You know, there's nothing better than Dr. Demento.

You have a lovely southern accent there, Eric.

Truly, an expression of the heart, the mind, and the the soul, that transcends the mere boundaries of time and space, and aspires to the often-sought, but rarely-achieved status of a timeless classic ...

Unfortunately, it is bound to spark a veritable firestorm of debate among the literati of our day and age !!!

Should it be ... "eat THem up, yum" ...

Or, should it be ... "eat 'em up, yum" ...

??????????

This is one of my hubby's favorites, I think I smell a duet. :)

Jen, what accent? ;-)

Jeff, I've intentionally chosen the classical style for this reading, recognizing that some might quibble, but I feel we should make every effort to resist the coarsening of the language.

Beth, I shall consider the feasibility of conducting auditions for guest accompani...accompnia...accompnes...partners in this endeavor. Does he, perchance, play banjo?

Ah, well, I wish I could hear your reading over the obnoxiously loud Spamalot Soundtrack from where I'm sitting. I trust, by way of the comments, that you have chosen an appropriately literary classic for your debut and look forward to hearing it when I can find a quiet place to plug in.

Gwynne, I wouldn't recommend going to any trouble for this. And be sure you're wearing headphones; otherwise, you could get in trouble for disturbing the peace.

But of course, ear phones! Why didn't I think of that earlier? Right here they are, in my purse.

Oh, that was delightful! My husband is looking at me funny cuz I can't wipe this grin off my face.

Looking forward to The Second. Can you do Dixie the Tiny Dog? That was a request. Please?

That was definitely interesting! I liked the tone of your voice... The way you didn't read it monotone as so many tend to do!

Can you do Dixie the Tiny Dog? That was a request. Please?

I can't believe I'm even asking this...but which version?

[You're what's known in the trade as an enabler. You know that, don't you?]

Rachel, I'll settle for "interesting" any day! ;-)

There's more than one version? Are you kidding me?! LOL! Well, I'd like to request the one they used to play on KOTR radio station in Cambria, CA if that's any help at all. ;-)

Unfortunately, no, he doesn't play banjo. I'll have to see about getting him lessons - that would be quite amusing. :) I just played it for him and he was very appreciative or your technique.

Gwynne, you'll have to email the lyrics to me since all I have are those from KOMA. You do remember KOMA, don't you?

Beth, I have a technique?! Kewl!

KOMA, of course. How could I "forget?" I'll post the lyrics.
