Coming Up Tomorrow On The Dickenbock Report: Monkey Day

In this panel from a Golden-Age Captain Marvel comic, Captain Marvel (now known as Shazam) descends from the sky with an organ-grinder monkey on his shoulder & confronts the astonished organ grinder, with a voice balloon telling his words: I dig music & monkey! Grind me a tune!
(I found this image on Tumblr somewhere I can't remember)

December 14 is Monkey Day. There are lots of musical reports about monkeys. We'll sift through the most informative. We'll also probably call lots of primates monkeys that are not, technically, monkeys. & Dick Dickenbock will get lots of angry letters. That would be terrible. Unless one likes letters.

The show is on Sunday from noon to 1pm on XRAY. That's on the air in Portland at 91.1+107.1fm & online everywhere at xray dot fm. You'll go ape for the show! (Time to start writing those angry letters!)
