were constantly hounded by the press until the divorce between Zeppo and Blakeley became final. Blakeley and Sinatra were married in 1976.

Zeppo became ill with cancer in 1978. He sold his home, and moved to a house on the fairway off Frank Sinatra Drive. The doctors thought the cancer had gone into remission, but it returned. Zeppo called Blakeley, who accompanied him to doctor's appointments. Zeppo spent his last days with Blakeley's family.

The last surviving Marx Brother, Zeppo died of lung cancer at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage on November 30, 1979, at the age of 78. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.

In his will, Zeppo left Bobby Marx a few possessions and enough money to finish law school. Both Sinatra and Blakeley attended his funeral.

There are few I know as masterful of change than @daniemckay13 Years ago Dani granted me permission to sketch her in an Audrey Horne outfit by way of Twin Peaks infamy and it is by that consent I ergo post this fan art of her and a thought of Frank Herbert, "Without change something inside of us sleeps adn seldom awakens.

Breakfast at 9 – the waiter having got me a nice hacKney chariot for 4 hours certain, and as much longer as I pleased, tooK Cordingley with me, and was off at 9 1/4 – got out at the College at 10 – Left Cordingley to wait for me, and, having driven first to the house, found the professor had come down immediately and was ready for me at the college – I met him in the stable on the left of the entrance – which opens on a pretty quadrangle laid out in grass, and enclosed with stables, and sheds on one side, the museum etc. –

we stood talKing in the stable a considerable time – It was lofty, the stalls about 6 feet wide, the common depth – the professor said, if he had now the building of these stables, they should be very different – the stalls should be... (vide line 3 et sequentes of this page) – it was not necessary to have a stable so lofty – § 8 feet high was enough – he would nt have then higher – the great art was in ventilation which had never been properly understood – they had just expended £1400 on ventilating their church on the plan of — : it did not answer – To economise heat, as it was called, the good air was properly let in at the bottom of the building; but then the apertures for the escape of the bad were only about a feet-and-a half or 2 feet above those to admit the good air, and therefore the plan could not answer, and ladies were still obliged to go out fainting; for the bad air always rises to the top, and ought to be let out there – the stable was for 5 or 6 horses (I thinK 5 but am not certain) – I observed 3 holes on a level with the ground (perhaps 6 inches by 4 inches) for the admission of fresh air, and ‘exactly over the nose of each horse’, as he stood at his hay-racK

(that sort of oval iron racK placed lengthwise upwards) was an aperture in the top of the ceiling (close to the edge of the wall) about 3 inches by 2 inches ‘the size of a bricK-end’ – for the escape of the foul air as emitted from the nostrils of the horse – They suited the buildings to this as well they could – sometimes they tooK off a ridge stone, and put a little contrivance at the top to Keep out rain, and let the air escape at the sides –

He had been employed to ventilate all our dragoon barracK-stables – had done those at yorK – not a good thing for the stalls to fall towards the bacK – § threw too much weight on the hind legs – all the horse-stalls leaned a little towards a grate in the centre of the stall, thro’ which the urine passed away by a channel underneath – the marc-stalls were, of course, obliged to have the grate at the foot of the stall, and the stall must lean sufficiently towards it – the stable was washed a light blueish gray or drab – the stalls the same, or yellowish stone colour – the horses never suffered to stand on litter during the day – the stalls paved with round gravel or moderate sized pebbles, as large as a large hen’s-egg –

