Something for Monday

OK, I promise that this blog isn’t going to be all-Nimoy-all-the-time, but after I got done collating the material for the Sentential Links post, I saw this on Facebook. As I’ve noted, I’ve been obsessing somewhat over the Glen Campbell song “Gentle On My Mind” for a while now, ever since I heard The Band Perry’s version on the radio a few months ago. Well, it turns out that Nimoy recorded that song as well, and you know what? He does a pretty damned good job of it. If your only impression of Nimoy as a singer is that “Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” thing (certainly the case with me), you may find this surprising. Wow!
