TYCS 10a—Flyshit Luck


Something a little different this time—story songs and just plain stories as a companion to last week's gambling mix. Featuring our first original recording, with the TYCS players reading the fabulously filthy epic The Devil and Billy Markham. 

Deck of Cards — Tex Ritter
Your belief that this is the chintziest things you've ever heard will be proven false shortly. 

Jack O' Diamonds - Harry Jackson
The great cowboy singer, poet painter and sculptor performs an entirely different song than that of the same name John Lee Hooker does on the previous gambling mix.

The Devil and Billy Markham — The TYCS Players
A TYCS original performance in six parts of the great, dirty as all get out, epic enough poem by the great and epic enough Shel Silverstein. Those who don't know his work for Playboy are really missing out. Those who might know the performers are encouraged to stay silent.

Colorado Trail; Roving Gambler — Burl Ives
More singing without accompaniment.

The Red Deck of Cards — Tex Ritter
Now you're right—this is the chintziest thing you've ever heard. Just jaw dropping.
