The Self Expression Rag (Coney Island Washboard by The  Sons Of  The Whisky Rebellion) with Shep on Kazoo

"THE BALLAD OF DANGEROUS DAN McGREW"                                           
How Samuel Becket is  similar to Robert Service

How Service poems were presented as a theatrical show

"THE BALLAD OF BLASPHEMOUS  BILL McKIE" is read  by Shep who explains what some of the more obscure lines and images mean     

'"Where the frost fiend stalks to kill"
 
  Great Service first lines

"THE BALLAD OF PIOUS PETE"

NOTES: At this point in the show Jean recalls a story told him by Albro Gregory (editor of THE NOME NUGGETT) about a 92 year old man who was arrested for attempted rape then actual rape. Since rape is nothing to  joke about at anytime by anyone at any age. I think Jean should not have mentioned it.
