Episode #137: Cut Loose


This episode is chock full of lowdown highlights. Googie René in awe over "multi-colored grapes." The Alcoves impersonating Cassius Clay. Leon begging you to buy his only record. The Dukays using "M.F." in a '60s title. The prototype of the keytar with a sawed-off piano and an ironing board. A couple that has to remind themselves not to kill each other. An Arthur Conan Doyle tie-in. And Ural Thomas. Ural M.F. Thomas.
