Swear to Tell the Truth for Tuesday, August 10, 2021 (10:00 to 12:00 noon)
Breaking with our usual seriousness and high purpose this week we present “The Poultry Show”, a couple of hours of midsummer foolishness, songs about or referencing all manner of fowl–chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc. This program turned out to be as difficult to put together as any other show and we have forgotten why we thought it might be a good idea in the first place but it’s all in the audiofile now.
“Down in the hen house on my knees, I thought I heard a chicken sneeze” — Henry “Red” Allen
“Boy, you ever do anything like stealin’ chickens?” — Frank Stokes
