Mar. 29 Kenny Young and the Eggplants. With April Fool’s day coming up, we have an encore of one of the of the funniest bands we have had on the series, with songs about badminton-playing badgers, making the world better through a haircut, and other deeply profound subjects. This is an encore of their studio session of 2002.
