Re: [IRCA] Long Songs

["Brent Taylor" <btaylor@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I worked the overnight shift at CFNB in the 1980s long songs (the
pre-cart, pre-computer days) were much loved, as they permitted one to take
a bathroom break.

Red Sovine's "Teddy Bear" was one such song.  One night, though, it started
skipping half way through and I was "not in a position" to fix it right
away.
