Episode #20-Records That Make Me Smile: "Humdingers, Monkeys, Biscuits and Crooked Yodels"

Today’s episode features some of my favorite records. Records that make me smile. Not necessarily records that make me laugh or chuckle, although those are here, but also records that simply make me smile, and shake my head. Make me smile in a sense of just how unusual or cool these records are. More like a shake my head in wonderment type of a smile.
