A note on shownotes. In a perfect world, you go into each episode of the Memory Palace knowing nothing about what's coming. It's pretentious, sure, but that's the intention. So, if you don't want any spoilers or anything, you can click play without reading ahead.

Anyway...

Music 

• We hear Vaggvisa by Henrik Lindstrand.

• Then Kestrel, off the album by the same name from Caoimhin O Raghallaigh.

• Ljuva mekaniska jag by 1900.

• A loop from When it's Time to Go, by Buddy Fo & his Group.

• A bit of Movement II from Martynov, "Come in!" by Vladimir Martynov.

• Making Love in the Apartment from Krysztof Komeda's score to Rosemary's Baby.

• And the Mistral Noir, from Daniel Herkedal.

Notes

• There's a lot written about Kelly and his times, none more enjoyable than Bill Bryson's in One Summer: America, 1927.

• The best academic book that touches on Kelly and his times is Dance Marathons: Performing American Culture in the 1920s and 30s, by Carol Martin.

Here in its tenth year in operation, the Memory Palace just got a star turn in the wonderful podcast and radios show, Radiolab. We couldn’t be more delighted.

So, a word of welcome to new listeners and a call to arms for regular listeners and a story perfect for the end of summer.
