We continue to spend November saying, “Thank you!” to those who support our Patreon at the highest level! David wrote us a lovely message which included a request that we listen to “Quiet Please,” a script which served as the final episode of the series, Quiet Please. Thanks, David! The tale features the lone survivor of a war-torn civilization who rhapsodizes about all that was lost and the path that led his culture to its end. What lessons can be gleaned from an old man’s bittersweet memories? How well does this tale serve as a final episode to this legendary series? Are we truly nothing more than just a bunch of people sitting around talking? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
Thanks, fellas. I’m especially grateful to Eric for working for less than union scale. 😉
I’m curious if Ken Nordine ever acknowledged “Quiet Please” as an influence. Listening to this episode, it struck me that the persona Nordine presents in many of his “word jazz” songs is reminiscent of Ernest Chappell in “Quiet Please.”
I was with Eric on this one.
