Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 10, 2013 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Flying Monkeys and Wicked Witches sound fun and interesting. When I think of Kansas, I think of Fundementalists who insist that the world was created 6000 years ago on a Tuesday and who think that the U. S. Constitution was written by Jesus while riding a dinosaur.
