Also throwing down is local throat singing sensation
DB PEDERSEN. DB recently released a CD of his
overtone vocal styles, can do amazing animal sounds
and will be doing something with one of the Gomers
- you really have to hear this guy to believe it. Loopy,
loop-filled outer space voice sounds; completely original.
And then, you get another dose of vintage cartoons and commercials on 16mm film. This week it's a pair of LITTLE LULU CARTOONS; produced in the mid-1940's, Little Lulu is a lovable character who
gets in all sorts of mischief. The neat thing about these cartoons is the massive amount of imagination and creativity they hold; check 'em out on the Internet Movie Database: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149933/
