you're special

There's a Fred Rogers album called "Tomorrow on the Children's Corner," based on his early kid show from Pittsburgh, with great songs in a surrealistic story about finding Tomorrow. I've had a tape of it for some time, and it's been on my iPod since I learned to rip files.

Long story short, it's now obtainable at Way Out Junk, a page that presents out-of-print recordings for niche listeners. X the Owl writes poetry, Henrietta Pussycat says "Meow" a lot, and Lady Elaine Fairchild sings about why she's special in a dadaistic self-parody number.

It's sensational stuff. I've listened to it hundreds of times myself. I highly recommend it.

That do sound like fun listening. I had some Kukla, Fran & Ollie on tape, wish I still did.

Happy Birthday, Tony! At least I assume that's what Kip means in the next message. ;)
