Comment:
My attempt to cobble together a lounge-type mix. Why Larry Tate from "Bewitched" you may ask? Well, there always seemed to be a lot of consuming of martinis and other cocktails in those shows, usually as a convenient way to explain away such things as objects floating through the air and people teleporting before one's eyes. I also recall a good number of episodes where Larry and Darrin would close deals in smoky cocktail lounges. For some reason, I got to thinking that Larry probably remained in the lounge long after Darrin and the clients left, getting lost in an alcohol haze world of sugardaddy affairs, regrets, desperation and loneliness through closing time and his stumbling return to his long-suffering wife, Louise. This, then, is the unseen side of Larry Tate.
Feedback:
I raise my glass to you. Brilliant. It cracks me up imagining Larry getting down to Fiona, Merle and Phil. A great addition to the
original soundtracks exhibit.

Brilliant concept! Interesting thinking of Alice, Tower of Song and Shame as "Lounge-type" music.
Cool. And seems like a pretty sound analysis of Larry Tate. I imagine he would meet in some smoky bar after hours with Dr. Bellows from I Dream of Jeannie and share the vaguely supernatural horrors of their workdays.
Fun!
I've often wondered what was really going on with Larry Tate, behind closed doors, I mean. you could always sense something deeper, a longing... look, you can see it there in his eyes. I think you've nailed it. wonderful mix.
