Nelson Eddy at The Statler Hilton Empire Room, 1959

This is a showcard (basically a multi-fold postcard advertising shows at night clubs and casinos) for Nelson Eddy and Gale Sherwood's April 30 - May 13 performances at the Empire Room at the Statler Hilton in Dallas, Texas.

Nelson Eddy (1901-1967) was an actor and a classically trained opera singer. He appeared in numerous Hollywood musicals and earned three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Eddy has made 290 recording from 1935 to 1964 and had a successful night club act. This showcard is from that act.

Pac-Man Fever

This morning I woke up with this strange song in my head:



It's not that strange of a song, I guess. The strange part is that I had not heard the song in years. I don't know why it was in my head at all. Instead of trying to decipher a deeper meaning, I determined that it meant that today was Pac-Man day on What Makes The Pie Shops Tick?. I can be here for 66 weeks posting all of the awesome things that came from the Pac-Man franchise, instead, I will post a few things I really enjoy.
