Mike presents his awesome “Sherlock Noir” pastiche to the Bootmakers of Toronto at their Feb. 24, 2018 meeting. Hear Holmes as you’ve never heard him before in this wonderful re-imagining complete with stoic self-sacrifice and peppery jive. Play it again, Sarasate.

Whew! That’s a lotta grokking. Mike and Geordie hold forth on The Resident Patient. AND we edited out the parts that seemed to go long. Discussions of: The Who (in 2019), Nosferatu (1922), and Sir William Osler (1849-1919) are entirely optional, but you won’t know they’ve started until after it’s too late. You have been […]
