NEW MP3s FOR ALL AT TMBG.COM There are three MP3s available to you now at tmbg.com. It is our "Robot/Puppet" special edition. We bring you a highlight from our deep catalog "Become A Robot," recorded live in a decade long ago. The other two tracks there, a version of "Robot Parade" and a cover of the Bob Lind buried treasure "I Love to Sing," were recorded by the Deeply Felt Puppet Theater (who are appearing at the kids' show in Seattle). Gloria Felt and Jebadiah Deeply started the group, and are joined by banjo virtuoso Pearly the Poodle.
