Pelosi’s Bit

Here’s a link to a page that has Randy Pelosi telling his insanely hilarious story about being put in prison for playing the saxophone on the street in New Orleans. With myself accompanying on bass clarinet. It seems to get hung up if you just follow the link, so I recommend right-clicking and going to “Save Link As” and downloading it before listening:

Flash Gordon’s Ape

Lend an ear to this mutant bicuspid exchange between stem-cleaved psychic cousins Crowmeat Bob and Creepy Crawlfish Johnson, known to friends as Flash Gordon’s Ape. Known to the IRS and NSA as Robert Pence and John Aguero. It was recorded in a hunting lodge in the mountains of Virginia, direct to 8-track cassette (a degaussed Frampton Comes Alive!). Seriously. Part of the “Ticonderoga” sessions.