then the professor said a great deal about the nature of colds and catarrhs and complaints of the lungs § – and on the necessity of the frog having pressure – when a horse came in very hot, the perspiration was an effort to cool – why shut all the doors, make the stable as close as possible, and sheet the horse, and do all to prevent this effort of nature – the best plan, to sponge a horse dry with cold water – §§ sponge him all over, and wipe him dry – he would be dry in a few minutes – It was not cold that gave a horse cold – if out all weathers, his coat would stare, and and he might be thin and starved – but he would be free from pulmonary complaints – it was heat, – exertion that determined too much blood to the heart and lungs that gave these complaints, – and he argued for sponging – said post-horses were taKen to ponds – the Russians plunged from hot baths into cold – If I myself was much heated sponging (wiping myself dry) and putting on dry linen would be best for me – he would not advocate for firing – it created a great deal of inflammation – he preferred the effect produced by bandaging – §§ 3 KnucKles-broad, four-feet-long bandages wrapped very tight round the part (while the leg was dry) then throwing cold water on the bandage, the cold produced by the evaporation of the water in drying contracted the muscles in a better way than firing without producing inflammation – grease never heard of now – a sure proof of a bad stable or bad grooming – § they generally used a mild solution of sulphate of zinc – §§ Poultices required so much care, they should always be used with caution – the effect should be to produce cold by evaporation, consequently tho’ did good while moist, they did harm when dry, and required constant attention in being changed sufficiently often – the best month to take a horse up is May §§ – when the horse has had the benefit of the spring grass, when he can have green meat in the stable, and when the temperature of the stable becomes nearly the same, as the tempreture out of doors – finds that warm stable do best, but then they should be properly ventilated § –

after standing perhaps 1/2 hour talKing in the stable, – went into the museum, small, maKing no shew compared with the French one, but excellently furnished with models of shoes, and all sorts of feet – If this room contained all the museum, there was perhaps a want of the others parts of the horse, – of the sKeleton at large – there seemed a good collection of the different interior parts ogans organs of the animal –

Here our attention turned entirely on the feet and on shoeing – the necessity of pressure to the frog – § Xenophon in his retreat of the ten thousand preferred a horse with a frog high from the ground – but this was accounted for, because the art of shoeing was then unKnown – his horses have a yard to run in paved with pebbles – §§ no nails should be near the heels, because they prevented the expansion of them on the frog having pressure and endeavoring to squeeze them out – the frog should never be touched in shoeing, unless unsound, and to cut the bits off and leave it clean – there ought to be room for a picKer between the heel of the shoe, and the crust of the horse’s heel – the sole ought always to be hollow – it was a general rule, it ought to be cut clean – that is always a guide, for it becomes clean (cleanhorn) sooner or later in proportion to its quality, and is a certain index §§ – the shoes ought to go to the end of the heel – when turned out, the forefeet (the hind feet should have no shoes) should be only tipped – ironed round the toe, and a bar from the middle of the toe to the outside quarter – the effect of this may be in time a little contraction of the inside quarter, then remove the bar to the inside – but the inside has always more weight to bear, and is more delicate –

Xenophon says choose horses with blacK hoofs – he is right – he was a philosopher – no stones, nor cut glass wears or hurts their horses hoofs so long as ity it is dry – it is moisture that wears away the horn – and therefore tips only do in dry weather § – from may to September – always bear this in mind, that it is moisture that wears the hood §§ – clay the best stopping – moisture is the thing to be produced by stopping – cowdung is only added to Keep up this moisture, but nothing does better than clay which is just as good without the cow dung – white a pupil of the Professors – a great deal of humbug in him § – so said they at Clarenton (the veterinary college near Paris) –

altogethr 1 1/2 hour with the professor – asKed if he had published written much – he said he talKed more than he wrote – probable enough – he talKed to me all the while as if he was lecturing – a middle sized (perhaps 5 feet 6 inches) stoutish, or, rather, portly man – neat in his person – but evidently a man who had risen by his merit – He had written on the foot of the horse and on shoeing – said I must have his booK, and on giving him my address (at webbe’s hotel) he promised to send it –

on leaving the college drove direct to sir Hector Maclean’s 1 Allan’s Terrace Kensington, to call on old Coll and Breadalbane McL-[MacLean]  Found they had gone the Saturday before – In returning drove round the bacK of Kensington gardens (by the gravel pits as the coachman called it), and so direct to mrs. Partington’s, 16 Orchard street (near Portland Place) to call on miss Hall, general whartons sister, and Mr. wharton’s of Skelton castle – she was at home – very glad to see me – sat with her an hour – she had lately heard from Eliza Belcombe talKed a great deal about the B-s[Belcombes] –

