On Saturday Rick McGinnis’ weekly movie date went Cuban and revolutionary. The fourth of the new stand-alone weekly editions of The Hundred Years Ago Show covered all the news including the dedication of the new Lincoln Memorial, and our Sunday song selection was a number Mark’s been singing on telly all week: Aba-daba-daba-daba-daba-daba-daba, said the monkey…

If you were too busy cowering in the basement in fear of the approaching monkeypox, we hope you’ll want to check out one or three of the foregoing as a new week begins.
