Here's an MP3 of Palindromes, performed by Baby Gramps on WFMU in June of 1988, hosted by Nicholas Hill. Baby Gramps is a Seattle based performer who is best described as a cross between Popeye and a Tuvan Throat Singer. This track is his crowd-pleasing ode to palindromes, words, phrases (or in his case, entire books) that are spelled the same backwards and forwards. Not to be confused with the current Todd Solondz movie.
I remember that show and a few more. Nice to see a pic! Him and the Codger give old sounding folks some quality time on FMU.
Cheers,
John L

Just like the name "Ian" well according to Andy that is.

How did that one go, "slap a ham on Omaha, pals"? Can't wait to use that one in context.
I think the Geese who saw God are in Paraparaparaparaparallelogrammatica.
Thank you, Pseu, for the archive!
