King Tut

Welcome to the Round the World “King Tut” Cruise.  There are no boarding passes or tickets, because this boat can hold a million people, so there should be plenty of room, and we won’t have to worry about social distancing because our luxury cruise ship is in another dimension of space-time where there are no viruses. Our destination: Egypt. And not the real Egypt, either. This is the Egypt we will find when we explore the imaginations of musicians and composers from the 78 RPM era.
