		<description><![CDATA[If you lived in Champaign Urbana in the early 1990s, you likely remember Driver Has No Cash, a trio featuring amplified ukulele, toy drums, and the melodious vocals of Frank Gill. If you feel like spending a few moments wallowing in the gloriousness of that time and place, you&#8217;re in luck. Driver Has No Cash [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alexander Gelfand, author of the liner notes to our nearly-out-of-print first record has scored another impressive byline. A few months after publishing his first piece in a scrappy east coast daily called the &#8216;New York Times&#8217;, Alexander has published an article in a sleepy midwestern newspaper called the &#8216;Chicago Tribune&#8217;. The Trib (as locals call [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can hear a recording of Paul&#8217;s appearance on WBEZ&#8217;s 848 program, preparing his winning Krafty Kontest recipe, on WBEZ&#8217;s website:
ChicagoPublicRadio.com
Our &#8216;Draggin&#8217; the Bow&#8217; (from our second album) closes the segment. There&#8217;s also a picture of someone identified as &#8216;Paul Wargasky&#8217;, bearing little resemblance to our bassist.

Several weeks ago WBEZ&#8217;s morning show 848 anounced a recipe contest which required the use of A-1 steak sauce, Toblerone chocolate and Grey Puopon Mustard.  This was a challenge I was up for.

It&#8217;s a rare treat to see him younger and sharper in this Steve Allen Show appearance. If you&#8217;ve not read it, I recommend Lenny&#8217;s autobiography, How to Talk [...]]]></description>
