Thx, I’d forgotten about that one!

Claudia Schmidt performs (or used to) a spoken word piece called “The Vowels” which was written by someone else. She’d finish it, then claim that the same author was working on a sequel, “The Consonants”.

Is that Irving Finkel singing? The pic at 2:45 looks like him, too.

It is! I’m surprised that it had never shown up in suggested vids, given what I tend to view on YouTube.

Yeah, in most dungeons I insist on the title, “Invincible Overlord”.

I remember seeing a live version, this may be it, or may just be from the same period.
