Thread Name: ADD: Recitations/Songs by Les Barker
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Satirical recitations by Les Barker
OK, I'll 'fess up. The "Lyr Add" prefix was just to get this thread into the music section, and avoid attracting the people who are only interested in "BS." I'm not interested in starting an argument about the political implications of the poems, which I'm sure would have happened if this were in the BS section.

Anyway, I think we've had threads about recitations in the music section before. Why not? Recitations are also (sometimes) a form of folklore, and folk musicians sometimes perform them.

I hope others will post poems here.
