Nash Rambles


Here's a great rerun from 2008 that I've always been really excited about.  If you don't know who Ogden Nash is, think Dr. Seuss for the New York Times reader, something like that.  He's a wordsmith who isn't above making up his own words, but he's never going to use a five cent word when that's a 50 cent word that will fit.  And it all comes out quite funny in the end, or at least I think so.  You need to download this for his retelling of the Nutcracker story, but there's oh so much more that you'll enjoy.  If you don't already have it, please download and enjoy Ogden Nash-Christmas With Ogden Nash (Caedmon TC 1323, Stereo, 1970).
