Show Notes:
1. The internet says alpaca wool is more valuable than llama wool, or at least more marketable. In the US, llamas are used more like guard dogs for herds of other animals, not for harvesting or selling their wool.

2. The Herb I know in real life who likes Italian sausages from concession stands at the fair would not steal art or livestock, or livestock with art on it. No actual Herbs or Kreutzers or llamas were harmed in the recording of this thing.

3. The song “Who Put the Bomp” was released by Barry Mann in 1961.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kpVqbCpXck

Image Alt text: Midway huckster at a carnival with tents and rides in the background, gestures up and to the viewer’s left. In his other hand, he holds a microphone. A few men in suits and fedoras stand in front of him gawking and smoking, one of them in a sailor suit. Across the bottom is the title, THE BARN JOB.