Severe upon miss marsh – her dictatorial manner she had learnt at the spinning school, and which made her disagreeable – old Wallis said her grand father (marsh) Kept a little public house – she under restraint before her sister’s marriage (mrs. greenup always pretty and vulgar) and mrs. Salmond had Kept her in order, but the Norcliffes brought her out – she had had a handsome vulgar niece with her whom she would be glad to get off – for the G-s[Greenups] had been banKrupt – § Miss M[arsh] had done all she could to marry Mr Duffin was right to have a nieice to live with him  § I said I had heard (π [Mariana] told me) Mr Henry Chaloner said the niece was handsome but as coarse in mind as body I thought Miss M[arsh] had brought her too forward  Mrs Greenup had behaved unlike a gentlewoman to me and I knew nothing about her we were not on speaking terms §  Mrs MacKs[MacKenzie’s] father was one § of the Yorkshire Dawsons sspent his fortune was master of the ceremonies at Bath after Nash left his wife there and ran off with Miss Fitz Herbert with whom he lived till her death the people at Bath pitied the poor wife she had some share in the profits of the rooms continued to her and Miss H[erbert] seemed to insinuate that they made a sort of subscription for her – Miss H[erbert] did not illnaturedly volunteer this about the MacK[enzie]s but the manner in which she spoke of Miss Marsh made me come away saying to myself she was grown a scandalizing old maid § – miss Hall said that manner Kept ladies, and ladies of patched up characters lived in Sloane street – had warned mrs. mcK-[MacKenzie] not to let miss mcK-[MacKenzie] walK about with the Miss Saundersons mrs. Saunderson not a gentle woman –

From Miss Hall’s drove to the Blue boar Holborn – tooK 2 inside places for Sunday morning – the man told me to be there at 6 3/4 – then drove to Hewitt’s, straw hat manufacturer, 96 curtain road, near worship street – on Mrs William Priestleys account a first cousin of hers  she wanted to know what sort of man he was  I pretended a recommendation for hats from a family of Smith of Halifax in Yorkshire the man caught at this made inquiries about the πs [Mariana’s]  mentioned the relationship and I promised to say I had seen him he seemed respectable  supplied the city straw hat sellers made chiefly black willow bonnets and English leghorn –

From curtain road drove to no.94 Pall mall, got out there at 3 50/60 – § gave Cordingley money to give mr. webbe to pay the man for the hacKney Chariot (from 9 1/4 to 4) and went in (the Apollo Saloon, 94 Pall mall) to hear the infant Lyra – a child apparently about 5 years old, play the harp – no notes – from ear – different airs with variations – a pretty little g child – fine blacK eyes – speaKing, interesting, pensive cast of countenance – the performance, certainly wonderful lasted about 1/2 hour – the room full – I was rather too late, but heard her 20 minutes –

A Barbershop In Toledo, Ohio Gave Rise To Satanism In The United States The Satanic Our Lady of Endor Coven was founded in Toledo back in 1948 by Herbert Sloane. In the back of his barbershop, Soane and his followers would perform Satanic rituals until his death in the 1980s - and no, Mrs. Lovett's meat pies did not originate here.  The coven named themselves after the Witch of Endor, and all their rituals were intended to commune with Satan, or as they referred to him, the "Horned God." Sloane’s group were among the very first Satanists to go public in the United States with their controversial beliefs. And while they predated Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan by 19 years, they chose to remain mostly under the radar. Sloane was briefly a member of the Church of Satan in the 1960s, but his organization never achieved the notoriety that LaVey’s did. #didyouknow #toledo https://www.instagram.com/p/BzO6J8uJBtT/?igshid=1wr5dljcavi75

Eine Spielliste

In den letzten Tagen bzw. Nächten war es mal wieder an der Zeit ... eine Liste musste her. Nicht irgendeine. Eine Spielliste -engl. Playlist - und die sollte nicht weniger enthalten, als alle Songs, die ich in den nun fast 43 Jahren auf meinen Ohren hatte und immer wieder gerne habe. Einige der Stücke sind autobiographisch angehaucht - durch Liebeskummer in der Jugend, tolle Urlaubserlebnisse oder tolle Parties geprägt. Anderes ist einfach so herein geflattert.... und beim Sichten einiger der Texte/Lyrics könnte man zu dem Schluss kommen, ich müsste dringend mal eine Therapie anfangen. Wie es auch immer dazu gekommen ist, dass sich ein Lied auf die Liste geschummelt hat... hier ist sie - 210 Songs - und mir fallen in diesem Moment schon wieder Lieder ein, die ich vergessen habe.... to be continued.

