Hi, all, yes I've been off the blog for a long time. Work has been prohibitive to say the least. I'm taking a moment to myself today to post this stuff, which is two shows late now (Beware of popups with all the links below - lyrics sites can get yucky):
1-800-SUICIDE
Muchas Veces
Shinbone Alley
Bales of Cocaine
I have to say I am less than satisfied with my selections for the Story Songs show. Muchas Veces and Bales of Cocaine were all very well, but I think I should have reached a little more for some better story songs. In particular, Johnny Cash's "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer" is one that I would have liked to include, and a recent re-listen of Sergeant Pepper's made me think that A Day In The Life or possibly Lovely Rita would have been good selections. I also thought The Chieftans' "North Amerikay" was worthy.
Oh well.
Hey guys, we'll just have to do another Story Songs show!

I think another "story songs" podcast would be nifty!

I was actually considering "A Day In The Life" too. :)
