    The Firesign Theater became our 'lingua franca' 1969-1973. Some of us still use their best lines as a remembrance of times past.

    I bought this as an album when it first came out (on some obscure label) and thought it was an album written much in the manner of their classic releases. When you have listened to the complete Let's Eat radio shows, you come to realize that this album and/or narrative was built, rather brilliantly, around a lot of random and brilliant bits, conversations, and funny moments from their radio shows. For this Just Folks album, they added the Ducktown reporters and overdubbed the reporters interacting with the Let's Eat conversations on the tapes. It's a *real* mash up of creative overdubbing, yet it works, and remains one of my favorites.
