Sherlock Holmes and the legal profession are no strangers. Indeed, Holmes himself understood the law; recall Watson's list "<i>Sherlock Holmes</i>—his limits" in which Watson wrote that Holmes had "a good practical knowledge of British law."<br />
<br />
The Sherlockian world is no stranger to legal wranglings, going back to the Conan Doyle sons Denis and his hothead brother Adrian (to whom the head of the BSI at the time referred as "Adrenaline"), who contested the positioning of their father as the Literary Agent by the tongue-in-cheek Irregulars.<br />
<br />
And Sherlockians are fortunate to have a number of legal minds within the ranks of the Irregulars who can lend themselves to judicial-Sherlockian matters, including the likes of Leslie S. Klinger, Albert Rosenblatt, Andrew Peck, Betsy Rosenblatt, and many more. In fact, you can see the application of some of their work in <i><a href="https://bakerstreetirregulars.com/2018/12/28/canon-law/">Canon Law</a></i> by the BSI Press.<br />
<br />
We've had a number of discussions related to the law on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere over the years:<br />

At the "<a href="http://bsiarchivelilly.org/">Building an Archive</a>" conference that celebrated the opening of the <a href="http://bsitrust.org/">BSI Archive</a>'s new home, the Baker Street Irregulars Press announced <a href="https://bakerstreetirregulars.com/2019/11/11/aboriginals/">a new book</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Once upon a time, a man invited a group of his friends to join him for lunch and conversation about his favorite literary figure. Eighty-five years later, the Baker Street Irregulars continues, and the group of friends who have attended its Dinners or joined its ranks numbers in the thousands. Who was that man, and who were those friends?"</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: right;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://bakerstreetirregulars.com/2019/11/11/aboriginals/"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="470" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KjGG98q2k3o/XdA1G-1xvQI/AAAAAAABJew/bZiTA1DCsCYmXz_m-fAb7Oh47u6PFIObACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/aboriginals-cover.jpg" title="Aboriginals: The Earliest Baker Street Irregulars" /></a></div>
<br />
<i><a href="https://bakerstreetirregulars.com/2019/11/11/aboriginals/">"Aboriginals": The Earliest Baker Street Irregulars, 1934-1940</a></i> by Harrison and Linda Hunt is the first book of its kind by the BSI Press: a collection of short biographies about the men and women who were associated with the BSI from its earliest days.<br />
<br />
"Women?" we hear you asking? Yes, a number of women correctly answered the famous <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2006/08/may-be-mere-intellectual-puzzle-to-you_28.html#.XdAyvVdKjb0">crossword puzzle</a> that was something of an entrance exam to the BSI in its formative year. <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose89">Women were finally recognized as members in 1991</a>.<br />
<br />
According to the Baker Street Irregulars website:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"This book presents capsule biographies and photographs of the earliest, “aboriginal,” Irregulars, — many of them remarkably accomplished individuals — including heretofore obscure solvers of the crossword puzzle that conferred membership to a fortunate few."</blockquote>
Harrison (Terry) and Linda have created sections that recognize the different levels of involvement of these individuals over time: <b>The Stalwarts</b>, <b>Dinner Attendees</b>, <b>The Irregular Irregulars</b>, and <b>Crossword Puzzle Solvers</b>.<br />
<br />
Reading through these summaries of their lives brings a number of surprises (at least to this writer).<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
"...it is clear from the life-stories told here that the Irregulars and their guests have always been an eclectic bunch...Some came to the Dinner out of intense interest in the subject matter; others came solely out of friendship, while a few never attended at all. Though some may be famous, I promise you all are fascinating."</div>
— From the Foreword by Leslie S. Klinger, General Editor, Biography Series</blockquote>
<br />
If you're interested in the personalities that laid the groundwork for the Sherlockian movement, this is an essential book to have. It's just <a href="https://bakerstreetirregulars.com/2019/11/11/aboriginals/">$24.95 from the BSI Press</a>. Tell them IHOSE sent you.<br />

