I've actually been mp3'ing my favorite Bob-n-Ray radio progs lately, so
maybe I should try grabbing some of the best Sesame Street.  One more
record I forgot to mention that is great for scratching is "The Count
Counts", which has him dj'ing/personality on a radio station doing the
"countdown" top hits and reading a lot of numbers.  Well, it goes without
saying that you can do a lot of those James Brown "1.. 2... 3... 4..(hit
it!)" scratching tricks off this record, but you get "bah hahh hahhh
ahhhh" instead of JB's "ungh" shouts...
