Blurzles From March, 1961
We all remember the Blues song, "Too Many Blurzles", from the 1930s. I'll pause while you put your scratchy 78 rpm disc (with an RCA "Bluebird" label) on your Victrola to give it another listen. Be sure to use a fresh stylus!
There, now you're ready to view some Blurzles, of which I have (no surprise) too many. But the Blues is all about dealing with life's misfortunes. Let's begin with this scan of a photo looking northward from Town Square; the Wurlitzer store is to our right, I like to go inside and show off my chops, playing Gershwin, or maybe Rachmaninoff on a rinky-dink electric organ. "He's a genius! We are lucky to be in his presence!". Main Street is practically deserted in March, Grandma and the kids will have an amazing time.
There is a lot of stuff packed into this corner of Fantasyland, the old Pirate Ship, the Skyway overhead, Casey Jr.'s ticket booth (and the Storybook Land lighthouse in the distance), along with Dumbo, he and his indentical siblings love nothing more than flying around and around in circles.
I'm still in the sanitorium... I mean, on vacation!

"I like to go inside and show off my chops, playing Gershwin, or maybe Rachmaninoff on a rinky-dink electric organ. "He's a genius! We are lucky to be in his presence!". Main Street is practically deserted in March..."
So, in an attempt at 'putting lipstick on a pig', you're saying your "playing chops" cleared Main Street-?? Hmmmmm....
Thanks, Major.
Everything looks all tangled-up in that second image.
Thanks, Major.
Nanook — Ha!
We all remember the Blues song, "Too Many Blurzles".....
Awww, I bet Melissa could give us lyrics for a song like that. I hope she has been continuing to improve. We still miss you, Melissa!
Thanks, Major!
^ I second that emotion.
In the Wurlitzer shop, I would be playing Mozart's "Chopsticks". (Amadeus did compose it, although I don't think he called it that.)
The reason Main Street is almost deserted is because everything is so blurry! Who wants to plunk down an exorbitant entrance fee to the Park (a buck, twenty-five!), only to find that you can't see anything clearly?! I wonder if Steve Martin is working in the Magic Shop?... Oh wait, he worked at the other Magic Shop, didn't he? I see quite a few blurry trashcans, but I only count trashcans that aren't blurry... I'm an elitist.
This woulda, coulda, shoulda been a nice colorful action shot, except for Old Man Blur (you kids get off my lawn!). Actually, parts of the photo are in focus: the three most distant Dumbi and the orange Skyway bucket. See, this is why the Main Steeet pic was so empty; nobody wants to see a blurry Dumbo!
Thanks, Major. (I was gonna write that in a blurry font, but I don't know how.)
