A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Caryn:
In the pre-TV era, they'd occasionally have ventriloquists on the radio. I suspect some ventriloquists slacked off when they knew they could not be seen... (Of course, on the shows with live studio audiences, they still had to bring it.) | |
