Episode #81: It Isn’t in the Nursery, It Isn’t in the Town

Full Duplex Radio

We have a lot of show tunes this week and also a big dose of The Muppets. Mike Nesmith sings and is mentioned on several occasions. Big artists cover other artists’ big songs. We take a field trip to Greenwich Village, Phoebe Cates sings (even though she doesn’t really need to), there’s a little Christmas music in there, and we present a few more of our favorites. Your turn. Time to listen.
