I am in the Ludlow Vermont public library on one of the ten most beautiful days of the year. I must be crazy. I have discovered that, for reasons I can’t fathom, you cannot copy embed code at youtube when using an Ipad. I think I may have worked around it, but if this doesn’t work, accept my apologies because I can’t watch flash on this thing anyway.
I haven’t had much time to look around for good stuff, so I found this instead. It’s so cheezily bizarre that I figured I’d put it up. Some of the commenters at youtube claim it’s the first music video, which only goes to prove that the art form hasn’t progressed much. I can’t tell if this is lip synced, though I suspect it is, since I’m listening on bluetooth headphones, which, for some reason, cause the sound to be slightly out of kilter with the video. I liked this song when I was a kid, but I’m putting it up mostly because I’m running out of time and because I got such a kick out of the costumes and the whole set up. Johnny Horton singing (sort of) the Battle of New Orleans.
