Absurd Eclectica, a new mix

I made this mix for my puppeteer friends to accompany their late night pre-show tech frenzy. This music is suitable for other activities too; it’s not exclusive to the manufacture of puppets and puppet-related accessories.

Lots of worldly, winsome, and weird music here. Note that the 27 tracks listed are in Song, Band format (because in many cases it’s hard to tell which is which).

4. Spanish Grease, Willie Bobo

It’s true, I stuck a one minute track of my own in there (it’s over soon enough, don’t worry). You can listen to the the whole eclectic session (or one like it? hmm…) online here:
