Mo' Beefheart geekdom

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a fella named Joel Bakker, who was putting together a podcast about Captain Beefheart's magnum opus Trout Mask Replica under the purple-hued auspices of Darren Husted's "Prince Track by Track" podcast. Joel devoted a separate episode to each of TMR's 28 tracks (plus an intro, an epilogue, and a "bonus track"). They'll run in order from October 1 to October 31 (link in this article, where you can hear a teaser episode now; mine will be up on October 10 and 14). In one of 'em, I tell the story of learning this song from a tape Ken Duvall (of Dog Truck fame) made with his buddy Bruce Crystal, around the time Ken auditioned for Beefheart up in Boston.
