Music

• Sarah in Bath from Krysztof Komeda’s score to the Fearless Vampire Killers.
• Adagio for Glass Harmonica, K617a as performed by Vienna Glass Armonia Duo.
• Mr. Death Angel Flanders from John Barry’s score to Boom!
• And a bit of Imaginary Building from Elana Katz-Cherwin and Tamara-Anna Cislowska

Notes

• There’s a great American Heritage article on the history of Delmonico’s.
• There’s a nice write up on the Swan Dinner in American Phoenix: The Remarkable Story of William Skinner, by Sarah S. Kilborne
• Society as I Have Found It, Ward McAllister’s memoir of the Gilded Age is appropriately bonkers.
