The roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd…

This week’s comic can be represented as a trio of nested circles, where the outer two circles are exactly the same size and the innermost circle is slightly smaller.

A pair of 1914 recordings by the famous tenor singer. According to the wikpedia article I found, prior to his death in 1918, he was the third highest selling artist on the Victrola label.
