Random Memorial for Monday 5/4/15

Gone but not forgotten:  thinking that Teller *never* talks.

Because, it turns out, he does!

I mean, sure, I never thought he was a medical mute, and I fully expected that he chatted with friends and family on the sly.  But I assumed that any time he was doing something *in the public eye*, that he'd keep his mouth shut in order to protect the integrity of his performances.

So I was somewhat shocked when I was watching a Houdini documentary on the History channel the other day and heard him speak in interviews (oddly, he sat in the shadows, as if that made it so that the viewer would excuse the shtick-infraction).  By the way, I was also shocked to learn that Houdini died because he let a college kid gut-punch him out of vanity ... but that's another story for another day (or for one of the links to follow/below).

Raymond Joseph Teller's voice, now that I've heard it and so feel somewhat betrayed, will not be forgotten.

OK OK SO HE TALKS *A LOT* APPARENTLY:
