Episode 137: Swans

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia.

Music

Sarah in Bath from Krysztof Komeda's score to the Fearless Vampire Killers. 

Adagio for Glass Harmonica, K617a as performed by Vienna Glass Armonia Duo.

Mr. Death Angel Flanders from John Barry's score to Boom!

Notes

There's a great American Heritage article on the history of Delmonico's.

There's a nice write up on the Swan Dinner in American Phoenix: The Remarkable Story of William Skinner, by Sarah S. Kilborne 

Society as I Have Found It, Ward McAllister's memoir of the Gilded Age is appropriately bonkers.
