Just to be an anorak, "Dry Bones" is by Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians.

What's an anorak (in this context; I know it's a jacket)?

Jim, trainspotters ("nerds") wear anoraks; it's a metonymy, where the part represents the whole. We learn something new every day on the Mudcat!

Mom has the vinyl record somewhere; I remember there's one number in the tv show that's omitted from it because of some coypright complication, but I can't recall the title.

Is there a CD of Pennies from Heaven? (The English version with Bob Hoskins, not the movie with Steve Martin.)
