Jay About Books on Tape!

So we spent our annual Labor Day long weekend up in lovely Belfast Maine. I could review it but they are places we have gone before and that I have written about before so instead I will espouse the virtues of my first ever book on tape 1776. I have never listened to a book on tape before but it was a pretty decent way to spend a 6 hour car ride (in which your cat is leaking out of every orifice).

So go ahead and sing this one to the old Duran Duran standard... "Girls on Film"

Books on Tape

I put the disc in the car, it fits so fine

6 hours in the car, yeah we gots some time

soothing words from author McCullough

He is one smart fella

I can tell this story is gonna be mighty fine

Books on tape, books on tape, books on tape, books on tape

1776 and the Constitutional Army is a formin'

General Washington will soon be to Boston stormin'

with a dirty rabble of underdogs

Counting on storms and river fogs

But freedom is the word the Redcoats will be mournin'

Books on tape (10 whole CDs), books on tape

Books on tape (over 8 hours), books on tape

Into New York and we are getting badly

GW is starting to act a little madly

but then we get to Jersey and start to represent

beating down the Hessians that to Britain had been lent

Now we cross the Delaware and things are going radly

Books on tape (it's a real epic), books on tape

Books on tape, (my cat just pissed himself), books on tape

Books on tape (cheap it's from the library), books on tape

Books on Tape (we might rent another), books on tape...
