RLA & Tashi


This our third show on Animals, a topic always good for interesting music and poetry. Several dogs here this evening, including the original “Hound Dog” – not sounding like you thought it sounded – and cats and a rooster (cockerel) and a bumble bee with a stinger as long as my arm, a spider, a tiger, some birds, and, yes, even a dragon. Our usuals – Dylan, Kinks, RLS – plus, well, listen along and you’ll see who else.

The Village Green Preservation Society (Kinks, “Animal Farm”)

Anthology 3 (Beatles, “Octopus’s Garden”)

New Morning (Bob Dylan, “If Dogs Run Free”)

Ulysses (Modern Classics) (James Joyce’s Ulysses, read by Jim Norton)

Songs from a Room (Leonard Cohen, “Bird on a Wire”)
