..yuck...kitty kats. Touched by Dexter's loyalty, devotion and appreciation of the finest in doggie treats, Roland prepares a musical dog show to coincide (pretty much) with Dexter's 7th Birthday (or possibly 6th - - he was, after all, an anonymous rescue dog). So DOG DAYS! will burst on your eardrums in a wild cacophony of barks, whimpers and desperate howls. 

Wanting to start the show with class, the first voice you'll hear will be Johnny Cash singing "Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog" , which is actually the American Canine National Anthem. 

The Beatles' "Martha, My Dear" was allegedly written in honor of Paul McCartney's one-time dog (or was it Lennon?)(or was it cat?) 

Something Completely Whatever ventures into avante-garde music with a Terry Riley piece titled "Half-Wolf Dances Mad in Moonlight," almost eight and a half minutes long. (Is that how you spell avante-garde? Doesn't look quite right.) 

Big Mama Thornton sings her definitive version of "Hound Dog" - E. Presley...get off and walk! Arf! Arf! 

And, speaking of definitive versions, of course you'll hear "Let Me Play with Your Poodle" by - - wait for it - - Lightnin' Hopkins! Will wonders never cease? 

This Tuesday, Dexter will be glued to the radio from 7 to 9. His treat of choice? Newman's Own Snack Sticks! Decadent, n'est pas?"

Listen to Something Completely Different every Tuesday night at 7:00 pm on KRCB-FM Radio 91 / streaming @ radio.krcb.org / Comcast Cable channel 961 all over the Bay Area / the FREE KRCB App @ iTunes & Google Play!

Something Completely Different

Roland Presents Something Completely Musical Genius - Friday at 8 pm

As many of you know, I like to draw the material for the Something Completely Different shows from the piles and stacks that clutter my household and cause my wife to shake her head in impatience as she pushes and pulls boxes and boxes of CDs from here to there and back again.
