This is becoming a trend!  Did Leonard Nimoy want a recording career?  I
used to have a copy of "The Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy", which were, of course,
Himself and Spock.  One side of the record was "Leonard" and the other was
"Spock".  The first cut on the "Spock" side was a number entitled "Highly
Illogical":

	From far beyond the Galaxy, 
	I've journeyed to this place
	To study the behaviour patterns 
	of the Human Race...

	And I find them HIGHLY ILLOGICAL.

	Take the case of your automobile,
	Greatest invention since man discovered wheels
	...four on the floor,
	push button windows, 
	push button doors.
	Double barrelled carburators rush you any place,
	but you never can find a parking place.

	MOST ILLOGICAL.

	

Anyway, it went from the light frivolity of this number, to another one
called "Once I smiled a smile so rare", a somber love song that had to
be referencing This Side of Paradise (The one with the "happiness spores"
and Spock falls in love after being infected by the spores) to the final
number called "Amphibious Assault", more a spoken dispcriptive piece 
with background music for emotional impact, about war in the future.

The Leonard side started with a tribute to Bilbo Baggins (Nimoy is a great
Tolkien fan) and went on to several country/western and folk songs (
"Gentle on My Mind" - Glen Campbell? and "If I were a Carpenter" are two
that I can remember)

Anyone else heard of any more Nimoy albums?

Working is fine, but I wouldn't want to make a career out of it.
