Subject: RE: Discussion: Playing Filthy Lyrics
My uncle had a different dilemma. After making ten recordings of traditional folk ballads in a classical concert fashion, he produced a recording that featured Mark Twain's "1601," an extended mock Elizbethan discourse of the fart. Some reviewers thought he did it to shock THEM into comment. But I think he was just providing context for his other recordings, and having a lot of fun doing it.
