Introduction

We start the show with a quote from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” You can Buy the excellent John Williams “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from Amazon. As with any products you find in our show notes, purchasing through the links we provide will help support our sponsors.

We then jump in to the show by talking about what we’re going to talk about, because we enjoy being circular like that. During that discussion, we mention the Hudsucker Proxy and comment on the excellent soundtrack, which is available for purchase.
