4/1/2008 Dig Up The Roots
Musical madness ensues as we celebrate, musically, April Fool's Day. Talented musicians having a good time at the listeners peril. Jonathan Darlene Edwards (Paul Weston Jo Stafford), the Unnatural Seven and Al 'Jazzbeux' Collins Slim Gaillard fill up the belly with one of the hipist, cool stories you'll ever hear: Panic in Porky Park. We had a good laugh today.
