PMB118: The Mange and Dropsy Hour (Alan Parker, Charly Antolini, Johnny Duncan and the Bluegrass Boys, Angelo Michajlov, Mark de Clive-Lowe, George Jones, Big Boss Man, Charles Mingus, Soul Expedition)

What this episode covers

This week's comes as a result of a suggestion by listener Dr Rhubarb who astutely noticed our mentioning of the mange and dropsy in a recent edition of the show. In that same show we put out a call for theme suggestions and Dr Rhubarb pointed out that the mange and dropsy would themselves make an ideal candidate for a show theme. As a result you can expect an hour of music which is likely to make you want to itch, scratch and retain water. There is a brief interlude from illness as we bring you a brand new version of show favourite Caravan! WARNING: Dear listener, please don't do what we did in researching this show and go to either Google or Wikipedia to find out more about the mange or dropsy. At least not when you're just about to eat or have just eaten.
