It's song poem day here at Schadenfreudian Therapy, kids! And the lovely tunes are performed in the most halfassed way imaginable by song-poem hack, Ramsey Kearney!
And what songs they are! We have "A Song to Feed Chickens By", a love/hate relationship in which the chickens are lovingly named, then threatened with "How'd you like to meet Colonel S.?" when they don't lay enough eggs. Maybe it's because the chicken is named Gus?
Then there's a lovely tale of an Indian maiden named Winnescheika who elicits the jealousy of the other squaws, and they axe her right in the wigwam. Ouch.
Or the touching memories of Susie-belle, a doggie that's gone to meet Jesus. Best line: "She learned to use the bathroom on a towel and all I had to do was wash it out in a bucket". I dunno, maybe you speak white trash better than I do, I THINK that's what he was saying.
Anyway, it's thrilling to know that the song poem industry lasted until at least 1982 when this album was released.

Hey there,
Is this one still available? I downloaded it fine, but when I tried to use winrar to open it, every file was "corrupted".
Thanks,

Hi Bob,
