Folkways Return of the Rarebit Fiend Playlist

I've playlisted songs that came up in dreams before, but here's the tale of the first time I was actually listening to Rhapsody in a dream.

So I was rolling through the Rhapsody, listening to this and that, and suddenly pulled up a record of songs of homeless people during World War II begging for hot dogs in New York City, filed under artist name "Homeless". Apparently this was a distinct musical movement, documented on record. For a bonus WTF factor, the album cover featured a picture of Jason Robards.

Certainly this had to be inspired in part by yesterday's Kobayashi controversy [NY Times], spending too much time with the flotsam of the Folkways Records catalog, and going to sleep after eating blueberry pie, lobster, a Caramel Cone Sundae, and Geary's Hampshire Special Ale.

Here's a playlist of related material to inspire your own memorable slumber! (Ten tracks in under ten minutes.)
