Walking
NOLA Politician Jail
Storm in the Gulf
Atom Bomb
Four themes to organize 114 of tonight's selections of found music and spoken quips once lost in the cracks of Americana. Inherently goofy quips placed completely out of context between tonight's music selections.
Audio for drinkers and thinkers - the only folks close to a radio after midnight on Saturday.
We stared at midnight with the walking theme and it's subsets:
1. Walking songs that feature animals
2. Instrumental walking songs (some with lyrics!)
3. Walking on the railroad tracks
4. Walking after midnight
5. Walking with ... (fill in guitarist's name here)
6. Walking women with that shake that makes men's brains bake

Sleepwalk
Teasin' You
Quip = "You ever get that feeling where you're not sure if you're awake or asleep?" Think of all those corny after-school-situation-comedies we watched that were based on the premise that you can't wake someone who is sleepwalking. Gilligan, Uncle Fester, Admiral Nelson and Jeannie, That Girl!, etc. all must have played on this scenario so many times that today people believe you can't wake a sleep walking person. I guy could mistake a souffle for a toilet and none of his family members would stop him if it meant waking him up. - Never underestimate the power of Gilligan.

Beetle Walk
The little clicking sound that makes up the announcer bed is a recording of death watch beetle noises. Esoteric? Yes. But what is really esoteric is the song title and lyrics of this announcer bed. Of course this is all percussion. They've got six legs and no hands, all they can play is the high hat and bass drum.

Mrs. Miller
These Boots Were Made For Walking
The requests were coming in fast and hard but the main requester made a fatal mistake. He didn't specify the singer for "These Boot Were Made For Walking." The consequences are like an audio auger for the auditory canal. Mrs. Miller! If only she could have sexed-up her look she would have been bigger than Brittney. Wait, she was bigger than a couple Brittneys. I mean she would have sold more records than the biggest star to come out of Kentwood, LA.

A request from my favorite listener, Bob Moulton. Cabby with more quips than my show. He wanted a dedication for all his long-suffering passengers as they ride the magic sleigh of his 1999 Crown Victoria. The song is also for Bob.

The great Sonny Curso requested this one. Sonny returns to his great Lazy Boy chair with a doctor's prescription to not lift anything over ten pounds. That is a script worth forging.
