I was thrilled to be invited to speak at this year’s Trekonderoga convention at the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga, NY. 

I am doing two presentations: Come talk Star Trek collectibles, which is a series of stories behind my best items, and Collecting advice: how to start, what to buy, and how to display it.

Powering my preparation for these talks is vintage music from Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, and I thought I would share some of that sonic goodness. So here is Nimoy’s Maiden Wine, from his album The Touch of Leonard Nimoy. That album was released just after Star Trek was cancelled.

The performance on the LP is livelier than the screened version and is among the best of Nimoy’s musical outings, but it does present a bleak, albeit often accurate, message about male/female relationships.
