 |  | Window Dressing | The Holiday windows at Berdorf Goodman's are always delightful and stunning artistic wonders. Always richly textured and intricately designed, they are one of the most highly anticipated events of the many that fill New York at this time of year. This season's "Carnival of the Animals" theme is especially dear to us, as Center44 member Marion Harris was involved, supplying a variety of antique artist's models and vintage wooden animals, from monkeys to horses, from her well-known collection.

| | Song of the Week |  | "How Glad I Am" by Fontella Bass Nancy Wilson's 1964 recording remains the best-known version of "How Glad I Am," but mid-sixties sensation Fontella Bass killed it on her own plush and deeply intense version for the Chess/Checker label. Shortly after her big career hit, 1965's blistering "Rescue Me," Bass's soaringly soulful talents were stifled over mishegas related to royalties and writing credits. Bass, the daughter of gospel vocalist Martha Bass of the Clara Ward Singers, went on to marry and record with renowned avant-garde trumpet legend Lester Bowie, co-founder of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and eventually returned to her St. Louis gospel roots. "How Glad I Am" was featured on Monica's December 4th show on WFMU. | | Tube of the Week |  | This very brief video, titled "Panda Sneeze" is one of the funniest ever! | |
