Art Clokey passed away 9 January 2009. Here’s his (pre-Gumby) tribute to Disney’s Fantasia. [Found here.]
Whoa. Bill Wyman, Georgie Fame, Peter Frampton, Gary Brooker, Beverley Skeete, all rolled into one rock. Nice late night low key roadtrip music.
Very nice piano version of Zappa’s classic f-u song to an ex*, originally recorded by the Mothers in the mid 60′s. That final chord is awsome.
*The story I heard, Larry… Someone named Wendy was one of FZ’s early loves. There is also a story that no one was named “Wendy” until Disney’s “Peter Pan” was released in 1953. Although that may be true, “Peter Pan and Wendy” was published in 1911, according to The Wikiness, and “Wendy” may have appeared as early as 1902.
Now for our feature presentation: HOMUNCULUS

Well, almost… it’s not Disney that boomed the name Wendy, but the PLAY of “Peter Pan” which came out in 1904.
For a non-Disney Pan unlike any other:

The Nev– Yeah, it sounded like an urban legend to me after I saw the history of Boy Pan.
P.S. Believe THIS!
Dan– One of the more bizarre animations I’ve seen recently. BTW, how’s life without Rockhoppers?

D the V– It’s not real. It’s just an animation… as far as you know…
