LES QUATRES VIEUX GARCONS - Mardi Gras Song [LES QUATRES VIEUX GARCONS/
     Folkways]  We had a request for the Cajun Mardi Gras song from a
     Lafayette native, and I was amazed to find this version in KCRW's
     library.  This band, whose name translates as "The Four Bachelors",
     were a group of close friends who did a one-off recording: Dewey &
     Tony Balfa, and "back-door Cajuns" Tracy & Peter Schwarz.

     singer Sean ... something, I forget.

     Actually, the caller asked me to play the entire album, but I asked 
     her to pick just one.  :-)
WILCO - I Must Be High [WILCO/Sire]  Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm probably not
     supposed to play advance cassettes on the air, but I just got this,
