Record Bin Roulette

Singing about the birds

This is just one of the bird 'stars' featured on this week's Record Bin Roulette. John Maynard and John Kessler comb through racks of old vinly to bring us a flock of memories: a review of songs about birds.

With birds falling out of the sky lately, Record Bin Roulette turns attention to songs about our feathered friends.

From Woody Woodpecker to Tom Lehrer, with appearances from Judy Garland, and Sterling Holloway.

Bird's the Word with Steve Miller, Anne Murray, and we bring a new twist to Freebird. 

Record Bin Roulette even manages to slip in a robin and pigeon into this week's homage to birds in song.
