Episode #139: Magic Carpet Ride

I wanted to make sure you had this special all-covers edition of Star Time available as early this week as possible in case you needed musical accompaniment for any pre-Thanksgiving preparation you're doing on Wednesday, as I believe the curative powers of reinterpreted musical classics are the key ingredients to a surefire turkey brine. For those who don't celebrate the holiday, this is great background fodder for updating your file cabinets, light taxidermy or colonial home restoration. Thanks a bunch!
