While on a field trip to Farmer Mack Nugget's farm, students decide to save the lives of 8 gobblers cleverly named Ollie, Stanley, Larry, Moe, Wally, Beaver, Shemp, and Groucho. This funny book is by the author of the Captain Underpants series. For maximum comic effect, read this one aloud.

If YOU LOVE JOHNNY HICKMAN SINGING and GUITARING, and CHRIS LEROYS Melodic invention
AND FROM GAROD... Dedication - The Dangers
Again, I'm too biased to accurately assess this album, but the duo of Johnny Hickman and Chris LeRoy bring together influences from all over the map. You get a little rock-a-billy, country punk, and roots rock all rolled into one. Fans of music of all genres will probably enjoy this the most. Front Door and Sunday Morning are going in high rotation on the Ipod. Those are two good ones to try out...
Johnny Hickman and Chris LeRoy have written and performed together since 1979. At The SongBook we celebrate their creative relationship, and extensive musical community. Each week brings new songs, archive recordings, reviews and podcasts, even gems from their first band, The Dangers. ---Johnny and Chris
Mother Hips and Backyard Tire Fire just played a pair of "Co-Headliner"
shows in Chicago last weekend. Friday, BTF opened for the Hip,
Saturday, the Hips returned the favor and opened for Tire Fire.
Jason "Picklemic" Loomis and I went to both shows, and teamed up to
make the recordings for this week's pick. Mother Hips have a new album
out - Pacific Dust, which is very cool, and I recommend it highly. One
of the tracks on it is called White Falcon Fuzz, and it's got some
great lyrics. "Never thought I'd find myself at all, much less with a
pencil for a weapon in the fifth dimension!" I'll
pick the version of White Falcon Fuzz from the Saturday Hips show, when
they were the opener. As usual, I recommend the entire show (and in
this case, both shows!) but I am selecting one song in particular. . .
I am making a mix, you know!!!! :-) http://www.archive.org/details/MotherHips2009-11-2 1.matrix

Great stuff! I still remember when Cracker opened for the Crows in Omaha... and the Johnny came out in pj's playing this riff. Fantastic vibe. David was all decked out in a suit that looked straight out of 1950 England!
Thanx for the friendship! I've admired your work for some time and have heard you several times here in Pioneertown @ Pappy's. Pioneertown is my home, I live here on Mane Street in the old log cabin across from the Sound Stage. There's a Dummy playing piano on the porch and another dummy inside playing Guitar, Banjo, Fiddle, & Mandolin, that dummy is me. Stop by, say high, pull out a guitar, reach for a star!
Hey Chris, Loving the new Dangers CD, it ROCKS! Fi-stock was awesome too, thanks for putting on such a great show. It was great to see Mark Nemetz, Bob & Lisa and Gigglejuice as well as the awesome Dangers. Had to miss Grasshoppers to get to LA but I'm sure they rocked too!
