Liner Notes

" Imagine the sound!!! The luscious sounds of songs!!! Songs sung by small puppets way back in the 1970's!!! This is the essential magic combination that you hold in your hand. This is the giraffes!!! Imagine a little giraffe and an earless rabbit with the astonishing ability to improvise songs out of thin air instantly with only seconds to prepare!!! Imagine a foursome of hotel lobby jazz puppets led by a father and son team of wild monkeys on guitar and horns backed up by a shy bear on the 2-string basitar and a small duck on wheels tickling the ivory keys like she has a dark secret!!! Now if you will imagine these two musical paths colliding and creating a sound like none you can possibly imagine!!!

Back in the early 1970's this story actually came true and the giraffes began a nine year relationship that would produce some of the most entertaining music you have never heard! Not since Doris and the Doorknobs have a band so successfully captured the inner ramblings of an improvising puppet!!! Between 1972 and 1979 these inert geniuses experimented in the basement of a Southern Kentucky home until a freak accident drove them to Seattle and into complete obscurity............FOREVER!!!! "Caspar Babypants, Seattle 1979
