Buona Notte

I LOVE this album cover and have had this one for years. I can’t seem to let it go, not that anyone has ever wanted it! The great things about this record is that it’s supposed to be lullabys and yet every single song is so crazy upbeat that there is no way in hell any kid ever fell asleep to this! Seriously, we are talking a straight up party record, tarantellas included! It might explain why the painfully adorable little baby is wide awake and ready to rage! Is he clapping!?!?Another thing I love about this is that in the liner notes at the bottom of the record it credits the Great Grandmother as Angela Terranova and the little munchkin as Joseph Scavone. I go nuts for this sort of thing…it’s just too sweet.

    SO SO SO SO SO SORRY AND SAD THAT WINDUPKITTY IS NO LONGER ON THE PLANET TO RECEIVE HER CAMEMBERT. IT IS AWARDED POSTHUMOUSLY TO ONE OF THE BEST aK’S EVER!!!

    Love this. And love that the music isn’t as described on the jacket. That crazy upbeat tarantella could take granny out!

    Buona Notte, Windup.

    Oh, I just choked when I saw that was Maggie’s last post .. and as strange this may sounds to people who never got to know her unique humor – I think she would have smiled about this being her last post.

    If there is something like a kitsch heaven it became even more colorful with Windup’s arrival.

    It’s still hard to believe that she isn’t here anymore, but she will always be with us here at AWMOK.

    Once more – so sorry for you loss, Allee. xx

      I know. I think about her every day. So touched that you feel the same. I almost died (tho I guess I shouldn’t use that word in this case) when I saw the name of the LP was “good night”. God night, sweet Maggie.