We took the show on the road!<br />
<br />
Burt and Scott ventured to Bloomington, Indiana for the Baker Street Irregulars' conference "Building an Archive" at the Lilly Library at Indiana University. It was an event filled with conversations and exhibitions that delighted all, collectors or not.<br />
<br />
The event was the celebration of the BSI Archive officially opening at the Lilly. It featured a walk-through the exhibition "The History of the BSI Through 221 Objects" and a number of panels about the archive, collecting, collectors and more.<br />
<br />
We bring you some of the voices from the event, including a number of presenters, the informed staff of the Lilly, the conference organizers, and more. These people include Marsha Pollak, Ray Betzner, Peter Blau, Glen Miranker, Steve Rothman, Mike Whelan ("Wiggins" of the BSI), Hartley Nathan, Michael Kean ("Wiggins"-in-the-wings), Joel Silver, Erika Dowell, and BSI Conferences lead Ross Davies.<br />

Remembering Jeremy Brett on His 86th Birthday

Today marks what would have been Jeremy Brett's 86th birthday. It seems unthinkable to imagine the definitive Sherlock Holmes from the Granada productions of the 1980s and 1990s as an octogenarian, and even more unthinkable that it has been 24 years since he left us.<br />
<br />
For an entire generation (perhaps more!), Jeremy Brett <i>is</i> Sherlock Holmes. It's difficult to underestimate his impact on Sherlockians, as his imagery and influence is still prevalent today. Imagine what his impact would have been if we had the Internet and social media with us during the run of the Granada series.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the Granada series, you might consider checking out <b><i><a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/studyincelluloid.html">A Study in Celluloid: A Producer's Account of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes</a></i></b> by Michael Cox, the producer of the series and <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/2WA4vEu">Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett</a></i></b> by David Stuart Davies. Both are excellent accounts behind the scenes of the show and the actor.<br />
<br />
As a tribute to his memory, we give you this delightful remembrance of <a href="https://youtu.be/FcPb4FKUWWM">Brett's playfulness as Sherlock Holmes</a>:<br />
<br />

<br /></center>
<br />
And this video compilation of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOTIW83oXs" target="_blank">the best Sherlock Holmes quotes</a> from the Granada series (Season 1) is as nice as any:<br />

For those following these pages, next weekend marks the <a href="http://bsiarchivelilly.org/">BSI Archive event</a> at the Lilly Library at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/">BSI Archive</a> itself is an important repository of items related to the history of the <a href="http://www.bakerstreetirregulars.com/">Baker Street Irregulars</a>, the foremost literary society dedicated to Sherlock Holmes.<br />
<br />
And celebrating its new location will include a special exhibit of 221 items of significance from the collection. What will be among those 221 pieces? Glen Miranker, BSI ("<i>The Origin of Tree Worship</i>") shared some of those secrets, as well as the significance of the Lilly Library in <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose175">Episode 175: Building an Archive</a>.<br />

<br />
Perhaps it's something you can take with you on the road if you're attending the event. Or perhaps listen to next Saturday, if you're not.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, here's what the boys at Baker Street Elementary have to say about it...<br />

Usually things run like clockwork around these parts. But with both Burt and Scott on the road for work, and trying to coordinate daytime, evening, and even weekend schedules with various guests, sometimes it doesn't work out.<br />
<br />
So, we're returning to our roots and just having a chat with each other. It's a wide-ranging conversation that takes us from the 92nd Street Y with Joel Grey and Nicholas Meyer (Joel Grey played a small part in <i>The Seven Per-Cent Solution</i>, of course), to the Sons of the Copper Beeches in Philadelphia and their new members. In both instances, we discuss the importance of tradition.<br />
<br />
We remember a member of the BSI who recently passed away and his considerable contribution to Sherlockian scholarship. Speaking of the BSI, we mention the upcoming BSI Weekend. It hasn't been officially announced yet, but you can follow at a couple of sites.<br />
<br />
We also make an announcement of a special and exclusive episode, only for our <a href="http://patreon.com/ihearofsherlock">Patreon supporters</a>. If you become a supporter before the end of 2019, you can have access to this special outtakes episode that we're planning. Hear what goes on behind the scenes at IHOSE!<br />
<br />
We also read some listener comments! Was yours one of them? Maybe you should submit a comment and we'll read yours next time.<br />

