For The Record

Just for the record it is damn near impossible to keep a straight face while doing a grocery store ad that contains the words "fiddle faddle".

Just wanted to get that out there.

Carry on.

Fiddle Faddle can be a trifle or candy coated popcorn.
But for a musicologist it is:

Fiddle-Faddle
Composed for string orchestra and later orchestrated for full orchestra, Fiddle-Faddle was completed January 1, 1947. It is 3 minutes and 10 seconds long. It was first performed for string orchestra on March 30, 1947 at a concert broadcast from the Boston Opera House with Arthur Fiedler conducting. Its first recording was for string orchestra on June 21, 1947, in analog mono sound with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops. Anderson orchestrated Fiddle-Faddle for full orchestra in 1948. It was first recorded for full orchestra by the composer on June 29, 1951, in analog mono sound. Recorded in analog stereo for full orchestra by the composer on June 11, 1959

It's a delightful tune! If you've never heard it, or would like to hear it again, it's on YouTube. There's even a clip of Danny Kaye conducting it!

Just for the record, 6 Red Bull and Vodkas consumed within 90 minutes does not make you invisible.
