From the 1944 film, Sweet and Lowdown, here's Benny Goodman and his orchestra, featuring Lynn Bari (dubbed by Lorraine Elliott), and a short trombone solo with the actor, James Cardwell, working the slide on camera, but dubbed by William Harris.

ANZAC Day
I might be late by a day, with that International Dateline thing, but best wishes to our Australian brothers and sisters on ANZAC Day, 2024. God bless the souls of the fallen.
Gregory has a nice roundup of photos.

Is that so?
Savor the fatuity of this duck-lipped Deep State tool: "Wray: We’re Not Monitoring Campus Protests, ‘We Don’t Monitor Protests’ We Do Share Intel About Threats".
“We don’t monitor protests, but we do share intelligence about specific threats of violence with campuses, with state and local law enforcement, but we don’t monitor protests.”
Well, here's my question, J. Edgar Doofus: do you go after the violent ones with the same dogged determination that you have shown in pursuing elderly grannies who took a stroll in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 7th? Are there any networks of well-funded anti-Semitic activists that might be pushing college campuses toward violence - indeed, have already done so? Or haven't you looked into that, yet? Maybe you'd rather just adopt the "Surprise me" approach that has led you and some of your predecessors to fail so spectacularly in identifying real terrorists - you know, the ones who have actually killed thousands of people.
So much for sarcasm
I led off my "Assortment" post yesterday with this line: "Have Paul Ryan and Mike Johnson ever been seen in the same room together?"
Today, I see this: "Paul Ryan Praises Speaker Johnson for Allowing Democrats to Seize House".
Now I know how they feel over at the Babylon Bee.