“The binding was made in Paris between 1550 and 1555 either by Claude de Picques or by Jean Picard.”

“ To fully appreciate the importance of this binding and its relation to Picques we must again turn to "An Essay in the History of Gold-Tooled Bindings" by Herbert P. Horne London 1894. "...we must turn to the books of Charles IX., who succeeded his brother in 1560, not only for a new manner, but, also, for a new style. This style, which was adapted from the medieval device of the' semis,' the repetition of some given figure over a field at regular intervals, continued in use upon the books of the royal libraries, during the following century: and it is in the invention of this style, that French gilding first appears to free itself from the traditions. of Italian Art. A remarkable binding tooled in this way covers a book, which was placed in the library at Fontainebleau, by Katherine de Medicis, in memory of Henri II., and 'which is reproduced by M. Gruel, in his Manuel. The' semis,' with which this book is ornamented, consists in the repetition of two crowned cyphers, the one formed by the C of Charles IX., the other of the K of Katherine repeated and reversed. “

This car museum is a three-ring attraction

https://bestcaritems.com/?p=6885&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus earned its title as “The Greatest Show on Earth,” in part, because it provided not one, not two, but three rings of entertainment under its big top. You might say the same thing about the Sarasota Classic Car Museum, which is located in the circus’ long-time winter-weather hometown, the Florida Gulf Coast city of Sarasota. Indeed, the museum is located just across the Tamiami Trail (aka U.S. 41) from the acclaimed John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art, and the car museum’s collection includes a quartet of cars formerly owned by the Ringling family. The classic car museum occupies the middle section of a triplex/three-ring building. On one side is a nightclub-style event center which offers live musical entertainment on weekends, a series of tribute shows offering tributes to such artists as Frank Sinatra, the Bee Gees, Jimmy Buffet, the Beach Boys, Motown and even Elvis. At the other end of the building is Vintage Motors of Sarasota, a collector car dealership. The museum was founded in 1953 and claims to be the second-oldest continuously operated antique car museum in the country, though not all of its vehicles are antiques. In addition to vehicles ranging from the turns of the previous and current centuries, the museum is home to the Rivolta Collection, the famed car-building family from Italy taking residence in Sarasota. The museum’s founders were brothers Herbert and Bob Horn, who in addition to running a farm and school-equipment sales business based in Iowa were car collectors who discovered Sarasota’s winter weather, brought down 70 vehicles from their collection and opened the Horns’ Cars of Yesterday museum, which featured not only cars but the adjacent Music Box Arcade, home to their collection of vintage music boxes.   The Sarasota Classic Car Museum The Sarasota Classic Car Museum The brothers sold the museum in 1967 to trucking company owner Walter Bellm. In addition to adding 20 cars from his own collection, Bellm expanded the music box building to house his collection of organs and other musical instruments, including a 17-foot-tall orchestrion, large instruments that is a virtual orchestra-in-a-box. With Bellm approaching nearing his 80th birthday, he sold Bellm Cars & Music of Yesterday in 1997 to Martin Godbey, a local car collector and, since 1989, a collector-car dealer. Godbey renovated the triplex building and moved his dealership into what had been the portion that had houses Bellm’s music instrument collection. “Hopefully we have something for everyone,” said Godbey, who recently acquired more than two dozen Ferraris and Porsches that will rotate through the museum’s display. The Sarasota Classic Car Museum Greeting visitors as they enter the museum is a 1905 Schcht, which appears to have been completely restored until you walk around and discover that half of it has been left in original — and aging — condition. Turn one way and there’s the Rivolta family collection. Turn the other way and there’s a blacksmith shop and the friction-driven CarterCar chassis that was displayed at auto shows in New York and Detroit in 1906. Three of the Ringling family cars were at the museum when I visited. The other was on loan to Dan Garlits museum in Ocala. In exchange, Garlits loaned one of his Swamp Rat dragsters to the Sarasota museum. Among the most striking of the museum’s vehicles is the 1937 Gougeon Streamliner, an aerodynamic Dymaxion-style vehicle built in Bay City, Michigan, by Ronald Gougeon, who became wealthy operating a chain of beauty parlors. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. For more information, including the schedule of musical performances, visit the museum’s website.