Baker Street Elementary – Don't Mess with Sherlock

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
“Texas, I think” [FIVE] </h4>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F-VumJdilF0/WJa_9TrpA3I/AAAAAAAAuO8/52U-hZ7WY4Qz2Oqo84lF8KQnF0zynZ5YQCPcB/s1600/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F-VumJdilF0/WJa_9TrpA3I/AAAAAAAAuO8/52U-hZ7WY4Qz2Oqo84lF8KQnF0zynZ5YQCPcB/s640/Baker%2BStreet%2BElementary.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While it's the largest of the 48 contiguous states on the USA, Texas warrants only one mention in the Sherlock Holmes stories. The ship that carried the perpetrators of the Openshaw murders was named <i>Lone Star</i>, and Holmes recognized its significance:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"...the name is that which is given to one of the states of the Union."</blockquote>
Watson replied, "Texas, I think."<br />
<br />
Holmes clearly didn't care:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I was not and am not sure which; but I knew that the ship must have an American origin.”</blockquote>
Well! Texas is having none of that. <a href="https://www.dfw-sherlock.org/about.html">The Crew of the Barque Lone Star</a> was founded in 1972 as a Sherlockian society in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and after having revived itself in 1996, is a thriving group. Their members are the very crew that bring us Baker Street Elementary every two weeks.<br />
<br />
But Dallas is also the site of <a href="https://www.bouchercon2019.com/">Bouchercon 2019</a>, the annual mystery conference named for Anthony Boucher, BSI ("<i>The Valley of Fear</i>"). Boucher was an eminent Sherlockian of his time, based in San Francisco. Most famously he wrote scripts for the Basil Rathbone / Nigel Bruce radio series <i>The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</i>. He received his investiture in the Baker Street Irregulars in 1949.<br />
<br />
Before we head off to Baker Street Elementary, here are a couple of links related to Boucher's work:<br />

<br />
Virtually every Sherlockian knows the poem "<a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2013/10/celebrate-national-poetry-day.html#.XarWOuhKjb0">221B</a>" by Vincent Starrett, BSI ("<i>A Study in Scarlet</i>").<br />
<br />
Starrett was one of the giants in the early Sherlockian world, and his works are still remembered today. Some of them (particularly his non-Sherlockian work) may be unfamiliar to many, but that's been changing in recent years, thanks to the intrepid and tireless efforts of Ray Betzner, BSI ("The Agony Column").<br />
<br />
Ray writes and edits <b><a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/">Studies in Starrett</a></b>, the blog dedicated to exploring the life and works of Charles Vincent Emerson Starrett. Ray is probably the foremost expert on Vincent Starrett, along with Susan Rice, BSI ("Beeswing"). You may recall that the pair appeared on <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2014/02/episode-61-private-life-of-vincent.html#.XarWPuhKjb0">I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere Episode 61: The Private Life of Vincent Starrett</a>.<br />
<br />
Ray's work on Studies in Starrett has made it abundantly clear how much passion he has for his subject and how much enjoyment he derives from it. Through meticulous research — and a little Sherlockian deduction — Ray is able to discern details about books, inscriptions, and other related items that are part of the Starrettian lore.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>The Netflix of Sherlockian Blogs</b></h2>
Today, Ray launched a series of entries all about the origins of what it probably Vincent Starrett's most famous work among Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts: his iconic poem from 1942 titled "221B."<br />
<br />
This is a poem that is almost universally read at Sherlockian gatherings. The line "and it is always 1895" has become synonymous with the time and place of Sherlock Holmes, and at this point is nearly Canonical in its usage and recognition.<br />
<br />
Ray has written eleven chapters that chronicle the poem, from a background of the time and place in which it was written, to Starrett's struggles and hopes and his love for Sherlock Holmes, early origins of the verses, its dedication and first appearance, and its spread and ultimate fame.<br />
<br />
The chapters are laid out below, each one seamlessly leading to the next. They are amply complemented with illustrations, scans, manuscripts, photos, and even audio clips. It's a delightful multimedia journey through Starrett's work.<br />
<br />
Chapter 1:       <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/6/4/here-dwell-together-still-">Introduction and Prologue: ‘Where it is always 1895’</a><br />
Chapter 2:       <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/6/5/x97oirni6nzusfafz8hv6yqctk9id8">'So they still live for all that love them well'</a><br />

Chapter 4:       <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/6/10/here-dwell-together-still-two-men-of-note">‘Here dwell together still’</a><br />
Chapter 5:       <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/6/11/he-has-done-man-little-things-for-me">‘He has done many little things for me’</a><br />

Chapter 7:       <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/7/27/part-of-a-slim-volume">‘Part of a slim volume’</a><br />

Chapter 11:     <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/2019/8/17/afterthoughts-and-acknowledgments">Afterthoughts and Acknowledgments</a><br />
<br />
We're very glad to see this dissertation on one of the Sherlockian world's finest poems. Would it be too much to hope for this in printed form?<br />
