I haven't seen this posted before, so I thought it might be new to someone.

I never knew Jeffrey had such a great singing voice! :)

I actually stumbled upon it via other's youtubes a little while ago. 

Not only an excellent video to watch in the morning with a cup of coffee, but worth it alone for Long's performance :)

Well, my voice is ummm lacking but these are great great songs. Arlene did the translations to English. And we threw that play together in an afternoon; it only uses some of the songs. there are many others. For years I've been trying to find a Finale specialist to put them all in a book but it isn't easy. You have these old folks songs, changed and changed again. someday...

Anyway, that was great fun. It's been a long time since we seem to have found the time to do up something like that. Crazy days.

Jeffrey Tucker has posted so many great articles -- but I will always remember him for his performance in Mozart Was A Red... the Ayn Rand parody written by Murray Rothbard.  What a masterful performance. And one of the reasons I was able to get past the over-seriousness of Randianism (one of the roadblocks to coming to my current beliefs) into the works of Mises and Rothbard.

I made an image with a bunch of layers using Paint.NET and saved one image file per frame, turning off the layers I didn't need.

Then I used unfreeze to the compile images in a loop.
