Rhyme or Treason

An etymological exploration of the term “small potatoes” and ethnic slurs; how to smell like meat; a tirade about what could have been in the field of zeppelin technology; a tribute to the brave fighters of the balloon brigade. All in less than three minutes – a greater bargain cannot be had at any price.

This is footage of Amsterdam and surrounding area. It includes a velomobile, a bicycle enclosed inside a shell; a peek at the red light district, a glance at some windmills, street waffles and frites, and as much zwarte pieten as I thought you could handle.

From the Dana Gould site, this set from 2000 ends with the classic Island of Misfit Toys bit.

I saw Dana Gould recently in Seattle. After not performing much outside CA for many years he is appearing more throughout the US. See his site for itinerary.

Half an hour of Treason, yes indeed, for your listening pleasure.
