I had this on cassette when I was a kid and this particular poem scared the $&it out of me, haha! Today I was reminded when I came across these kids playing by a little forested area... I told them to be careful of the yipiyuk...

This was a great event, unique among concerts, each artist doing a performance of a song or poem by Shel Siverstein, then giving up the stage to the next. Even the on and off drizzle could not detract from the festive atmosphere. The variety was a perfect match to the broad range of the composer. If there are clips of all the acts, they all deserve to be on YouTube or TV.
