Inspired by Susie, here's another "LP" we were listening to at about the same time as "Alice's Restaurant."
Heck, here's the whole album:
[Introduction, overture (Billy May), and narrator (the great Paul Frees*): "Stan Freberg modestly presents... "]
["1492, Madrid. The Queen of Spain grants an audience to an obscure Italian sailor... "]
["November, 1621. By now, the white man has arrived in great numbers... "]
"Say, that big luncheon under the trees? We'll ask in Indian! What a slogan! [breaks into song]
Take an Indian to lunch
This week
Show him we're a regular bunch
This week
Show him we're as liberal as can be...
["... a voice cries out in the wilderness, and a city is born... "]
["... on a hot July night in 1776, Benjamin Franklin was aroused from his work by the call of destiny... "]
["December 1776, on the banks of the Deleware... "]
["Yorktown, 1781. This was the climax... "]
NOTE * Unbelievably when you hear this, Frees also voiced Boris Badenov.

Hope it's not too early but it's always purely enjoyable, I think.
