This reminds me of the time I read about Fred Astaire appearing on radio in the 1930s.*

I just stumbled across this video on youtube the other day – its silent film footage of Stravinsky conducting. Its actually quite nice to watch and definitely an interesting historical record, but for entertainment value..? – I guess about as worthy as tap-dancing over the radio.
