Behold all you Groovers--THIS MAY BE A SPOILER!!!!!
This episode has no narration. If i did my job, you should be able to listen along and dig the groove I have shovelled with happiness and clarity, whether you know the source of the Tracks or not. BUT, and that is a capital butt, if you wish to know what the hell you are listening to, it doth lie below. Good Night, and may all your dishes come out spot free..
