GK:....If you're giving a party this spring, you know how hard it can be to get your guests in the mood. People who listen to public radio tend to go to a party and stand around in the kitchen and talk about the crisis in public education, it's hard to get them off public policy questions and get them to where they're ready to put their hands up over their heads and dance their hearts out, that that's why you need the Guy's All Star Shoe Band party tape --- it has the power to make liberals have a good time, and that isn't easy. (BAND BLOW-OUT) That's the A Side of the Guy's Shoe Band party tape, the side that gets your guests up and dancing, but when it's two or three in the morning, you need the B Side. (B SIDE) Music that tells your guests that it's time to put their shoes on and go home. Music that instills a sense of decency and remorse. That says, how can you behave like such a fool when our public schools are in the situation they're in.

Nice to see you. Thanks for coming. Come again soon. Go home.

The Party Tape from the Guys's All Star Shoe Band. It gets the party started and then....it says when the party is over.
