The Typewriter

Hello, movie fans, and welcome back to the Comfy Chair Cinema.

Isn't the 21st century great? Even with no flying cars, no trasnporter pods, no... well, no return carriages.

This week's movie was actually inspired by the mighty and feared Blacksburg Community Band. See, this season one of our numbers on the Spring concert program was that old Leroy Anderson nugget, "The Typewriter." For those of you not familiar, it's a short novelty tune that uses the typewriter - and its keys, bell, and return carriage - as an instrument.

The story goes that the band had a rather difficult time finding a manual portable typewriter for the concert.

So grab your Goobers and Raisinettes (also sold in the lobby at a nominal fee, Goobers 10% off this week), and enjoy "The Typewriter."

Scary thought -- how many people (kids) soon won't know what these sounds are? I've got to get Nick-the-child-not-the-cancer a Selectric. Boy, I loved those.
