I guess I was taking it for granted that I could just play silly songs for April but an emergency recording session was convened after someone threatened to immolate an ancient civilization, big vibe killer. So at a loss, here's #FlandersAndSwann's 1964 anti-nuclear-arms #20TonsOfTNT

@treleanor @damonism of course, the ultimate tribute song to buses has to be the Flanders and Swann classic, "A Transport of Delight".
