Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 18, 2013 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

At the wedding, last weekend, the Rabbi instructed us on the informal nature of interjections & refrains of "AMEN" -- he said that us non-believers could use alternative phrases, like "YES" or "UH-HUH"... so I went with "YAY TEAM".
