#2315 – THE BAGMAN’S GAMBIT – The Decemberists – 6/19/2020





June 19, 1953 saw Julius & Ethel Rosenberg become the
first U.S.
citizens to be convicted and executed for espionage during peacetime. Both
refused to admit any wrongdoing and proclaimed their innocence right up to the
time of their deaths, by the electric chair.

I have to send a thank you to my nephew to turning me on to
this band of quirky Oregonians. We were driving to a family gathering and I
asked what the tune was were hearing on the CD player. It was this LP –
“Picaresque”.  He popped it out and gave
it to me. This bizarre tune of love and espionage immediately caught my
attention, and still remains a fave.
