“Head in the Clouds” by Jill Garrett. 2nd Place, Studio Category, 2026

Skokiaan, Louis Armstrong (1955)
“Skokiaan” is an illegal self-made alcoholic beverage in Zimbabwe.
From Crime in South Africa, L.F. Freed (1960):  “Isikoivane (skokiaan) appears to be a general term used for all drinks other than the traditional beer sold in municipal beer halls. But these drinks are sheer poison in that they are mixed with blue stone (copper sulphate), tobacco juice, dagga, methylated spirits, snakes, carbide, rats, beetles – anything to give a kick and a bite.”

Love Theme from The Flight of the Phoenix, The Brass Ring (1966)
The Brass Ring, a group of NYC studio musicians led by saxophonist and arranger Phil Bodner, turned a classic Italian song into The Now Sound (cigarette commercial music) popular in the 1960s. Senza fine (the original version) was written by Italian singer-songwriter Gino Paoli and first recorded in 1961 by Ornella Vanoni. The film version was recorded by Connie Francis, and retitled The Phoenix Love Theme.

Arf Appreciation

Pittsburgh-based artist Tom Mosser never imagined that a small pleasure painting created in 2012 would change his life forever. The painting, titled A Golden Retriever at the Museum, depicts Mosser’s golden retriever, Lucas, and it became one of the most widely shared pieces of dog art in internet history.
