More Information
  • After saying that I did a pretty good job combing through the town for treasure and goodies, I almost immediately found a room I missed that has treasure and goodies.  I mentioned that it was a Lenny and Squiggy moment from Laverne and Shirley
  • “Watch out for those blades, Mr. Bill” was a reference to an old Saturday Night Live series of sketches staring a clay character named Mr. Bill.
  • With two passengers stacked on top of each other in the gyrocopter, I mentioned that it looked like something out of a production by Cirque du Soleil.
  • Twin Spires was named kinda sorta after the town of Twin Peaks (from the television series of the same name).
  • Quick!  To the Batmobile” was a thing during the Batman television series of the 1960’s.
  • I mentioned Luki’s Grand Capitals mod.
  • A bit later I was talking about trapeze artists back in the day and how many of them came from Italy and the Dalmation coast.
  • I talked a bit about Immersive Aircraft and the Man of Many Planes mods.
  • After dropping off some more villagers, I likened it to the bit in the movie, Born Free, where they released the lioness Elsa into the wild.
  • Later on, I made some comparisons to me pulling everyone out of Twin Spires to the efforts of the Russian captain and officers to defect to the United States in the book/movie, the Hunt for Red October.
  • I mentioned a quote from the movie, Running Scared… “No autopsy… no foul.”
Music

Ever since I watched The Sting as a child, I have loved Ragtime music. However, I am not a musician, composer, or even a particularly knowledgeable fan of music. I enjoy what I enjoy and that includes many different genres of music. However, Ragtime is the soundtrack for the era I am simulating and this may the first time that modern listeners may be exposed to it. So I am including some general Ragtime links and whatever information I can find on the particular tracks I used in this episode.
