Insert "Out of Tune" or "Tuna" Joke Here

The town of Altoona, PA had a big 150-year celebration in 1999, and here it is.  Yes, some of it IS out of tune.  Some of it is very good.  Much of it is diminished by either poor miking or poor post-production.  And somebody should have had the Abe Lincoln recreator stop emoting.  He tried to milk every possible imploration from words that are all the more profound when merely said, not overdramatically declaimed.

Still, here are the contents, along with a fat program book and an art mural.
