Odd, I've never considered The New Yorker a humor mag, although, I
always,always read their cartoons first. It's always seemed a bit weak in
"the music department", though. Doubtless, the tone deaf klutzes on their
editorial staff didn't know great musical humor stuff when they see it.

Dan, we gotta see your "Banana" article!

P.S. Actually, Dan, The New Yorker is often a very humorous mag by virtue
of its own pretentiousness.
