I just started a new thread about the tapes, hope Dolores & other interested parties will check it out & correct my inevitable mistakes....

About the Yorkist Ballad Charade Society: Some years ago, a bunch of Getaway regulars started trying to figure out what makes a ballad. They decided it's not the lyrics or the tune, it's the fact that it tells a story. So they set out to perform a ballad without either lyrics or tune. Thus was born the Yorkist Ballad Charade Society, whereof the members dress in silly costumes each year during the Getaway concert and pantomime a ballad which the audience has to guess. They've been getting better and better and funnier and funnier. Sorry, I don't think Don taped this act.... - Rita
